BIR exec lauds Bataan folks




BALANGA CITY, April 3 (PIA) - Bataan folks are really tax conscious people. They know their tax obligations and pay them promptly without much hassle.

This was how newly-designated Revenue District Officer Roberto S. Bucoy described Bataan people in so far as paying taxes to the government is concerned.

Bucoy said that Bataan is a booming province and its economy is stable what with ever growing number of business establishments in the province more particularly in Balanga City.

The BIR official who just came from his previous assignment in Zamboanga city says that Bataan is one of the two provinces in Central Luzon that is dubbed as most outstanding in so far as tax compliance is concerned. The other province is Tarlac.

Business analysts and experts say this is largely attributed to the adoption by the provincial government of several economic policies best applicable in this part of the region. Moreover, there’s this phenomenal rise in business and investment confidence in Balanga City with its wide ranging economic reforms that appeared to have a domino effect on other neighboring municipalities.

Credit is also due to the local chief executives of these municipalities for their own strategic initiatives to steer the local economy thru the bearish years, according to some people in the know.

“Bataan is already a billionaire province, in fact this year's collection goal is more than P1 billion and we are confident this target would be realized soon," asserted Bucoy.

Just last March, the BIR Bataan launched a massive tax collection campaign through a parade from the city's Plaza Mayor de Balanga all the way to provincial capitol where a tax drive's slogan making contest was conducted among college students from the province's colleges and universities.
