The National Competitiveness Council (NCC) is
encouraging businessmen to answer the online Business Permits and Licensing
System (BPLS) Customer Satisfaction Survey at http://www.competitive.org.ph/.
This online survey will enable the NCC to
evaluate the satisfaction level of businessmen with regard to the renewal
process for Business Permit in their city or municipality and to help Local
Government Units in the Philippines improve their services.
The BPLS aims to reduce the cost of doing
business by streamlining through adoption of one form, reduced steps, days and
signatories for new application and business renewals thus resulting to more
efficient business environment both at the LGU and national levels.
The National Competitiveness Council was
formed last October 2006 as a Public-Private Task Force on Philippine
Competitiveness by virtue of Presidential Executive Order No. 571, amended to E.O. no. 44 by the present
administration to address the improvement of the country’s competitiveness from
the bottom third of competitiveness rankings to the top third by 2016.
The council is chaired by Trade and Industry
Secretary Gregory L. Domingo for the public sector and co-chaired by Mr.
Guillermo M. Luz for the private sector.
