during the same period.

said the collection represented Php43.3 million for local tax revenue and Php49
million non-tax revenue.

hurdles, but collecting from real property taxes needs a bit more support from
the people.Tacurong
City Mayor Lina Montilla has urged cooperation from the constituents to pay
their real property taxes as soon as they are able.

lauded the City Treasury Office for a job well done but quickly reminded them
that collectors should not be satisfied with the achievement.
