NAGA CITY: The CamSur Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CSCCI) recently
launched the first "Tabang sa Negosyo Award" recognizing local
government units (LGUs) in the province that promote models of good governance
and business friendly programs.
CSCCI President Solomon Ngo said the award program initiated by the
local chamber complements President Benigno Aquino III’s call for a
strengthened Public-Private-Partnership (PPP).
CSCCI has partnered with the Department of Interior and Local
Government (DILG) and the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) in the
implementation of the program, including provision of technical assistance for
LGUs to come up with concrete programs that promote trade and investment
opportunities in their respective localities and encourage fairness and
competitiveness amongst the local market players, thereby improving the quality
of life of their constituents.
Ngo said that the chamber, as one of the voices of the country,
continues to introduce programs that encourage good governance and transparency
among local government units.
“Tabang sa Negosyo" award program also encourages accountability,
transparency and efficiency in the conduct of day-to-day operations, and
promote competitiveness that will improve the quality of life of their
constituents.
"We have also observed that stringent requirements for business
registration and slow process for licensing, notably for small-and-medium
enterprises (SMEs’) are the main factors that affects the growth enterprises
and contribute to the cost of ventures in the municipalities of CamSur,” Ngo
said.
Aside from strengthening the ties among the local entrepreneurs in the
province, the program is also in seamless harmony with the government‘s efforts
to streamline their procedures in compliance with R.A. No. 9485, also known as
the Anti- Red Tape Act.
The program with the theme “ano man na ikararahay kan tawo, ikararahay
kan negosyo,” (whatever is good for man, is also good for the business), has
two award categories: Level 1 for 1st to 3rd class municipalities and level II
for 4th to 6th class municipalities in the province.
Special citations may also be provided to LGUs that have outstanding
programs or initiatives in business.
Winners from both categories will receive P100,000.00 each plus plaques
of appreciation.
Nomination is open to all local government units yet to be qualified,
duly accomplished nomination form and the required attachments were to be
submitted on or before June 30, 2013 to the CSCCI secretariat.
Deadline for the submission of Bid Book/Write up was on July 5, 2013.
Any clarification/inquiry on the rules of the Award should be forwarded
to the CSCCI secretariat, Camarines Sur Investment and Trade Center, Panganiban
Drive, BMC Road, Naga City with email address camsurchamber_ph@yahoo.com and
Telephone Number 473-3168. -- Bicol Mail
