LUCENA CITY, Quezon, Sept. 10 (PNA) – Mayor Roderick “Dondon” Alcala led the opening Wednesday of the new Koopnaman Business Center of the Koopnaman Multi-Purpose Cooperative at the corner of Merchan and Lakandula Streets in Barangay 9, this city.
In his speech, Mayor Alcala told the members of the cooperative to never hesitate in enlisting his help to facilitate easy processing of their documents required in starting a business.
The mayor also encouraged the cooperative’s members to feedback to him if the city government’s employees extended friendly assistance to everybody who wants to start a small to medium business in the city.
He also informed that the reason he wanted to personally meet all the business owners who are either renewing or applying for a new business permit is to inquire if one or several staff of the departments concerned are helping or giving them trouble, to enable him to take immediate actions.
He stressed that he strictly forbids all city government employees to impose unnecessary or excessive fees, especially to new entrepreneurs starting a small business. (PNA)
