BOSS in Dumaguete launches friendly business processing

The Business One-Stop Shop (BOSS) in Dumaguete City will be formally launched on October 7 at 10:30 a.m. at the City's Sanggunian Session Hall, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) provincial office here announced.

The B.O.S.S. is an all-in-one venue that houses the mandatory government agencies in charge in the issuance of business permits, licenses and registration, among others.

DTI Information Officer May Liza Sevilla said this project aims to cut down the time, money and effort usually needed to secure or renew business permit and allows enterprises to complete all business requirements at one time.

The event is an offshoot of the partnership of the City of Dumaguete with Negros Oriental government, Negros Oriental Business Development Foundation (NOBDF), Negros Oriental Investment Promotion Center (NOIPC), Negros Oriental Chamber of Commerce and Industry (NOCCI), and Department of Trade and Industry, in collaboration with the Bureau of Internal Revenue, PAG-IBIG, PHILHEALTH and SSS.

The creation of the BOSS in Dumaguete is also seen as a relevant step towards sustaining employment, which is foremost in President Benigno Aquino's agenda to create a friendly investment environment in each province.

President Aquino earlier cited the lack of infrastructure, changing government investment policies and bureaucratic red tape as major economic concerns that he will address to attract investors.

In his first briefing with the Malacanang Press Corps, the President said corporations eyeing the Philippines as an investment location often complain about tedious processing of their applications and other documentary requirements caused by bureaucratic red tape which is a bane to investments promotion.

All business starters and expanders are now encouraged to avail the services of the Business One-Stop Shop. (PIA/JCT)
