OBJECTIVES OF MC 2020-17
(a) Provide time and cost-efficient procedure for the processing of application
through the use of OPMS, reducing red tape and expediting transactions in
every EMB Regional Office (EMB-RO);
(b) Harmonize the process flow in the application for PTO in every EMB-RO
using a secured central server to be managed by the DENR-EMB Central Office,
through its Statistics and Information System Management Section (SISMS) and
the Regional Planning and Information System Unit (PISMU) of the EMBRO; and
(c) Strictly implement the Zero-Contact Policy under Rule V of Republic Act No.
