MANILA, Philippines \u2014 Avy Nicolas, a 45-year-old trader, used to stand in line for three hours at the Valenzuela City Hall to renew her business permit.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, however, it took her less than five minutes using the city government\u2019s newly launched \u201cPaspas\u201d Permit, a website that can generate a business permit within 10 seconds upon confirmation of the the applicant\u2019s payment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey should not be afraid of [paying for their permits] online. We Filipinos are afraid of change but it should not be that way. Once they experience the convenience, they will realize that it\u2019s hassle-free,\u201d Nicolas said.<\/p>\n

Residents applying for or renewing their business permits may avail themselves of the service through the Paspas Permit Fair which began last Friday and will run until Jan. 20.<\/p>\n

According to the Valenzuela Public Information Office, applicants may go to the city social hall lobby from Monday to Friday (8 a.m. to 5 p.m.) and Saturday (8 a.m. to 2 p.m.) instead of lining up at the business one-stop shop.\u2014Meg Adonis<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
