Muntinlupa among ARTA awardees
Muntinlupa City’s innovative business registration, already recognized as an industry best practice, has received recognition anew from the Office of the President’s Anti-Red Tape Authority, or ARTA. Muntinlupa led seven other cities as the first recipients of the Accelerating Reforms for Improved Service Efficiency or ARISE Awards, which were given during ARTA’s fifth-anniversary celebration recently. “We are definitely proud of this recognition, as this is a validation of the city government’s commitment to bring quality public service to every Muntinlupeño,” Mayor Ruffy Biazon said. The city’s Business One-Stop Shop and its electronic equivalent, the eBOSS, place all business license or permit-issuing agencies under one roof. Earlier this year, ARTA feted Muntinlupa for its compliance monitoring as a benchmark for other local government units to follow. In addition to BOSS, the city also has the Business Permits and Licensing Office Single-Window Transaction, or PLO-SWiT, program in partnership with the Festival Mall in Alabang. Alternatively, business owners may also renew their license and Mayor’s permit at the BPLO in Muntinlupa City Hall, as well as online via the Business E-payment System, through the City’s official website (www.muntinlupacity.gov.ph.). The other ARISE awardees are the cities of Manila, Parañaque, Quezon City, Navotas, Marikina, Valenzuela and Lapu-Lapu in Cebu.

DILG urges LGUs to promote active transport like biking to ease traffic congestion
Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Benjamin ‘Benhur’ Abalos, Jr. on Thursday urged local government units (LGUs) anew to promote active transport and emulate the best practices of the LGU recipients of last year’s National Bike Day Bike Lane Awards. “We continuously encourage our LGUs to provide means for active transport, through the establishment of protected bike lanes, to help ease traffic congestion and promote sustainable mobility. We can take great inspiration from the LGU Bike Lane awardees who made it happen in their localities,” said Abalos. During the National Bike Day Awards: Knowledge Sharing Webinar held Tuesday, last year’s Bike Lane Awardees namely Iloilo City, Quezon City, and Mandaue City shared their experiences and the challenges that they hurdled in establishing bike lanes in their areas. Exemplary awardees Alaminos City and Pasig City and finalists Baguio City and Taguig City likewise imparted their initiatives. “We thank the LGU Bike Lane awardees for sharing valuable insights on how they were able to establish safe and accessible bike lanes and pedestrian infrastructure in their areas. This will go a long way in encouraging other LGUs to follow their example,” said Abalos. The DILG earlier issued Memo Circular No. 2020-100 encouraging all LGUs to promote and make active transportation accessible as a means to support people’s mobility within their respective areas of jurisdiction. Organized by the Interagency Technical Working Group on Active Transport (IATWG-AT) led by the Department of Transportation (DOTr), the webinar aimed to share knowledge and various information about government plans, programs, and ongoing projects for the continuous expansion of active transport networks in our country. The DILG is part of the IATWG-AT. Abalos said the DILG will continue to work closely with the other members of the IATF-TWG to ensure that the ongoing active transport project led by the DOTr can be replicated and translated to localized projects within provinces, cities, and municipalities.

Pro Patria
Some years ago, some people (others quite gleefully) announced that newspapers were dead. Then came the slew of online platforms that gave birth to what they called “new media.” Underneath all these, came the thought that, of course, newspapers are dead. Years later, and a pandemic, to boot — newspapers are still running, still the most credible source of news and information. The digital natives may never understand the reason some people still turn to the good ol’ “rag,” as it is sometimes called, whether in jest or derogatorily, but it is simply because newspapers are based on something quite basic: Journalism. Journalism — defined by the American Press Institute as “the activity of gathering, assessing, creating and presenting news and information. It is also the product of these activities” — is a craft. It takes training and experience to do good journalism. It takes experience to be a credible journalist. That is why, back then, when paper journos gathered to complain about the preponderance of bloggers in their midst, some would hit it on the mark: Why compare at all when there is really not much comparison? Simply put, broadsheets are not blogs — and never the twain shall meet. They can, however, co-exist. This is precisely the idea behind this paper’s transition from pure print media to an omnimedia organization. Embracing technology — welcoming change and not resisting the results of these changes — led Daily Tribune to traverse a path it did not know before. Over two decades ago, the newspaper was born. It then developed its own website. Then five years ago, under new management, it went into other digital platforms. Through all these, one thing that the paper retained was its commitment to the Filipino people — the core of its calling. Today, Daily Tribune has been recognized anew for its bold and fearless stance. At the 15 June awarding of the Pro Patria Journalism Awards by the Rotary Club of Manila — the first Rotary Club in Asia and the most distinguished for its “star-studded roster of members,” veritable icons in their fields — it received a trophy and plaque as Newspaper of the Year. Pro Patria means “for one’s country”. Daily Tribune President Willie Fernandez spoke about the faith it takes to take on the newspaper business with a commitment to good journalism, indeed, “for one’s country.” He said, “Many times, I have encountered people who wondered how long we would last — and I mean not just those doubting our reasons for staying, but also those who could not see our reason for being.” Like everyone who had stayed true to the call, he added, “I take pride in having stayed true to the Daily Tribune’s DNA of independence. Through four administrations, we boldly reported on issues that many times put our lifeblood at risk. “Thank you for recognizing the effort and determination it took to provide our readers with, as you so describe — ‘the fearless and consistent exposé of anomalies and irregularities both in the public and the private domain, investigating and reporting fairly and truthfully to enable citizens to be vigilant and participatory in forming collective censure and judgment.’” It is not easy, but it can be done.

Security Bank wins ‘Best for High-Net-Worth Clients’ award for third year
Security Bank Corporation was recognized anew as the Philippines’ Best for High Net Worth Clients at the 2022 Asiamoney Asia Private Banking Awards, making it three consecutive yearly wins for the bank. According to Asiamoney, “Technological disruption is a big part of the overall strategy. Security Bank constantly provides better, faster and safer digital access for clients for their portfolios and review services.” Security Bank launched its wealth management proposition in 2017 to offer clients personalized financial solutions geared toward their goals and objectives. The bank’s Wealth Management division was recognized in 2021 and 2022 for its ability to expand its client base despite economic and global events that affected the financial industry. “This year-on-year recognition from Asiamoney only proves that we are making the right investments in what matters to our customers. We excel in the personal approach we take for each client — they really feel that they are being serviced, that someone is really there taking care of their portfolio," said Binky Mirabueno, Wealth Management Head. In growing its client base and AUM, Security Bank’s wealth management business leverages on the strengths of the bank’s core businesses. These include the bank’s branch network reach and the product offerings from Treasury, Trust and Asset Management Group, stock brokerage through SB Equities, and investment banking services through SB Capital. “During the five-year period from 2017 to the end of September 2022, the private bank’s Assets under Management and customer base rose 44 percent and 40 percent respectively, on a compound annual growth rate basis,” added Asiamoney. “Service differentiation is a key to our continued recognition as 'Best Bank for High-Net-Worth Clients' in the Philippines. This recognition is proof that we are on the right track to fulfill our goal of becoming the most-customer centric bank in the Philippines,” said Executive Vice President and Branch Banking Head Leslie Cham.
