STORY
This Is Where Your
Taxes Go!
To date, the City Government of Tagum, through Mayor Rey T. Uy,
the city officials and employees, have already conducted Pulong-Tulong
activities in 21 barangays of the city. During these barangay visitations,
vital information about how the LGU operates, including intensive
medical-dental services are brought right at the doorstep of the barangay
concerned. Aside from the objective of bringing the government
closer to the people, the Pulong-Tulong also aims at making the people
understand why the City Government has to collect what is due to the LGU
in the form of taxes from real property, residence certificates and other
forms of taxation it imposes upon the people, including the humble balut
vendor, to fund its various infrastructure and socio-economic projects.
