QC to rollout online Market One Stop Shop at Muphy Market
The Quezon City government announced on Sunday, Feb. 12, that it will start the implementation of its Market One Stop Shop (MOSS) system at the Murphy Market in Cubao, Quezon City this month.
The MOSS will initially cover the digital and simplified process of market registration and permit application for market owners, vendors, and stall owners in its eight city-owned public markets, the local government said.
Spearheaded by the Market Development and Administration Department (MDAD), the project will allow the market owners, vendors, operators, ambulatant vendors and hawkers or those who travel around the city to sell products, to apply or renew their various permits (e.g. market stall permits, application for franchise to operate), check for available market stalls, submit required documents, or pay fees conveniently through the QC e-Services website (https://qcservices.quezoncity.gov.ph).
Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte led the launching of MOSS at the Quezon City Hall on Jan. 31.
MOSS, which is part of the city’s good governance and ease of doing business initiatives, will also be integrated with the city’s Business One Stop Shop (BOSS) to streamline the overall business permit process.
“Inconvenience and inefficiency caused by the traditional manual market management system affects the productivity of market vendors. Thus, the city has initiated MOSS which digitalizes all these processes, shortens waiting time, and eliminates the hassle of going physically to City Hall,” Belmonte said.
“In addition to efficiency and convenience, the new system addresses corruption and the ‘palakasan’ system. Sa pamamagitan ng MOSS, para ka lang nag-rereserve ng ticket sa sinehan kung gusto mong magkapwesto sa palengke o temporary vending site (Through MOSS, getting a market stall ofr temporary vending site is just like reserving a ticket at the cinema),” she added.
MDAD Officer-in-Charge Ma. Margarita Santos said the city government aims to register a total of 12,000 stall holders within the 8 city-owned public markets, 32 private markets, 124 approved temporary vending sites for hawkers, and 46 talipapas.
“Data gathered through MOSS is very vital for the city because this will be used as the basis for the establishment of additional public markets and vending sites if needed. MDAD is already looking for possible locations that can be utilized as vending sites,” Santos added.
