About 8,000 vendors would be using mobile payment system in
processing market stall renewals here in the future, a local official said
Tuesday.
Representatives from the United States Agency for
International Development (USAID) and the local government would be holding a
two-day caravan on February 23-24, 2016 in the two biggest public markets here.
Dubbed as the “e-Bayad Tour 2016,” USAID and City Hall
representatives would guide the vendors from the sprawling Cogon and Carmen
public markets on how to speed up online transactions using cellular phones.
“The e-Bayad Tour focuses on setting up a wide-ranging
collaborative events designed to build bridges between the local governments
and e-payment providers,” Eileen E. San Juan, the city’s investment and
promotion officer, said.
The mobile payment system is meant to eliminate long lines
and waiting hours, especially when settling the taxes that the local government
collects from businessmen like the market vendors.
Similar caravans are also slated within the month of
February in the cities of Batangas, Valenzuela, Quezon and Iloilo
