"We are definitely proud of this recognition, as this is 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 (BOSS) and its electronic format eBOSS, which places all the necessary agencies for a business license or permit in one location, was commended earlier this year by ARTA in its latest compliance monitoring as a benchmark for other local government units (LGUs) to follow. In addition to BOSS, Muntinlupa also has the Business Permits and Licensing Office Single-Window Transaction (BPLO-SWiT) program in partnership with Festival Mall in Alabang in order to bring tax payment and registration services closer to business owners. Alternatively, business owners may also renew their license and mayor’s permit at the BPLO at Muntinlupa City Hall, as well as online via the Business E-payment System (BESt), through the city's official website ([www.muntinlupacity.gov.ph](http://www.muntinlupacity.gov.ph)). The other ARISE awardees are Manila, Parañaque, Quezon City, Navotas, Marikina, Valenzuela, and Lapu-Lapu in Cebu.
