The Quezon City Business Permits and Licensing Department (BPLD) has added a new voluntary feature to the QC Biz Easy online platform, allowing business owners to specify their identity. This update was announced as part of the city’s ongoing commitment to inclusive governance during Pride Month. This initiative directly impacts local businesses and the LGBTQ+ community by making government services more visible and accessible. It represents a practical step towards recognizing diversity within the city’s business ecosystem, which can foster a more welcoming environment for all entrepreneurs. The new feature on the QC Biz Easy platform is entirely voluntary for business owners to use. Businesses interested in this feature should log into the existing QC Biz Easy portal to explore the new option.
