hello business leaders,

these are some shortcomings of our government agencies, but if you want to make it a little bit easier to you you may hire an accountant or bookkeeper to process the pain task taking of getting a legal business permits to start a business.

For those who resides in Sta.Rosa Laguna with a business you may contact me at cell#09175824746 and I might help you in processing business related documets specially BIR monthly mandatory reportorial reports.

thanks and have a nice day a head!

Mga kabayan.. walang magandang balita tayong maasahan sa lintak na gobyerno ng kawawang inang bayan, hangat gutom at ganid ang mga nasa posisyon sa pera, walang katapusan na pahirap sa mga
pinoy na patuloy na gumagapang mabuhay ng marangal mag hanap buhay..I have experienced so many
disappointing situation from the simplest and top govt. official, it is so hopeless to wish that one day they may change somehow.. mga adik sa pera ang lahat ng nasa DTI at lahat ng sangay ng gobyerno, konyari may problema papers mo, un pala, pera lang ang hanap, para mapadali daw? how can we respect a license, if the license process itself is loaded with nasty shooooot… wake up crocodiles, tamaan sana kayo ng sampong kidlat..

Sakto! Nice points! I was able to experience also dealing with the government before. It was with the Register of Deeds processing transfer of titles, mortgage, etc. I think it is the home of the most corrupt officials in the government.

I don’t know but hopefully there are still hope for our country to lessen if not totally eliminate corruption.

i’m glad you finally got your certificate from DTI.

i can just imagine ang hirap at stress na dinanas mo.

baka naman naghihintay lang ng under the table fee? maraming ganyan sa government offices eh para umusad ang papel mo.

eh kaso yun na nga small business ka and you are just starting. wala ka pang pera maglalagay ka na agad. di ba, masyado namang unfair!

I agree Lee. These politicos, err, public servants should see the bigger picture. Encourage entrepreneurship by not being brazen and cutting the process , instead of discouraging small business by giving us the great run-around.

Now, when I hear about how the government’s helping “small and medium enterprises” on TV and the papers, natatawa na lang ako.:D

Mr. Z at Snow, guess what? DTI called this morning to say they are sending me my certificate soon. What a coincidence??! They finally acted, just in time for the release of this blog post

Roy, kaya nga Step 1 pa lang, mamumuti na mata mo. How much more the rest of the process? If they are like this, they’re encouraging the DVD pirates and the rest of the underground economy to flourish..including Mamang Fish Balls

Reyna, I laughed over your tales of setting up a business in the Philippines. We really should follow the US system, this time around

i hate to make comparisons pero here in the US, they do everything for small businesses to flourish and start business kasi small businesses are the biggers employers here.

in the philippines, hirap nang empleo and yet, small businesses can certainly help, kaso they are very unfriendly when it comes to small businesses, leche ingungudngud ka muna sa lupa bago ka makapag start and the government agencies are almost inutile

how true!

at nasa DTI ka pa lang, nyan! you haven’t reached BIR, Mayor’s permit, Sanitary, Fire Department (where they will sell you fire extinguisher), Zoning, etc. etc.

the business environment here is not really very ‘friendly’ for newbies

kaya nagba-blog na lang ako

I agree with Mr. Z. Shame on this government agency. ^_^
