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.
