NBI, PSA, COMELEC opens satellite offices in Starmall Alabang

The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) opened its 72^nd satellite office, alongside Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) and Commission on Elections (COMELEC) – Muntinlupa at Starmall Alabang.

Previously located at Muntinlupa City Public Market, the NBI, PSA, and COMELEC Munti transfer to the second floor of Starmall Alabang, and still accept regular office transactions such as: NBI Clearance service, birth registration, voting registration, and many others.

National Bureau of Investigation director Atty. Virgilio Mendez graced the launching of the satellite offices and lauded the local government of Muntinlupa in bringing national services a step closer to its locals.

“The transference of these offices in places which people have an easy access, such as malls, is something to be commended, for it will not only help the people of Muntinlupa but also the nearby towns like Taguig, Parañaque and Laguna,” Mendez said.

Aside from Mendez, those present in the event were COMELEC National Capital Region director Atty. Jubil Surmieda, PSA deputy national statistician Estellita de Guzman, and former BOC commissioner Ruffy Biazon who expressed their gratitude to Muntinlupa Mayor Jaime Fresnedi in his initiative to strengthen ties between the national and local government to better serve the public.

Fresnedi said the opening of new satellite offices in malls is part of the City Government’s commitment in efficiently and effectively delivering services to Muntinlupeños.

“The local government will push strenuous effort in creating avenues for constituents’ convenience to have access on national services,” Fresnedi added.

Muntinlupa Public Information Office chief Tez Navarro said that Starmall Alabang gave free rental fee on satellite offices and the LGU’s only expenditure are generation and communication charges.

Other office which transferred to Starmall Alabang was the Muntinlupa City Muslim Affairs Office, which is the first Muslim arm of LGU in NCR.
