Red tape refers to excessive bureaucracy and administrative procedures that can hinder the efficiency and effectiveness of government processes. It can result in delays, inefficiencies, and obstacles to achieving goals or delivering services.
The Anti-Red Tape Act (ARTA) is a law in the Philippines aimed at cutting bureaucratic red tape and streamlining government processes to make them more efficient and citizen-friendly. It mandates government agencies to simplify procedures and remove unnecessary requirements to improve public service delivery. ARTA also sets deadlines for processing various transactions to prevent delays and improve overall service quality.

The term "red tape" doesn't come literature, but from history. In the 1300's documents/letters were sent by hand so a red tape was wrapped around the folded document/letter and sealing wax was used across the opening of document. When it arrived to the person who was getting it and they found the seal broken they knew that someone had read the letter/document. That is why today the term is used that things are tied up in "red tape."
"Red Tape" is not red, or even tape - it is a colloquial expression meaning "sluggish, plodding bureaucracy". To repeat: It is just an expression - it has nothing to do with "tape", red or otherwise.
