The eBPLS is an innovative approach to fasttracking the application process of registering and renewing business permits electronically, enabling local government units to deliver public service more efficiently.

“Ito ay senyales na patuloy ang pag-unlad ng bayan ng Candaba at sa paggamit natin ng automated system, mas mar ami tayong mahihikayat na investors dahil alam nila na mabilis, malinis at maayos ang pagproseso ng kanilang business permits,” he said.

Sy, meanwhile, said lauded the initiative of the local government in partnering with different government agencies to provide better service to its constituents.

“Nitong pandemic, nakita po natin ang kahalagahan ng ICT, lalo na ng internet at computer kay itong transition na ito ay parte ng modernization of public

service sa tao, partikular na sa business sector,” he said.

Fabia, for her part, expressed her commendation to the local government for another project that is aimed at upgrading the quality of service of the local government.

Isa sa mga ninanais naming ay makita ang bawat bayan sa Pampanga na magkaroon ng eBPLS na labis na makakatulong upang mapabilis ang pagbibigay serbisyo sa mga nagnanais magtayo ng negosyo. Sa ngayon ay 80 porsyento na ng ating mga LGUs ang automated at sa paglulunsad ng eBPLS ng Candaba, ito ay nagpapakita lamang ng kanilang adhikain na lalo pang maitaas ang antas ng panunungkulan sa kanilang nasasakupan,” said Fabia.
