TALAVERA, Nueva Ecija, September 1 (PIA) -- Starting a business in the towns of Talavera and Guimba as well as San Jose City is made faster and more convenient with the launching of the Philippine Business Registry (PBR) in those areas.
“PBR is the integration of registration processes of five government line agencies namely Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), Bureau of Internal Revenue, Home Development Mutual Fund or Pag-ibig, Philippine Health Insurance Corporation, and Social Security System into a single application system, which cuts down the processing time from two weeks to 30 minutes,” DTI National Economic Research Business Assistance Center Central Manager for Region 3 Raquel Malig said.
“To be able to get necessary permits from the municipal or city business permits and licensing office (BPLO), applicants must first register their business with these line agencies. Hence, PBR serves as the first step to secure business permits from the BPLO,” Malig added.
Under the agreement, the three local government units shall provide personnel who will man and process the papers referred to the PBR whose office shall be located within the municipal or city hall.
DTI, for its part, shall provide the needed trainings of the local government staff and make the acquisition of the business name easier.
Among the areas in the country that has committed to the PBR include the cities of Quezon, Valenzuela, Muntinlupa, Batangas, Iloilo, and Cagayan De Oro. (CLJD/CCN-PIA 3)
