DILG R.O. 3 awarded a Plaque of Recognition to Bataan Peninsula State University for the successful implementation of the “Alliance on the Streamlining the electronic Business Permit and Licensing System (eBPLS) in Central Luzon Project”. The State University was able to customize the eBPLS of DILG for the Municipal Government of Limay, Bataan, thus, paving the way for the LGU to utilize the system resulting to a more efficient and effective governance and management.
The award was given on March 12, 2014 at the BPSU by CDD Chief Martin Porres B. Moral in behalf of RD Florida M. Dijan and received by Dr. Gregorio J. Rodis, Vice-President for Administration and Finance and Dr. Teresita R. Castillo, Vice President for Academic and Student Affairs in behalf of Dr. Delfin O. Magpantay, President.
The implementation of the Alliance on the Streamlining the eBPLS and for the LGUs in Central Luzon is an initiative of the DILGR3 Regional Management to support national government’s efforts in the pursuit of excellence in local governance. This is in accordance with the thrust of the national government to curb red tape in the bureaucracy and rid the systems of delays and unwarranted requirements. To realize the attainment of more business-friendly local government units, an innovative approach was employed – forging public-private alliance.
The DILG’s partnership with Bataan Peninsula State University and the Bataan Chamber of Commerce and Industry has paved the way for the successful customization of the generic eBPLS software of the Department for the pilot recipient municipality of Limay, Bataan.
According to the LGU Officials, the municipality has benefited from the system through the improved and efficient collection of business taxes that resulted to an increased income.
With this milestone, the Department is planning to showcase the LGU as “learning center” for replication of other LGU’s in the Province.
As the Vice-Chairperson on Preparedness, DILG R3 takes an active role in enhancing disaster preparedness, not only of the LGUs within its jurisdiction, but its own personnel as well. The Regional Office, through the LG Monitoring and Evaluation Division, conducted an orientation on earthquake and its hazards for the regional office personnel.
In keeping with its fervent commitment to lead various Local Government Units (LGUs) in drafting their own Local Shelter Plans (LSP), the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Region 3, in partnership with Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council (HUDCC), facilitated a Seminar-Workshop and Writeshop held last February 17 – 19, 2014 and February 19 – 21, 2014, respectively at Royal Hotel, Angeles, Pampanga. Participants to the Seminar-Workshop were LGUs in the province of Bulacan, namely Angat, Balagtas, Baliuag, Bulakan, Bustos and Hagonoy which will be called again for the next phase. On the other hand, the Writeshop was participated in by LGUs, which have finished the first phase. They were the Provinces of Bataan (Dinalupihan), Bulacan (Bocaue, Calumpit & DRT), Nueva Ecija (Talavera), Pampanga (Apalit, Arayat, Candaba, Lubao & (Magalang), Tarlac (Concepcion) and Zambales (Olongapo City).
