GENERAL SANTOS CITY (7 May 2015) – The city government recently bagged two awards from the Bureau of Local Government Finance (BLGF) regional office for its revenue generating efforts.
The city ranked second in the list of highest local revenue collection and third for Real Property Collection program for the entire region in the provincial and city level.
The awards were received by City Treasurer Rodilon Lacap last April 27 at Carpenter Hill, Koronadal City.
The BLGF recognized the efforts and consistent commitment of the city government which resulted to the success of Real Property Tax (RPT) collection after having obtained 104.62 percent collection efficiency against their target of P206,748,167 for calendar year 2014.
Lacap was also recognized for his wholehearted support, active involvement, exemplary performance and commitment which ensured the success of the local revenue collection which consisted of business taxes, fees and charges/economic enterprise after having collected 111.07 percent collection efficiency against the assigned total annual target collectibles of P529, 599,242.88 for calendar year 2014.
The first and second ranks for real property collection were garnered by Koronadal City and South Cotabato with a percentage collection of 156.07 and 119.56, respectively, while Kidapawan City and Tacurong City ranked first and third for local revenue collection after garnering 118.96 and 102.30 percentage of collection, respectively.
The awarding is part of the regular program of the Department of Finance through the BLGF, which has administrative supervision of local governments nationwide.
The BLGF assessed and evaluated the performance of local government units on an annual basis based on collection efficiency each every year.
Gensan was also an awardee during the previous years under the same two major classifications of collection, according to Lacap.
The recognition received by Lacap was a product of dedication to public service being an assistant treasurer and in charge of office for almost 19 years since his promotion to the treasurer’s office in 1996. (Gensan CPIO/ Sharmagne Villacastin)
