Business Post: Barangay Requirements

There are several documents a business owner should get at the Barangay Hall.

1.  Community Tax Certificate
2.  Business Clearance
3.  Business Clearance for Construction

Community Tax Certificate or Cedula.  Any individual who enters into contract agreements must have a CTC.  The fee varies, depending on one's earnings from the previous year.

Business Clearance.  After securing your Business Name at the DTI, head to the your Barangay Hall for the Clearance.  All I had to do was fill up the generic form, pay the cashier then wait for the certificate.  This document is needed for Business Permit applications at the City Hall.  It is important that you wait for the DTI Business Name approval so you won't have to go back to the Barangay Hall for name changes.  This cost me P500.


Business Clearance for Construction.  I didn't know this document existed.  Apparently, for businesses requiring renovations or construction, it is needed.  The process is pretty similar to the second document.  I don't really know what's the purpose of this document and how it differs from the Community Relations Office Clearance (CRO) you get from the City Hall.  This cost me another P500.

Every time I have to get requirements for The Business, I am glad that I decided to put it up in Marikina.  Lines are much shorter and I feel that there are less opportunities to deal with Fixers.

This is how the exterior looks like now.  This was taken on the day I took the boys to see Mama's office.

  I have always been afraid of the dark.  But growing up and becoming a parent, I have learned to overcome that (along with other fears), so that my children will not grow up fearing trivial things.  

Luxury Bags in Japan

Since almost everyone I know visited Japan this summer, I would like re-live my visit this year through this post.  This time, I will focus on luxury bags. We've heard about the usual reseller shops that house these luxury brands.  The one I can remember now is Daikokuya. I must've visited almost all reseller shops I've seen on the road.  I've noticed that these shops carry the top 3 popular ones:  Hermes, Chanel and Louis Vuitton.  There still are several pieces of Balenciaga, Valentino, Tory Burch, Celine, Gucci and Michael Kors but not as abundant as the top 3.  I guess what carries the most value are the three popular ones. If you are looking for cheap designer bags, I suggest checking out Don Quixote.  You will usually find on the topmost floors on Donki.  I think this is the one in Shinjuku. I am not so sure. You find them arranged like this or inside locked glass cabinets.  I'm sure the artisans who made these bags will tu...
