We, at the Quezon City Government, fully support all initiatives at easing the entry of more businesses in the Philippines • But it must not unduly restrict the local government’s power to regulate businesses for public good and protect public welfare • It must look at the overall regulatory environment for doing business --- the LGU is just one of many government institutions mandated by law to take charge of various aspects of doing business Many national laws exist to regulate business startups, some provisions may be adding undue red tape – the LGU has no choice but to follow these, unless these are amended or repealed • Government must have systems that are able to take full advantage of technology – IT systems must be compatible to be able to efficiently link data and process with one another
