The local government of Quezon City launched an eco-friendly design for business plates.

In a Facebook post, Quezon City Mayor Joy Belmonte said the new business plate design will be hard to replicate. It also features a QR code that can be scanned to verify the validity of the business permit.

The mayor said that the eco-friendly business plates will be issued first to nano businesses that are beneficiaries under the Pangkabuhayang QC program.

Moreover, nano businesses - those with capital of P50,000 and below - are encouraged to register with the city.

Belmonte said that registered nano businesses in the city can receive P10,000 in financial assistance if affected by fires, floods, and other disasters.

They are also exempted from business tax and regulatory fees, excluding the Bureau of Fire Protection Fire Safety Inspection Certificate, which has a minimum fee of P500.

Registered nano businesses are also entitled to subsidized water analysis testing from the Quezon City Health Department for food-related businesses, said Belmonte.
