Manila, Oct. 24 -- Measures are now being undertaken to improve the delivery of service among local government units, Anti-Red Tape Authority (ARTA) Secretary Ernesto Perez said.

The municipal government of Bacnotan, La Union is the sole local government awarded Thursday night in a hotel in Pasay City during ARTA's Report Card Survey (RCS) Awards 2.0, which cites local governments, government-owned and controlled corporations, and educational institutions based on the quality of their processes, payment system, client satisfaction, and scientific survey.

Perez noted that while many LGUs were included in this year's awards assessment, only one qualified, which, he said, is "an indication that we really have to work harder for the LGUs."...
