Talisay CH eyes upgrade of tech system

CEBU, Philippines - The Talisay City government is contemplating entering into a memorandum of agreement (MOA) with any competent computer company that can provide an integrated and comprehensive computerization program.

Councilor Doroteo S. Emit, chairman of the committee on labor, trade and industry, said upgrading the technology system and adopting an integrated and comprehensive computerization program is an impending need to raise the standards and competency in the delivery of public service.

“The technology system currently adopted by the different departments and sections in Talisay City LGU, namely, the city treasurer’s office, accounting office, budget office, the human resource office, city assessor’s office, permits and licenses section, local housing section, city engineering office, and the general services office are undoubtedly outdated,” Emit said.

According to Emit, a comprehensive computerization program providing linkages to all the departments concerned will ensure efficient document tracking, effective payroll system, improved processing of business, building, fencing, and other permits.

Emit said the program will promote good governance and increasing revenue collection efficiency.

In today’s council session, Emit wants to authorize Mayor Johnny V. de los Reyes to enter into a MOA with any reliable and competent computer company that can provide an integrated and comprehensive computer program for the city government. (FREEMAN)
