PILI, Camarines Sur, Jan. 6 (PIA) --- Allowing the power of transparency and the work of technology to take its course while realizing its vision for a more progressive Pili, Mayor Alexis San Luis recently inked a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the Land Bank of the Philippines (LBP) and Philippine Payments and Clearing Systems (PhilPaCS) for the full automation of its operations with online payment capability.
The Capital town of Pili will be the first Local Government Unit in the country that will be using the said technology – a great leap in local governance using the latest breakthrough in technology.
In an interview, San Luis divulged the benefits that the automation will bring to the LGU, particularly to its constituents.
“We are looking forward into enhancing the lives of our people and making things easier and convenient to everyone. This will enable the LGU to be competitive, transparent, more efficient in its operations and servicing of its citizens and attuned to the call of the ASEAN Economic integration.”
San Luis said that every department is connected to a server through the Executive or the automated local government suite where all the transactions will be posted in real time and can be accessed by him anytime, anywhere. This will give him up-to-date information regarding the LGU’s dealings even if he’s out of town attending other official concerns.
The online payment capability feature of the automation will make payment schemes more convenient by using its online features. Residents of Pili who have migrated to other countries but still maintain their properties in this town, can now pay their taxes without the hassle of going through the process of bank transfers or similar paying scheme. Booking of tickets and similar transactions can already be done without the annoyance of queuing in airline’s offices.
South Luzon Lending Group First Vice-President Daisy Macalino and Southeast Luzon Branches Group Assistant Vice-President Marilou Villlafranca who were both present during the MOA signing in Manila last December 17 lauded San Luis’ vision of enhancing its services and vowed to assist and provide the bank’s products and services to the LGU as its partner.
“The agreement will not just provide transparency of the LGU’s projects but also the utilization of funds, flow of inventory and even approval tracking. The automated system of the LGU is accessible via internet online and has a cross-platform capability where citizens can view the flow of processes of their municipality using their available gadget – desktop computers, laptops, tablets, and even mobile phones,” San Luis added.
It will also be advantageous on the part of the LGU since it can easily log on to the website, have their documents filed, taxes and fees assessed, and obligations paid without leaving the comforts of their home or office. Payments can be done using accredited banks and directly deposited to the LGU LandBank account.
The system also provides the efficiency of a fully-integrated system where each completed transaction is directly logged to the municipality’s treasury and logged in the accounting records in real time.
The town’s constituents can view the latest municipal resolutions since they are also published online. The documents can also be tracked for approval purposes.
San Luis capped the good news by saying that the possibilities of more efficiencies and technology advancement for the municipality are limited only by the innovation in the minds of its implementers and users. (LSMacatangay, PIAV/Camarines Sur)
