The city government has actually started the use of QR Code in all transactions at the city hall on Nov. 4, it was learned.
“Magkakaroon rin ng registration booth sa harap ng city hall para sa mga kliyenteng wala pang QR code, walang cellphone o mayroong cellphone ngunit walang camera o walang kapasidad na makapag-internet. Magdala lamang ng inyong government issued valid ID para sa verification ng inyong impormasyon,” said the LGU in an earlier announcement.
This developed as the city government led by Mayor Myca Elizabeth Vergara continues to battle Covid-19 through continuous mass rapid testing. Those who test positive are immediately swabbed and quarantined.
The city is currently distributing food assistance consisting 10 kilos of rice and sardines with three pieces of face shields to each of some 120,000 families here.
