BACOLOD City – Executive Assistant Samuel Montoyo has given the remaining nine nonparticipating villages in the Business One-Stop Shop (BOSS) until today before he files a complaint against them before the Office of the President, he said.
The nonparticipating villages include Montevista, 2, 4, 16, 18, 19, 27, 29, and 31.
Montoyo, who is a member of the city’s Anti-Red Tape Act Core Team, said the complaint will focus on the disobedience of the villages.
The BOSS is the city government’s initiative to make faster and easier the business permit transaction in Bacolod.
Agencies and offices involved in the business permit application and renewal have set up their respective booths at city hall for the BOSS.
They are the Bureau of Fire Protection, the City Health Office, the City Permits and Licensing Division, the City Treasurer’s Office Licensing Division, and the City Planning and Development Office Zoning Division.
On Dec. 19, Mayor Evelio Leonardia issued a local executive order requiring all villages in the city to also put up their desks at city hall so the applicants can process their barangay clearances there.
However, only 22 villages initially followed the order, prompting the city government to warn the nonparticipating barangays.
The BOSS started on Jan. 3 and is expected to end on Jan. 20.
As of yesterday, 52 of 61 barangays in the city have already participated in the BOSS, according to Montoyo.
BOSS is in line with Republic Act 9485, or the Anti-Red Tape Act of 2009, which directs all government offices to improve efficiency in the delivery of government services to the public by reducing the bureaucratic red tape and preventing graft and corruption.
“Red tape” is a term for “excessive regulation or rigid conformity to formal rules that is considered redundant or bureaucratic and hinders or prevents action or decision-making.”/PN
