+CABARROGUIS, Quirino, April 26 (PIA) -- Internal revenue collection in this province for the month of March reached P13,843,789.04, higher by 19.53% in its P11,581,592.23 collection during the same quarter last 2011.
-TCABARROGUIS, Quirino, April 24 (PIA) -- The members of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan here approved a resolution strongly supporting the Act Providing for the Welfare of Barangay Tanods, amending for the purpose, section 393 of the Republic Act No. 9160 otherwise known as the Local Government Code of 1991.
+Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) Revenue District No. 16 assistant revenue district officer Vivian Tarectecan has attributed the increase to their continuous tax campaigns to the continued cooperation of the taxpayers, tax agents and the collaborative efforts of the revenue officials to pursue its thrusts for a strong republic.
-The resolution states that the Barangay Tanod Welfare Act aims to encourage and recognize the barangay tanods in the country for their selfless effort to maintain the peace and tranquility in their communities by granting them benefits in the form of Christmas bonus, insurance coverage, free medical care, and other benefits due them.
+But Tarectecan stressed that they still need to work overtime as they are still short of P671,210.96 to be able to meet their goal of P14,515,000.00.
-Under the Act, Section 393 has been amended as follows: all duly appointed members of the lupong tagapamayapa, which shall number not more than 20 in each barangay, shall be granted insurance or other benefits during their incumbency, chargeable to the barangay, city, or municipal government which the barangay belongs.
+In their collection performance report, it stated that there was a decrease in the collection of percentage tax because the Quirino Provincial Irrigation Office (QPIO) was already merged to the Addalam River Irrigation Project, and there were no more contracts allocated to QPIO.
-A barangay tanod who has rendered continuous service for at least one year in the barangay shall, during his incumbency be entitled Christmas bonus equivalent to at least one half of what the punong barangay receiving, as mandated by law or ordinance.
+For the month of April, the BIR-RDO collection has reached to P11.8 million, still short of P1.2 million to meet their P14 million goal.
+Tarectecan, however, expressed optimism that they will be able to meet their goal as they are still receiving tax payments from late filers. (TCB-PIA Quirino)
-Other benefits include insurance coverage equivalent to three-fourths of that received by the punong barangay in accordance with RA 6942, free legal services from government lawyers for criminal and civil cases filed against him, arising from acts committed in the performance of his duties, even after the term of the barangay tanod and until the final disposition of the case.
-Each barangay tanod is also entitled to 50 percent discount in tuition and matriculation fees for his legitimate and legally adopted children not exceeding four in any state colleges and universities.
-Preference in the availment of and/or membership in barangay livelihood development projects shall also be given to them whether these projects are initiated by the national or the local government units.
-As of press time, the Act is still pending with the Committee on local government unit. (TCB-PIA 2)
