Jed assures no new taxes

By Lydia C. Pendon

GOOD news to taxpayers.

Iloilo City mayor Jed Patrick Mabilog assured taxpayers, especially the business sector, that no new taxes will be implemented this year.

Rather, Mabilog said he will pursue a comprehensive tax collection system to further increase revenues of the city government.

Mabilog said tax collection efficiency must be prioritized as the city is becoming one of the most populous areas in Western Visayas.

THE Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) and its attached agencies can respond to the concerns of overseas Filipino workers (OFWs).
