Kalibo showcases best practices to aid business

KALIBO, Aklan (PIA) --  The local government unit of Kalibo recently showcased its best practices in protecting the business sector in this capital town of Aklan in the midst of battling the COVID-19 pandemic being one of the country’s finalists of the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s (PCCI) search for Most Business-Friendly LGU Awards 2021.

During the presentation, Mayor Emerson Lachica, together with the municipal department heads, presented the various programs, projects and activities including legislations framed by the Sangguniang Bayan to ease the problems experienced by Kalibo businessmen to the judges selected by the PCCI.

Some of  the moves employed by the LGU to protect and help Kalibonhon businessmen even at the time when cases of COVID-19 in Kalibo were at their highest, was to sustain business activities even during Sundays after conferring with business establishments owners at the  Kalibo Shopping Center, Kalibo Public Market and with tricycle drivers.

At the presentation, Lachica also vocalized his appreciation to Aklanons who fully cooperated by strictly following imposed minimum health protocols, as well as abiding by his executive order allowing only 15 residents from other Aklan municipalities daily when Aklan was placed under Modified Enhanced Community Quarantine (MECQ), which caused cases of COVID-19 in Kalibo to gradually decrease.

Aside from Kalibo, 12 other municipalities throughout the country are vying for the Most Business Friendly LGU Awards this year. (AAL/VGV/PIA 6 Aklan)
