RMO No. 01-2008: Prescribes the regular updating of content of the BIR website/portal/knowledge base

Key points

1. Access. The website (http://www.bir.gov.ph) and portal (https://my.bir.gov.ph) are open to internal and external stakeholders and carry the information listed in Annex A. The KB is for internal stakeholders only, initially the BIR Contact Center personnel.
2. Responsibility for updates. Heads of BIR offices own the information and are responsible for timely updating. A designated CMS Editor creates articles, the CMS Approver ensures accuracy, and the CMS Publisher, normally the Chief or Assistant Chief of the Corporate Communications Division (CCD), publishes them.
3. Requests for new information. Offices send a formal request to the CCD with the information, the duration of posting, the CMS Editor’s name and preferred user name if posting is permanent, and contact persons. One-time items go in the What’s New portion, and permanent items get a new CMS template.
4. Changes in layout and personnel. Layout revisions are requested from the Chief, CCD. When a CMS Editor leaves or transfers, the head of office ensures the transfer of CMS technology at least two (2) weeks before. A new CMS Approver is reported by memorandum to the Chief, SDD.
5. Technical infrastructure. The Information Systems Group maintains the CMS templates, network, servers and registration database. A separate Order will set the policies on portal access, security and registration.

Who is affected

• Heads of BIR offices
• CMS Editors, Approvers and Publishers

Deadlines and effectivity
