The Sangguniang Panlungsod Committee on Markets and Slaughterhouse chaired by Councilor Sonya Verdeflor held a public hearing yesterday on the proposed ordinance granting 20 percent discount to stall awardees or lessees who promptly pay their monthly stall block rentals, a press release from City Hall said.
The proposed ordinance is authored by Councilor El Cid Familiaran, chairman of the Committee on Government Assets. The measure states that through the passage of City Ordinance No. 407 Series of 2006, City Ordinance No. 589 Series of 2011 and City Ordinance No. 615 Series of 2012, the city has been granting market stall awardees tax relief on the surcharges, interests, penalties and arrearages on their rental obligations. It also provides that those market awardees or lessees who are beneficiaries of such ordinance are not religious or prompt taxpayers, but they have been given by the city tax relief on their unpaid market rentals, the press release said. The presidents of the market vendors associations operating at the Burgos North Public Market were present to air their concerns, the release also said. City Administrator Rolando Villamor, City Legal Officer Sarah Villamor, CLO Enforcement Unit Head Rey Demesana and Market Supervisors Portia Familiaran and Kong Heng Ting, were also present, the press release added.* Visayan Daily Star
