Insurgency
blamed for
poor realty tax collection
BY ROMY AMARADO
The insurgency problem is being blamed for the poor collection of real property tax in Oriental Negros by Provincial Treasurer Danilo Mendez.
He said most of the towns with very poor collection are those in the hinterlands that are experiencing insurgency problems.
The towns of Guihulngan, Vallahermoso, Tayasan, Sta.
Catalina, Siaton, and Zamboanguita registered a dismal performance in
the real property tax collection last year.

Arroyo:
Dumaguete Seldom does it happen that the President and Vice President of the Republic of the Philippines are together in one official event. But it did happen Monday in Dumaguete City and Oriental Negros because the City of Gentle People "is the most peaceful city in the entire country," President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo said. She said the city and the countrysides of the province are gearing
towards being favorite places of cultural, tourism and sports destinations.

Airport upgrading soon President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo vowed to expand the Dumaguete City trunk line airport in the effort of her administration to entice power intensive companies into Oriental Negros. The President who was in Dumaguete and Bais cities Monday said having a bigger airport is an advantage, adding that the trunk line airport will be equipped with night landing facilities, expanded runway and developed cargo capability. The airport currently has limited facilities compared to bigger
airports like the Mactan-Cebu International Airport in Cebu province
and other parts of the country. |
