Maribel Paguican, Officer-in-Charge of the Davao City Business Bureau, urged business owners to process the renewal of their business permits which commenced on January 2 until January 31, 2025.
Paguican said that business owners will be penalized with a 25% surchage if they do not renew their permits within the prescribed period.
“Wala man gyu’y giingon ta nga gibawalan sila mag-renew kaya lang they will incur penalties and charges kung malapas na’g January 31,” Paguican said.
The Davao City Business Bureau has opened the Business Permit One-Stop Shop (BPOSS) for business owners who wish to continue their operations in 2025 in the following locations: SP Building for Poblacion District; Almendras Gym for Talomo and Agdao Districts; Gaisano Grand CitiGate Mall for Buhangin District; and Calinan Gym for Calinan District.
BPOSS is also available at the Tugbok District Treasury Office for Dabawenyos from Tugbok District; Toril District Treasury Office for residents of Toril District; Bunawan District Treasury Office for Bunawan District; and Paquibato District Treasury Office for residents in Paquibato.
Business owners from Baguio District may process their renewal at the Baguio District Treasury Office; while those from Marilog District may transact at the Marilog District Treasury Office.
The BPOSS will run from January 2 to January 31 including all Saturdays of the month and on the last Sunday, January 26.
Paguican added that there are no added requirements for renewal for the business owners.
“Wala’y nadugan na requirements,” Paguican said over Davao City Disaster Radio (DCDR) on Thursday.
Paguican also encouraged business owners to use the online platform for a more efficient and less hassle transaction.
For online transactions, Paguican said clients may process their renewal at home to avoid long queues and other risks.
