The Civil Service Commission (CSC), in collaboration with the Partnerships for Integrity and Jobs Project Office (Project I4) and the City Government of Puerto Princesa, will conduct a three-day campaign for raising awareness for the Anti-Red Tape Act (ARTA) in Puerto Princesa City on September 26-28.
Republic Act No 9485, also known as the “Anti-Red Tape Act” (ARTA), aims to improve efficiency in the delivery of government service to the public by reducing bureaucratic red tape, preventing graft and corruption, and providing appropriate penalties. CSC is initiating the caravan to intensify awareness about the law, whose most popular goals include speeding up transactions in government frontline offices and discouraging ‘fixers’.
In a press release, CSC Chairperson Alicia dela Rosa-Bala said that they are coming up with innovative ways to raise the public’s consciousness of ARTA. “Banking on the positive feedback received during the first three legs of the Caravan, we just have to push it especially now that we have Project I4 and the City Government of Puerto Princesa as our partners,” she said.
Among the activities to be featured at the caravan is a one-stop shop for availing government frontline services, which will be comprised of nine participating government agencies, and will be held at the Atrium. There will also be a Town Hall Meeting that will include CSC Chairperson Alicia dela Rosa-Bala, City Mayor Lucilo Bayron, Project 14 Director Peter Koeppinger and European Ambassador Franz Jessen as speakers.
