Malay council wants faster processing of business permit renewals

 The local government of Malay, Aklan wants the renewal of business permits especially for those investors in this resort island to be faster.
Councilor Rowen Aguirre, Sangguniang Bayan of Malay, said that he received reports coming from the investors that the releasing of business permits from the municipal hall is slow.
"Among the factors involved is that both the municipal government and the barangay involved are asking too many requirements which are unnecessary. I hope this could be resolved immediately," Aguirre said.
Because of this, the local council of Malay plans to issue a resolution in extending the deadline of business permit renewals for a month. The renewal of business permits had expired January 21.
One of the reasons why there is a delayed renewal of business permit is that the local government enforce this year a mandatory clinical check up for all the employees in Boracay.
Also, the council of Malay plans to review the ordinance on requirements for business permit renewal to be implemented next year.
"In this way, we hope we could prevent similar delay of processing of business permits next year," Aguirre said.
