ANGELES CITY, April 18 (PNA) -- The city government of Angeles ranked ninth in the Cities and Municipalities Competitive Index (CMCI) by the National Competitiveness Council (NCC) in terms of government efficiency under the highly urbanized city category.
“This is a definitive indication that we have improved and are consistently improving in the delivery of basic services to our constituents,” Mayor Edgardo Pamintuan said.
This is the second time the local government was cited for its government efficiency, with the first in 2013.
“I would like to personally doff my hat to our employees in the local government for consistently improving the services we provide to the people. We were able to acquire this award because of them,” Pamintuan said.
The citation in government efficiency means that the Angeles City local government ranked favorably in the following parameters: capacity of health services, capacity of schools, police to population ratio, business registration efficiency, investment promotion, compliance to national directives, LGU tax, transparency, economic governance and the number of awards acquired by the LGU.
The nine other cities that won in the same category are as follows: Iloilo, Cagayan de Oro, Makati, Butuan, Davao, Baguio, Manila, Valenzuela and Cebu.
The CMCI has also placed Angeles as the 15th most competitive out of 142 highly urbanized cities in the country.
This city was cited for being a finalist for the most outstanding LGU for Information Technology innovations and the most successful LGU in the institutionalization of Business Permit Licensing System (BPLS) reforms.
Meanwhile, Chrysalene Cunanan, head of the Quality Management Systems of the Angeles City Local Government Unit, said that they are continuously implementing the simplification of our business permit process through the maintenance of the Business One-Stop-Shop (BOSS).
Cunanan said that Angeles City was the first to implement BOSS in Central Luzon.
