ORMOC CITY– The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Leyte 4th District Engineering Office (DEO) officially opened the Ease of Doing Business (EODB) Month 2026 during the flag raising ceremony held on Monday, May 4, 2026.
The observance, held in compliance with the directives of the Anti-Red Tape Authority (ARTA) and in support of Republic Act No. 11032 or the Ease of Doing Business and Efficient Government Service Delivery Act, was led by OIC-District Engineer Peter Scheler V. Soco.
In his remarks, OIC-DE Soco said, “As public servants, we recognize that efficient, transparent, and client-centered service is not just a mandate — but a responsibility we owe to the public.” He highlighted the practical improvements the office has implemented in recent months, including reducing delays and ensuring clear coordination with the clients, adding that “every small improvement in our work creates a real impact on the people we serve.”
