HLURB.QM.0001 Quality Manual Effectivity:

Administrative Order No. 161, series of 2006, Institutionalizing Quality Management


System in Government, was issued to effect actual improvements in public governance in
recognition of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9000 series which
ensures consistency of products and services through quality processes. In 2007, Executive
Order No. 605, Institutionalizing the Structure, Mechanism and Standards to Implement the
Quality Management Program, mandates all departments and agencies of the Executive
branch, including all Government-Owned and/or Controlled Corporations (GOCCs) and
Government Financial Institutions (GFIs) to adopt the ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management
Systems (QMS) as part of the implementation of a government-wide quality
management program.

An ISO Certification strengthens measures already taken under the Anti Red
Tape Act (ARTA), R.A. No. 9485 (02 June 2007). It will mean that the processes
adopted in the delivery of services meet international standards and with the ISO
Certification, clients can expect reliable, predictable and dependable services
resulting in increased client satisfaction.

The Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board (HLURB), declared under
Executive Order No. 648, s. of 1981 as amended by Executive Order No. 90, as the
planning, regulatory and quasi-judicial instrumentality of government for land
development, realizes the need to implement the above-mentioned statutory
mandate to further strengthen the on-going efforts to streamline bureaucratic
procedures and hasten government processing and issuance of permits, clearances,
licenses and certifications.

Thus, HLURB initiated a project for the development of a Quality Management


System (QMS) Certifiable to ISO 9001:2008. The project covers the core processes
of the Board: Planning Assistance, Regulation and Adjudication (PaRA). The project
aims to provide the necessary interventions to facilitate the establishment of ISO
9001:2008 Quality Management System for HLURB.
