Manila LGU opens BOSS in City Hall

THE Manila city government launched on Monday the Bagong Maynila Business One-Stop Shop (BOSS), which aims to reduce beginning next year the process in issuing business permits, and the time in securing them to one hour.

On the sidelines of the BOSS’ soft launch in Manila City Hall, Mayor Francisco “Isko” Moreno Domagoso said that before, it would take the city government between eight days and a month to issue a business permit to an applicant, and that business owners had to take eight steps before securing that permit.
