MAYOR LEN-LEN ORETA DID IT AGAIN

One-Stop-Shop (OSS) for Business Permit Renewals worked for Malabon City again. 2-years before Pres. Duterte's first SONA ordering LGUs to make permit renewals fast and easy - Mayor Oreta was already trying to do that. For 2020, renewal payment is in under 3-hrs. thru 7-Windows (could have been 5 if BFP and Cedula payments weren't separate lines) with permit release within the day or the next.

Business Permit renewals should be basically ministerial. Any query or clarification, if direly necessary, should be tackled at the pendency of the business year, NOT DURING the very hectic 2-3 week renewal period at the year start.

I hope that that Mayor Oreta makes this a tradition for others to follow. I'm a proud PRRD supporter but during the recent mid-term elections, I hesitated on a new Mayor - even if she was endorsed by Pres. Duterte, whose Davao City is a model of efficiency and ease of doing business - because a new administrator might not adapt the same OSS.

Guess who I voted for?
