Delivery of government service is faster now
This is the message being conveyed by the government with the enactment of Republic Act No. 11032 or the Ease of Doing Business and Efficient Government Service Delivery Act of 2018.
The new law is an amendment to RA 9485 or the Anti-Red Tape Law of 2007.
It covers all Philippine government offices and agencies including local government units. The objective is to improve the efficiency of government service to the public by reducing red tape. For requests covering simple transactions, the processing time should be as fast as three days. This will surely build a more conducive business environment. You may check:

But, of course, it should be noted that some delays in government processing may be attributable to lack of documentary requirements on the part of the applicants. So, due diligence remains key in every transaction.
