observe i-tax in NegOr
BY MARICAR ARANAS
Tanzanian local government officials will be in Negros Oriental February 12 to 16 for a study tour on the implementation of the Integrated taxation in the province.
The government of Tanzania has fully implemented the I-tax in the national level, and they are interested in adopting it in their localities, provincial information officer Adrian Sedillo said yesterday.
I-tax is a system introduced by the German Technology Corporation, aimed at enhancing local revenue collection.
| IN BRGY. LOOC Dumaguete City Mayor Agustin Perdices said he will locate a site for residents living on top of a creek in Brgy. Looc, who have been given 30 days to vacate the area. Perdices said the residents had been building their houses on top of the creek, which alarms the local government as they may affect the sanitation of water at the city pier. City officials who inspected the area discovered that the residents there have no septic tanks, and their wastes are released directly to the creek, and into the sea. |
| ‘Ideal police force The ideal police force does not enforce the peace, it inspires the community to create peace. That was what Silliman University President Ben Malayang III said at the 17th Philippine National Police recognition day in Dumaguete recently. Malayang added that the ideal police is not a force that exists outside the community it serves. It derives power from the community and it exists for it. It wields not the power of the gun but the power of goodwill and trust of the people that it protects. |
