		<description>Agree ako kay Faith. Sometimes in 2006 nag-work ako sa QC. Ako nag process ng Business Permit renewal namin. Bale 2nd year pa lang ng Company plus the fact na yung product ay hindi ganun kabenta. For 2 years wala talagang income as in zero. Yung ginagastos ng company for salaries ng tao at iba pang expenses ay naggagaling lahat sa personal pocket ng mga may-ari kaya nakakasurvive pa ang operation. Pero nung mag renew kami ng Business Permit, ayaw pumayag ng Quezon City Hall na zero income. Sa mga zero income meron silang standard amount na dapat i-declare mo para lang malaki ang mabayaran mong permit fee. Tama ba naman yun? Wala kang income pero kelangan mag declare ka ng minimum amount na sa kanila naggaling para lang malaki ang bayaran mo na permit fee. Grabeee, feeling ko harassment ito. 

Sana ito ang bigyan ng attention ng mga local officials dahil ang kawawa dito yung mga maliliit na negosyante..</description>

		<description>Our company is also a victim of the abuses of Quezon City Hall. Our agency has been in operations  since 2003 as a security agency. For 3 years, we were assessed based on our income for the previous years as per  our records. Starting 2007 we were assessed  on the amount that they perceived we earned  for the previous years.  We still tolerated it because we didn&#039;t have any choice and it was affordable on our part. But for this year 2010, we are so disappointed because they assessed us for 18 million pesos where in fact we only earned less than 5 million for 2009. Ang sabi namin kahit they will examine all our books of accounts and every records that we have just to prove that  we don&#039;t earned such amount for 2009. Ayaw talagang pirmahan ng treasurer kasi dapat ang basis 18 million pesos daw and we will be paying more than  P160,000  for the entire year. Since we could not really afford to pay such amount dahil hindi naman talaga namin kinita, we just closed our business in Quezon City rather than penalized to pay said amount.  

Sana ma correct nila this kind of procedure because they are not encouraging small businessmen to do business in Quezon City.  Sana mabasa ni Mayor Belmonte ang ganitong palakad ng mga tao niya sa City Hall. They are not helping their constituents they are in fact,  pernalizing them.</description>

		<description>Sa Makati nag lagay ng satellite office lahat ng barangay kaya walang kahirap hirap dun mag renew ng Mayors permit. Parang one- stop shop andun na lahat, with complete documents at dala mo pera, after payment, the following day pwede na makuha ang mayors permit. walang padulas yon.</description>
