BAGUIO CITY -- The city
government streamlined some of the procedures in tax payment and business
permit processing at the City Hall One-Stop-Shop and the Permits and Licensing
Office to ensure better service and crowd control as a precautionary measure
against COVID-19.
The City Treasury Office under City Treasurer Alex Cabarrubias and the Permits and Licensing Division of the City Mayor's Office began led by Division Chief Allan Abayao said that the new schemes were implemented strictly beginning Jan. 4, 2021.
The new schemes are:
*Assessment of business tax and bills/statement for real property tax will be available online starting January 4, 2021 through the Baguio in My Pocket (BIMP). Please visit the Official page of Baguio in My Pocket at www.baguioinmypocket.ph for the detailed instructions on how to request for said business tax assessment and/or real property tax bills/statement.
With this, Business Tax Assessment and Real Property Tax Bill/Statement will no longer be issued at City Hall. Only those that have issues, hence cannot be secured online, shall be entertained at the Treasury Office, during the schedule indicated below.
*Payment of business permit for Year 2021 shall be strictly in accordance with these schedules. For business owners whose Family or Corporate name starts with the following:
January - A - H
February - I - P
March - Q - Z and those that start with numeric or special characters.
If a business owner fails to renew the business permit during the schedule, penalties, computed starting from January 1, 2021, shall be imposed.
Tagged permit, for whatever reason, shall be allowed to pay to avoid penalty but the permit shall not be released until untagged.
*Unlike the business tax, payment of real property tax will follow no schedule and thus will be open to all.
*Contractors with bidding scheduled for January/February/March, but are not scheduled to renew for said month shall be entertained during the bidding month, provided they show the Invitation to Bid which they intend to join.
*The issuance/payment of the following documents shall be done at the barangays and will no longer be entertained at City Hall: Community Tax Certificate or Cedula; Professional Tax Receipt; Police Clearance local and abroad (payment only); Working Permit (payment only); and Residential Garbage.
*Business permit processing will be done on separate venues depending on the transactions:
1. BAGUIO CENTRAL SCHOOL COVERED COURT: Processing of applications for the following; new business, change of location, additional line of business, change of management, and establishments tagged in the eBPLS due to non-co mpliance/permits issues/violations.
2. PERMITS AND LICENSING OFFICE: Renewal of business permit, retirement of business permit and special permit. – Aileen P. Refuerzo

Mayor Benjamin Magalong wants the city prepared for the new variant of Covid-19 which is said to be a faster-spreading type.
In his first public address for 2021 at the flag-raising ceremonies at City Hall Jan. 4, the mayor said the city will focus on improving its surge capacity by increasing the bed capacity of the community isolation units it has established at the course of the pandemic to 1,000 by the end of January.
Apart from the isolation beds in the five hospitals with Covid-19 response capability, the city presently has a total of 654 beds in its six community isolation facilities namely the Baguio City Community Isolation Unit at the Sto. Niño Medical Center, the Baguio Teachers’ Camp Community Isolation Unit (Roxas Hall), the Baguio Teachers’ Camp Isolation Unit (Superintendent’s Quarters and Hernandez Hall), V Dorm 1, V Dorm 3 and Ferionni Apartments.
The mayor said the city will also continue to executive multi-source surveillance systems through the use of different analytical tools to enable the city to assess and determine the COVID-19 situation of the city.
The mayor said preparations are a must as the new variant which originated from the United Kingdom is said to be more infectious than the present kind.
Covid-19 has a reproduction number of R0 (pronounced as R-naught) or infectivity rate of 0.4 while the new one is at 0.7 which meant that it has the ability to infect more people.
Experts have not conclusively determined whether the vaccines can contain the new variant thus the need to be more careful, the mayor added.
