Hannah L. TorregozaSenator Sherwin Gatchalian has called on local government units in the country to establish their own Business Permit and Licensing Office to help encourage investments and support economic growth.By establishing a BPLO, the senator said LGUs create a one-stop shop for business-related transactions, reducing the burden on entrepreneurs and making government services more accessible and systematic.
“This bill is a concrete step to ensure that each LGU has the ability to meet the needs of our citizens, especially investors, in a more efficient and orderly manner,” the lawmaker stressed.
