Tagb pushes for contactless transactions


City Mayor John Geesnell Yap II issues an executive order outlining the rules to facilitate contactless methods in engaging with various transactions with City Hall.


As everybody knows, the Coronavirus pandemic has caught us all by surprise. People are forced to stay home to avoid getting infected by the disease. But life has to go on and public service cannot be stopped.


Thus, the city government has been finding innovative ways to deal with the health crisis, hence, the move of Mayor Baba for contactless transactions.


The City General Services Office under the leadership of Dr. Chris John Rener Torralba, is the lead office implementing the e-procurement system. This e-procurement system is a 24/7 service that automates the preparation of the Purchase Request (PRs) for goods and it allows easy tracking of the progress of PRs.


In this connection, all PRs will be filed and created online by the designated Supply Officer of the different departments and offices of the City Government of Tagbilaran.


The offices through their Supply Officer can follow-up the status of their PRs online. The PRs will then be reviewed, printed and processed by the CGSO. In the next phase of the system, it will be linked to asset management so that goods will be immediately tagged for inventory prior to release. The e-Procurement system is hosted at the CGSO website
http://www.gsotagbilaran.com.


Supply Officers of the different departments and offices of the City Government can conveniently prepare their Purchase Request (PRs) for goods online at their convenient time and place. The Offices through their Supply Officer can follow-up the status of their PRs online. The system has proven to be most useful during the community quarantine since the Supply Officers can still remotely prepare and submit their PRs without physically submitting it. The department head and supply officer can receive a text message and e-mail alert regarding their PR.


The City Government is on the go in finding innovative ways to serve the public despite the pandemic.
