MANILA, Philippines — Only 19 local government units out of 1,637 fully complied with the Electronic Business One-Stop Shop (eBOSS) program which is aimed at automating and ease the process of securing business permits.
According to the Anti-Red Tape Authority (Arta) Director General Ernesto V. Perez, under the eBOSS, business permits could be secured in 20 minutes to an hour.
“At sang-ayon po sa data, out of 1,637 local government units – 630 LGUs ang nag-report na automated na sila. Pero sang-ayon po sa validation ng Compliance Monitoring and Evaluation Office ng ating Anti-Red Tape Authority, 19 pa lang po ang fully compliant,” said Perez in the Bagong Pilipinas public briefing.

LGU’s were ordered to implement the eBOSS in 2021 in a joint memorandum between Arta, the Department of Trade and Industry, Department of Information and Communications (DICT) and the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG).
