ACKNOWLEDGING their contribution to the city’s development, the Laoag City government lauded the top taxpayers for 2013.

The top taxpayers were lumped into two categories: businesses in the city and those at the Laoag City Commercial Complex.

Laoag Mayor Chevylle V. Fariñas said the top taxpayers were named based on the amount of the taxes they paid as well as their promptness in paying their obligations.

The mayor stressed that there was no favoritism in the selection as it was based solely on the assessment of the City Treasury Office, which made the list from its computerized taxation system.

The top 10 business establishments are: SanFord Marketing Corporation (SaveMore), Expressions by Mart One, Fort Ilocandia Land Development Company LTD., Jollibee Foods Corporation (Bacarra Road), Jollibee Foods Corporation (Laoag Centro), McDonalds Laoag, Pepsi Cola, MongDing Construction Supply, The New Laoag Auto Supply and the Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP).

The mayor said these establishments paid millions in taxes.

The top 10 tax payers at the Laoag City Commercial Complex, meanwhile are: St. Williams Drug Corporation (Mercury Drug), Charito Caday Meat Dealer, Sumera Meat Shop, Maricel and Rebecca Meatshop, Alfenor’s Giftware, Reneliza Raquino Dress Chicken, Simeon Flores Sari-Sari Store, Rang-ay Bank, Agelita Ansagay Meat Vendor and the Tessie’s Store.

The business establishments were given a certificate of commendation by the city government during the last regular flag raising ceremony at City Hall

In a random interview with businessowners, they also expressed their gratitude to the city government for acknowledging them.

They added that it is their duty and responsibility to pay their yearly obligations as mandated by law in operating a business.


The mayor congratulated all the awardees and hopes that they will become role models to other business establishments operating in the city in paying their obligations promptly.
