Jeremiah Belgica said in an online forum organized by the Presidential Communications Operations Office.</p><p>&quot;The 3 days, 7 days and 20 days are the maximum day or prescribed processing time given to agencies. But they can always go lower than that,&quot; said Belgica.</p><p>He said this policy should be followed as they push for zero backlogs in government transactions, which have been criticized for being too slow and for having too many steps.</p><p>Aside from the processing time, there must also be fewer signatures when dealing with the government to avoid the long wait and prevent corruption in the process, he added.</p><p>ARTA said it will conduct a 3-7-20 Zero Backlog Policy campaign next week to urge the public and agencies to know more about the program.</p><ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/business/02/07/22/arta-to-lead-drafting-ph-ease-of-doing-business-report">ARTA to lead drafting PH ease of doing business report</a></li>	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/business/09/20/21/arta-launches-online-resources-for-startups">ARTA launches online resources for startups</a></li></ul><div><strong>RELATED VIDEO:</strong></div><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe allow="autoplay; fullscreen" frameBorder="0" height="100%" id="ivsplayer01" scrolling="no" src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/html/iframe-src.html?iframeid=ivsplayer01&amp;key=e8c22c015ca9eafa76f1e3edfa03c603&amp;spid=3001339&amp;vid=1771153" width="100%"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more in <a href="//www.iwantv.com.ph/">iWantv</a> or <a href="//tfc.tv/">TFC.tv</a></div>
