TAGBILARAN CITY, October 21 (PIA)–Gitakdang ilusad sa kagamhanang syudad sa Tagbilaran sa Enero sunod tuig ang Enhanced Tax Revenue Assessment and Collection System (e-TRACS), usa ka software nga gamiton aron mag-computerize ug magdumala sa buhis ug kinitaan sa syudad.
Kini ang gipa-ambit sa tigpamaba sa syudad sa Tagbilaran nga si Fiel Angeli Araoarao Gabin atol sa information sharing sa gipahigayong panagtapok sa mga miyembro sa Association of United Development Information Officers in Bohol (AUDIO-Bohol) kagahapon didto sa New Farmer’s Hall sa NIA Bohol Irrigation Project Site sa lungsod sa Pilar, ning lalawigan.
Matud pa ni Gabin, kining sistema gilaraw aron mapadali ang transaksiyon sa City Hall diin gitakdang ilusad kini sa Enero 2017, nga panahon sa pag-renew og business ug mayor’s permits.
Kalabot niini, may gipahigayon ang syudad nga upat ka adlaw nga pagbansay-bansay sa mga kawani sa City Hall alang niining bag-ong sistema.
Ang maong pagbansay-bansay gipangunahan ni Linda Paredes, Coordinator sa USAID-SURGE (United States Agency for International Development Aid-Strengthening Urban Resilience for Growth with Equity) project.
Matud pa nga kun mapahimotang na kining bag-ong sistema, ang kanhi 14 ka lakang nga proseso nga naglakip sa pagsumiter sa personal documents sa pagkuha og business permits, mahimo na lang nga 3 ka lakang nga proseso.
Kahinumdoman nga si Tagbilaran City Mayor John Geesnell Yap milagda sa Executive Order No. 19 niadtong Setyembre 1 nga nagmugna sa Interim Information and Communication Technology Office (ICT) sa syudad.
Isip ICT arm sa syudad, ang Tagbilaran Information and Communication Technology Office (TICTO) gitahasan sa pagpanguna sa computerization sa nagkalain-laing strategic operations sa syudad kalabot sa revenue generation, fiscal management, supply and property management, development planning and personnel ug records management.

Globe Telecom is seeking the support of the League of Vice Governors of the Philippines in building telco infrastructure in the country in line with its vision of ushering the country to become a digital nation by 2020.
Specifically, Globe is looking to rationalize the permitting process to mitigate bureaucratic red tape and other political hurdles that stand in the way of deploying telecommunication infrastructure such as cell sites and fiber optic cables. If implemented, this would enable the company to improve data connectivity at lower rates.
Emphasizing that data connectivity is a key driver of economic growth in the Philippines, Globe President & CEO Ernest Cu emphasized that a collaboration with the government in developing key telecommunications infrastructure would enhance digital capabilities of the country, enabling local industries and communities to access services and improve productivity. He pointed out that existing telecommunication infrastructure in a given locality, or the lack of it, is oftentimes a direct result of the LGU permitting environment. Securing different permits at LGU level could be very challenging, from the sheer number of permits to the different political personalities that mobile operators have to deal with, said Cu, adding that it takes at least 8 months to complete the permitting process, involving around 25 permits. “We would like to reiterate our call for a closer collaboration with the government as we set out in building a telco infrastructure that would provide world-class data connectivity even in areas outside our major cities,” said Cu.
Early this year, Globe launched a plan to create an internet superhighway nationwide. The plan aims to deploy fiber optics in 20,000 barangays by 2020 to provide ultra-fast internet access to around 2 million homes nationwide. Globe plans to deploy fiber optics in 1,000 sites before the end the year. So far, deployment of fiber optics has been completed in about 300 sites. One of the most important advances in broadband technology, fiber optics offer the fastest way to access data, providing consumers with higher download and uploads speeds, lower latency and faster internet browsing,
Globe is also maximizing the use of additional frequency assets obtained from the sellout of San Miguel’s telco assets. This is in line with its commitment to the National Telecommunications Commission to deploy about 4,500 multiband, multimode software defined radio base station equipment to 95% of total municipalities and cities in the country, for the improvement of overall customer experience in terms of the speed and reliability of mobile internet services.
To date, Globe has completed the deployment of LTE 700 in 200 sites, mostly within Metro Manila, and LTE 2600 in 900 sites, mostly within Visayas and Mindanao. According to Cu, the sites where the LTE 700 and LTE 2600 have been deployed cover major business districts, and highly-urbanized and populated areas in the country. Cu further disclosed that Globe also expanded its GoWiFi network to 500 sites that include Ayala Malls, fast food chains, bus terminals, convenience stores and other public places. He added that Globe is working on widening its WiFi coverage and plans to deploy GoWiFi services in close to 1,000 sites across the country. This will provide WiFi coverage not only for Metro Manila but also for Davao, Cebu, Bulacan, Cavite, Cagayan Valley, Cagayan de Oro, Nueva Vizcaya, Dumaguete, Zamboanga, and Boracay.
