MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 The Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID) has approved the establishment of Bayanihan One-Stop Shop for government agencies that are responding to coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic in the country.<\/p>\n

In a virtual presser aired on state-run PTV-4 on Tuesday, AITF-EID spokesperson and Cabinet Secretary Karlo Nograles said the creation of the Bayanihan One-Stop Shop was approved by task force on Monday night.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe recommendation of the Anti-Red Tape Authority (ARTA) for the creation of the Bayanihan One-Stop Shop for sectoral agencies involved in accreditation and logistics is hereby approved,\u201d Nograles said.<\/p>\n

ARTA, along with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Bureau of Customs (BOC), issued on April 2 Joint Memorandum Circular 01, which adopts the formation of Bayanihan One-Stop Shop for securing license to operate and to import critical commodities amid health crisis.<\/p>\n

The Bayanihan One-Stop Shop will serve as a single window for all state agencies involved in the importation of critical commodities amid Covid-19 outbreak in the country, according to the joint memorandum.<\/p>\n

Nograles said other sectoral agencies that intend to create their own Bayanihan One-Stop Shop should coordinate closely with the ARTA.<\/p>\n

ARTA, FDA, and BOC signed Joint Memorandum Circular, as they recognized challenges in the importation process despite the streamlining efforts of concerned government agencies.<\/p>\n

They noted that there is confusion on procedures for commercial importations of Covid-1 critical commodities by private entities.<\/p>\n

They added that applicants still need to transact with individual government agencies separate, even if they are part of the entire importation process.<\/p>\n

\u201cAny delay or challenge in one government agency produces a domino effect across the other import processing agencies, which becomes unduly burdensome to the importer,\u201d they said. \u201cThere is, thus, an increasing public clamor and need for more efficient inter-connected processes, particularly in the commercial importation of Covid-19 critical commodities.\u201d<\/p>\n

The joint memorandum, however, notes that the operation of the Bayanihan One-Stop Shop covers all commercial importation of sets of personal protective equipment, and other medical supplies identified by the Department of Health as \u201cCovid-19 critical commodities\u201d and need a license to operate from FDA.<\/p>\n

The imposition of enhanced community quarantine in the island of Luzon has been extended by Duterte until April 30 to stop the further transmission of Covid-19 in the country.<\/p>\n

Covid-19 infections in the country rose to 3,660, as of Monday.<\/p>\n

Nograles said all quarantine measures set by the IATF-EID would remain in force during the extension of enhanced community quarantine in Luzon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
