MAYOR BENG CLIMACO thanked the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) for citing Zamboanga City and recognizing the efforts of the local government in streamlining business processes.
PCCI has awarded the local government with a “special citation” during the 45th Philippine Business Conference and Expo held recently at the Manila Hotel.
City Administrator Apple Go represented the local government during the awarding ceremony. She said the special recognition exemplifies the commendable initiatives of the Climaco administration towards good governance reforms that promote trade and investments and significantly contribute to local economic development.
The PCCI also noted the efforts of the local government which resulted to a significant increase in new business enterprises in Zamboanga.
From 2018-2019, Zamboanga City posted a 74% increase in the number of approved business permits for new business applications and also recorded a 182% increase in the number of approved business renewals.
Climaco said the local government is pursuing business-friendly strategies aimed at further improving business sector confidence. Zamboanga City is also a finalist in the 2019 Business Friendly LGU Award.
The local government was nominated to the Most Business-Friendly LGU award by the Southern Philippines Deep Sea Fishing Association headed by its President Jaydrick Yap.
Just recently, Commissioner Aileen Lourdes Lizada, of the Civil Service Commission, also praised Climaco during an unannounced inspection to check on compliance of civil service rules in government offices.
Lizada, who also visited other regions in the country, noted a number of “best practices” at City Hall during her group’s inspection. One of them is the wearing of identification cards by civil workers with Climaco as the best example.
She also said the Public Assistance Desk at the main entrance of City Hall is very responsive to the public and the presence of an institutionalized human resource department at City Hall, among others. (Zamboanga Post)
