It is with great admiration to see local governments take the extra initiative to implement environment friendly advocacy programs. They take time to go beyond the traditional and invest on more beneficial projects that will be of importance in the coming future.

In keeping with the Earth Day observance, we now share with you another environmental initiative, this time from the local government unit of Cagayan de Oro (CDO) City.

The City Government of CDO will soon take steps to establish a rainwater harvesting system in the flood-affected community of the Mahogany Resettlement Site in Calaan. The new system will contribute to addressing the overflow of waterways and inundation of streets in the city, as well as provide an alternative source of water for backyard agriculture and other domestic water uses. The system will also help protect aquifers by discouraging excessive communal ground water extraction.

If you are thinking of a place to put up a new business, consider Pasig City. You can get your business permit in this city in less than a day.

Pasig City has officially adopted a simplified business permit and licensing system (BPLS), which takes effect May 2013. The new system was the result of a commitment of Mayor Bobby Eusebio and his administration to make the registration process easier for new business applicants.

The new process requires only three steps - (1) submitting the application form and getting an assessment; (2) paying the taxes, fees and charges; and (3) claiming the business permit. If the application form and the required documents are complete, the business permit can be issued in less than a day. Before, it took 15 steps to get a business permit for a new business covering 10 to 74 days.
