A hearing for the proposed ordinance urging all 61 barangays in this city to adopt the automated barangay clearance system and integrate with the city’s Business Permit and Licensing Office (BPLO), in coordination with the city’s management information technology and computer services (MITCS), has been set.
Taculing barangay captain Lady Gles Pallen, also Liga ng mga Barangay president who authored the proposed ordinance, said she will set the committee hearing next month after it was approved on the first reading last month.
Pallen said based on Section 9(e) of Republic Act 10032, or an act promoting ease of doing business and efficient delivery of government services, all government offices and agencies including local government units (LGUs) shall, when applicable, develop electronic versions of licenses, clearances, permits, certifications or authorizations with the same level of authority as that of the signed hard copy, which may be printed by the applicants or requesting parties in the convenience of their offices.
She added that computerization, technological improvements and innovative methods allows public services to be delivered more effectively and expeditiously, meeting the needs of the citizenry through an integrated and convenient way.
“The adoption of an automated barangay clearance [system] in every barangay is a clear manifestation of the city’s intention to promote the general welfare of the inhabitants in the barangays,” Pallen stressed.
She said, if the ordinance is approved, all barangays shall install computer software for the automation of the barangay clearance all across the city.
