This is more than half of the total number of registered businesses in the city which is at 40,000.Lawyer Jared Limquiaco, the head of the BPLO, told CDN Digital that the one-stop shop at the third floor of the SM City Cebu helped in the easy processing of the requirements for these businesses.
However, the BPLO office at SM City Cebu will continue on in a smaller different area inside the mall since the business sector has expressed a liking to a mall-satellite office. The main office at the financial center will also be able to accommodate more clients for the BPLO including new time registrants at a more conducive place for transaction.
