Trece Martires: Turns into Virtual City
Writer: Maribeth A. Yambao
The City Government of Trece Martires Headed by Mayor Gemma Lubigan in partnership with the Multisys Technologies Corporation, the Head Business Development Mr. Kirk Esconili, recently signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) for the development of Smart City System that happened on October 9, 2020 that was witnessed by Atty. Kim Moral, Councilor Aldrin Anacan, Acting City Admin Mr. Cabaya, and Vice Mayor Bobby Montehermoso.
In preparation for the New Normal, the system is a contactless transaction thru online system that will ensure more efficient, fast and convenient business dealings with the different departments of the city government.
“It’s a convenient way to transact with constituents and at the same time, to prioritize the safety of employees as well as the customers."- Mr. Glenn Agetano (Head of ICT Office).
The smart city system phase 1 offer services that includes the processing of Business Permit, Business Tax, Real Property Tax, Birth Certificate, Cedula, Local Civil Registry, Occupational Rents and Health Certificate, and other payments.
Payments can be made thru over-the-counter via Bayad centers, banks and online banking with affiliated banking establishments of BDO, BPI, and Metrobank, via digital payments like Paymaya and GCash, and debit or credit card payments. The proposed date of launching would be on January 2021.
The Phase 2 of this project will possibly include the processing in city health office, sanitary permits, medical assistance, birthday cash gift, financial assistance and other services that could be credited directly to the residents thru the system and all other possibilities will be explored to maximize the utilization of the system to better serve the people.
The ICT office of Trece would be creating an Infomercial to help them disseminate the new system that they will integrate in processing and paying taxes. They will provide kiosk and will assign personnel that would assist people in filling up forms. They are planning to have the processed papers delivered right in the door step of the customers as it will be convenient and there would be less interaction. The website can be used 24/7, there would be no lunch breaks or cut offs.
There is no fund used from the city government in launching this project, Multisys deployed the system free of charge but in very transactions there would be a convenience fee that would be deducted to the customer. This project was already proposed before COVID-19 hit the Philippines and it was prioritized as a response for the new normal. Mayor Gemma Lubigan’s goal is to serve the city with good governance and transparency; she wanted to let everyone feel the growth of their city from the bottom.
"We are looking forward to the launching of this project, we are hoping that a quicker, effective service and the assurance for the people of Trece. Little by little we would be an innovative city and athe use of effective technology for our city.” said Mayor Lubigan. (Ruel Francisco/Trece Martires City Information Office) Ms. Kristine Buhain
