When it comes to celebrating milestones, the 6th year anniversary of the Anti-Red Tape Authority (ARTA) was no ordinary event. And guess who showed up to add some extra flair? None other than Gov. Peter “Sr. Pedro” Unabia! The excitement in the air was palpable as everyone gathered at the ARTA headquarters to mark this significant occasion.
Gov. Unabia’s presence was more than a ceremonial gesture. It was a powerful statement of commitment to the principles outlined in Section 17 of Republic Act No. 11032 on Ease of Doing Business and Efficient Government Service Delivery Act of 2018. He wasn't just there to smile for the cameras; he was there to reinforce the importance of efficient governance and service delivery.
The celebration was led by ARTA Director General Se. Ernesto V. Perez, along with a crew of local officials who all share a common vision. The recognition of Misamis Oriental as one of the provinces actively implementing ARTA guidelines was a highlight of the event. This kudos was not only a nod to the hard work done but also a challenge to keep pushing forward.
Provincial Administrator John Venice Ladaga took the stage during the flag-raising ceremony. He made a compelling call to action, urging for an updated citizens charter and the establishment of Public Assistance Complaints Desk (PACD) in every office within the capitol. His words were a rallying cry for continuous improvement and better public service.
One of the standout promises during the anniversary was the commitment to establishing electronic Business One-Stop Shops (eBOSS). This initiative is a game-changer for local businesses and entrepreneurs. No more endless paperwork and long queues; eBOSS aims to streamline processes and make life easier for everyone involved. It’s a crucial part of Gov. Unabia’s PAGLAUM development agenda, specifically under the letter ‘P’ for participatory governance.
The idea is simple but powerful: make government services more accessible, efficient, and user-friendly. By leveraging technology, Gov. Unabia and his team are setting a new standard for what effective governance should look like in the 21st century.
As the event drew to a close, there was a sense of optimism and shared purpose among all attendees. Gov. Unabia’s participation wasn’t just about celebrating the past six years of ARTA’s accomplishments. It was about looking forward to a future where government services are not just efficient but exemplary.
With leaders like Gov. Unabia and Director General Perez at the helm, the dream of a more responsive and efficient government seems not just possible, but inevitable. Here’s to more years of progress, innovation, and, of course, celebration!
