The DTI-Guimaras in coordination with the DILG monitored
the compliance of Business Permit and Licensing System (BPLS) on January 20,
2017 in Jordan and Buenavista towns, as mandated by the program.
These are the use of Unified Form, setting-up of Business
One Stop Shop (BOSS), presence of BPLS Flow Chart and Customer
Complaint/Information Desk, and/or observance of one time-processing and
assessment of Business Permit applications.
A Joint Memorandum Circular No. 01, Series of 2016 was
issued on August 30, 2016 which prescribed the revised guidelines in BPLS
streamlining nationwide. The Circular calls for the adoption of three (3) steps
from five (5) steps.
These steps are: application, filing and verification of business
permit applications, one-time assessment of taxes, fees and charges, and/or pay
and claim for business permits. It mandates a two (2) day processing time for
new applications and one day for renewal.
It also mandates the co-location of the Local Bureau of Fire Protection
with Business Permits and Licensing Officer.
The Circular orders the local government units (LGUs) to
automate and computerize all business permit transactions in order to hasten
the frontline services. In Guimaras, all the five municiplaities have adopted
the streamlined BPLS.#
