The Quezon City Business Permits and Licensing Department (BLPD) has launched an electronic book (e-Book) called “From Long Lines to Online” which contains automated information and various processes implemented by the city government.
“We have always envisioned this great city founded by Manuel L. Quezon as a pioneer in many aspects. Blessed with abundant resources, the city is poised for a paradigm shift – that of making its local government services and transactions fully automated in many aspects,” Mayor Joy Belmonte said.

“As the world moves to the digital age, business transactions and processes have also moved online. It is only logical that the BPLD ensures that the lines burdening our business owners are reduced, if not totally eliminated, as we gradually migrate to a simple, more accessible online platform,” BLPD department head Ma. Margarita Santos said.
Among the automation programs currently being implemented by BPLD are the Online Unified Business Permit Application System (OUBPAS) and the Online Occupational Permit System (OOPS).
The OUBPAS, which was launched via the QC government’s official portal, allows the application of new business permits and renewal or amendments of existing licenses and short-term/special permits.
“We welcome BPLD’s OUBPAS as it helps entrepreneurs and companies to transact their business efficiently without having to deal with red tape and fixers,” Mayor Belmonte said.
The information and data gathered by the city government from the issuance of Occupational Permit to private employees is also being used by the national government agencies such as PAG-IBIG, PhilHealth, Social Security System (SSS), and Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) to compare and validate the number of their members with the total numbers of workers.
