TOPIC: OMB's Accreditation

Napanood nyo po ba yung news yesterday regarding sa MOA between the City of Navotas and Optical Media Board (OMB). Regarding po 'to sa re-application ng business permit sa area ni Navster for next year para sa mga PC shops and alike services na sumasaklaw sa kapangyarihan ni bestfriend OMB.=) Ang siste, is if you haven't completed and acquire the accreditation from our bestfriend, ala kang permit to operate next year. Mukhang unti-unti na 'atang malulusaw ang cafe-net industry <starting> sa bayan ni Navster. If these succeeds, malamang malapit na rin po sa inyo..

Well, wag po sana magalit at mag-react ng masama sa mga nasabi ko.. 'di ko lang po kasi talaga ma-take ang batas na pinaiiral sa atin eh.. Ang batas nga ba talaga ay para sa kanyang constituent or para sa sariling pang-interes lamang at sa mga ganid na tututut.... 'Di ko kasi mawari at maisip kung ano at saan ang kanilang basehan sa mga 'to. Anyway, ito ay sariling opinyon ko lamang po.. sana makapag-share din po kayo dahil maaring sa ibang araw pati kayo ay apektado na rin.

Ok sabi nga ng ibang tao everything has a silvery lining. yes, sabihin na natin itong move na ito ng OMB will bring new w heart aches on the part of the internet cafe owners but i doubt if it would kill the industry.

for a long while sir ixowner have been telling us that this day would come and yes it is coming soon. if doods could do it in navotas what would prevent him from imposing it on other municipalities and cities as well.

i believe this is just a start and he would not be satisfied with navotas alone. those who fear that the industry would collapse because of this then they have to think again. for one it is already proven with the sales that we are reporting right now that the gaming model is already obsolete. those who are using this model are having a hard time. as what i have said before we have to add additional services and products to compliment our business model.

we still have alternatives. kung ayaw nilang pagamit ang windows bakit hindi ba natin magagamit ang open source na software? ibahin lang natin ang business model. bakit hindi ba pwedent maging isang business center ang isang internet cafe. dagdag ka ng room para sa mga opis for rent per day or per month para doon sa hindi maka afford.

simple things lang pero may dating kaya don't worry much about it we still have alternatives hindi ang buhay natin nakasalalay kay microsoft. mayroon pa

The list of requirements mentioned by the TS are those which an I-Cafe owner must submit to OMB in order to secure the permit to legally use an optical media writer in accordance with R.A. No. 9239 and OMB M.C. No. 2005-002. Depending on how you will negotiate/justify, some items may be deleted at the option of OMB. Our ICA was able to narrow down the list when we negotiated with them early this year.

nice po sir xicowner....

i think its a nice move by the local government. kailangan lang talaga ng kamay na bakal dyan para mai-implement ng husto. ayaw nyo nun, kung legit ang shop nyo, wala kayong ikakatakot na mahuli pa, at mauubos na ang mga kabuteng shop na ni isang orig na OS at business permits walang maipakita. you can now dictate the price, pwede ng mag 30 petot o 40 petot per awar. ang sabi nga eh, matira ang matibay, at legit.

ok lang siguro yan pero sana kung sakaling mahuli ng omb ung mga icafe bigyan nila ng pagkakataon ung mgacomputer shop na makapagbago to legit ones.. hindi ung basta basta nila kukunin ung units especially ung mga bagong tayo and 20 below units..

Forwarded lang po sakin ng isang friend, galing daw po sa thread ng isang site...

As explained during the orientation seminar

This is a pioneering project initiated by the City Mayor thru his letter to OMB chairman Edu Manzano

A government to government project.

Based on some information stated by atty. Cyrus of OMB

OMB accreditation is not cumpolsory to all Internet cafe.

But having the Accreditation sticker posted on your I cafe, It will be easier for them to distinguished the compliant I Cafe.
The accreditation cost is very minimal and the requirements are not so heavy compared to those who are applying for CD burning ang selling of optical media products.

The only reason that it will be required for Navotas I Cafe is because of the Memorandum of Agreement between the two Govt. agencies.
As it was a pioneering project, for sure they they (OMB) will continue this as a nationwide campaign if it comes out with a possitve result.

Sang-ayon po ako kay Sir Rage.wala ka talagang dapat ikatakot kung legit ka..

Kahit medyo mahirap at matagal i-provide yung mga documents..natapos at nai submit ko din lahat yan..
