“This recognition is the outcome of the collaborative efforts of all city government offices.  We especially commend our electronic Business One-Stop-Shop (eBOSS) and Information and Communications Technology Office staff for continuously developing our digital system and simplifying all processes for Navoteño taxpayers,” Tiangco said.

“This award validates all our hard work and challenges us to do more to improve the lives of our constituents,” he added.

Navotas is commended for its full compliance to the Ease of Doing Business and Efficient Government Service Delivery Act of 2018 particularly on the implementation of the eBOSS.

Through the city’s eBOSS facility, Navoteño businesses can apply, renew, and pay for their permits within the comfort of their own offices.
