Useless DTI Satellite Office

Last January 13, I was informed by one of the employees of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) that they have satellite offices in several SM Malls in Metro Manila. Luckily, SM North EDSA has one so he advised me to file our new business name registration there since it's already 4PM when we've arrived at their Makati office.
Lalaine and I went to SM today to file for our business name registration and as early as 1230PM, they're no longer accepting registrations and renewals!
 The time clearly states that they have until 5PM to register and renew business names but why is it that at 1230PM, they've stopped accepting new ones??? No offense to the old folks, but the one manning the computer at the satellite office was a lady aged 35-45 and she types reallly sllllllooowwwww.... as in slowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww... (Reminds me of Jurassic...) According to the other people who where there at 10AM, she has just finished 4 of the 14 business names since 10AM! 4!! 1 REGISTRATION PER HOUR!
I should have just used DTI's online Business Name Registration System (BNRS) but the site has been acting strange if I registered a Business name for a corporation. The final page won't load. That's the stupd reason why I'm doing this the old fashion way.. psssh..
We called DTI and asked if the BNRS system for corporate business name is up and they said yes. We went to the nearby Netopia Internet Shop and tried to register our business name... IT TOOK ME 3 MINUTES TO FINISHED THE REGISTRATION PROCESS... 3 MINUTES! 3 MINUTES!!!!!!!! While the old geezer at the DTI's satellite office took 1 hour per name! Geez. They should force retire these people. :( DTI should also add computers to their satellite office. The one in SM North EDSA has only 1 computer and the DTI encoder shares it with the cashier. -_-
I'll be waiting 3 days for the approval of the Business Name and after that, I'll submit all of the requirements at the DTI office in Makati.
I went to PLDT to inquire about Glen's DSL service and it took me only 10 minutes... 10 minutes compared to DTI's 1 hour per name -_-

around 4 years ago, we registered a business name at the dti's satellite office behind q.c. city hall and it only took a few minutes (with complete requirements and forms). we got our info from the dti website at the time.
if only DTI's BNRS worked... tapos na sana kami.. hay.. dapat forced retirement mga oldies.
