QUEZON CITY, Philippines – The Quezon City government has recently launched the online registration system for new corporations, partnerships, foundations and cooperatives as part of the city’s efforts to streamline services and its initiative in ease of doing business.
Under the new service, a business owner can register his new business by first going to the quezoncity.gov.ph website and accessing the e-services portal by clicking the icon of QC eServices.
Using their valid emails, users can register and login to their accounts and proceed with the registration by filing in the required fields for the online application.
Applicants also need to submit as attachment, scanned copies of their barangay clearance, certificate of registration from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) or the Cooperative Development Authority (CDA) and evidence of authorization to use the business site to initiate the registration process.
Once submitted, the application will proceed electronically to the Business Permits and Licensing Office (BPLO) and the user can wait for the email message for update on his application.
Mayor Herbert M. Bautista said he sees opportunities for pursuing public-private partnership deals involving waste-to-energy conversion, the upgrading of public markets, and redeveloping the Amoranto Sports complex, among others.
The mayor said the waste-to-energy facility is one of the priority projects as a study conducted by the city’s Environment Protection and Waste Management Department showed that the Payatas dumpsite has an estimated operating life of only three more years.
The new facility will help minimize transportation costs and would take three years to build.
Bautista also outlined the city government plans to offer the private sector bundled PPP projects along with single PPP projects.
He said there is a plan for “a one-stop shop for food suppliers and consumers” in the Balintawak-Muñoz area, where food growers from the provinces north of Metro Manila already deliver their goods. The proposal for the area includes a wholesale market with cold storage, an abattoir and modern sanitation, as well as commercial space for banks and restaurants.
Another plan is for a multi-use commercial civic building with upgraded market in the Frisco and Murphy districts.
The mayor also said that the Amoranto Sports Complex is being considered to be upgraded for the various athletic facilities as well as the construction of a commercial building. A crematorium and columbarium with low-cost and market-price niches and chapel is also planned along Quirino Highway in Baesa.
The mayor also presented an initiative to include game development as a part of the school curriculum in which students will be contracted by companies to develop game programs and will help market the games produced. In this program, the student will have a share in the earnings from the sales of the games.
The city will also seek partners for installing solar panels in schools, with priority going to the public schools with large populations, such as Commonwealth High School and San Francisco High School.
