00:00A large increase in the number of business permit holders in Iligan City
00:05since the local government implemented the E-Boss.
00:09Find out what it is in the words of Shariff Timhar of Radyo Pilipinas.
00:16Before, Jarlene had to go through a lot of work to renew her business permit.
00:21Now, she's just a quick line in the Business Permits and Licenses Division here in Iligan City Hall.
00:27For me, it's okay. I'm used to the process. There's nothing to worry about.
00:32That fast process of obtaining a business permit
00:35is a sign of the local government's support for the Anti-Red Tape Authority
00:39to speed up the transaction with government officials.
00:42And because the process was simplified,
00:44the number of business permit holders increased significantly.
00:48In fact, it has increased to almost a thousand in just two months of the year.
00:53I am a loyal member of ARTA.
00:56I am the one who contributed to the increase in the number of business permits issued this year.
01:03In fact, as of today, we have issued 8,825 business permits.
01:11ARTA was the first to issue the electronic business one-stop shop
01:15or E-Boss Certificate of Commendation
01:17because of the digitalization of the process of applying and renewing the business permit.
01:22This is in accordance with the Directive of President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr.
01:26that instead of red tape, the agency should use red carpet
01:30to spread the government's guidance to the new Philippines.
01:34From PBS Radyo Pilipinas, Iligan, this is Shariff Tim Hart.
