A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING HONORABLE CITY MAYOR JAMES GORDON, JR. TO ENTER INTO A MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT (MOA) MADE BY AND BETWEEN THE DEPARTMENT OF TRADE AND INDUSTRY (DTI) REPRESENTED BY ITS SECRETARY, PETER B. FAVILA AND THE CITY GOVERNMENT OF OLONGAPO REGARDING THE DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PHILIPPINE BUSINESS REGISTRY (PBR)

WHEREAS, various government agencies and some private organizations in the Philippines, in the furtherance of their mandates and functions, maintain their own systems and databases and implement their own processes related to business registration;

WHEREAS, one of the strategic measures for global competitiveness in the 2004 – 2010 Medium Term Philippine Development Plan (MTPDP) is to reduce red tape in all government agencies;

WHEREAS, pursuant to Executive Order Nos. 557 and 587, the Philippine Business Registry (PBR) will facilitate a seamless transactional environment for business registration and development across the application systems of various government agencies;

WHEREAS, the agreement shall benefit the City of Olongapo by further enhancing business-related services to its constituents;
