Five gov't satellite offices open inside Subic Bay Freeport Zone

Mall goers in Subic Bay can now do business while shopping as five national government agencies recently opened their satellite offices inside the Harbor Point Mall.

This was made possible after the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG), Social Security System (SSS) and PhilHealth signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the Ayala-owned mall for the maintenance of their offices.

Said move primarily aims to provide clients with easier and more comfortable access to various services of the government.

During the MOA Signing and ribbon-cutting, DTI Regional Director Judith Angeles expressed her gratitude to Harbor Point for enabling DTI and other government agencies to prove their commitment in bringing their services closer to people.

"I hope that by next year, the DTI office here can also expand and be enrolled as a Negosyo Center,” she added.

Aside from Angeles, DILG Regional Director Florita Dijan, SSS Assistant Vice President Vilma Agapito, and Harbor Point Deputy Operations Manager Derrick Manuel also led the ribbon cutting.

Serving as witnesses to the MOA Signing were Subic Freeport Chamber of Commerce Chairman Emeritus Danny Piano and Director Cynthia Paulino. (CLJD/MJLS-PIA 3)

It’s great to see the expansion of government satellite offices like the one mentioned in this article. Making essential services more accessible, especially in high-traffic areas like malls and commercial hubs, truly helps reduce bottlenecks and improves service delivery for citizens. We’re seeing a similar shift in the Philippines through the rollout of the PhilSys registration centers, which aim to bring identity services closer to every Filipino. You can learn more about this initiative at national id.gov.ph.

Bringing services closer to the people—whether it's health certifications or identity systems—is a smart move toward a more efficient and citizen-friendly government. The Digital National ID, for example, allows Filipinos to access public and private sector services with ease, saving time and improving overall convenience. Initiatives like these are steps in the right direction for a more connected and responsive governance model.
