SANTOL, La Union: The mayor of this 5th class municipality in La Union and its municipal treasurer are urging residents to promptly pay their real property taxes (RPT) while delinquent taxpayers were asked to comply with the law. The municipality has various education programs that the budget from the Department of Education does not cover. Services under special education are the operation and maintenance of public schools, construction and repair of school buildings, facilities and equipment, educational research, purchase of books, sports development and honoraria for local school teachers. Other services funded by the RPT tax are programs for poverty alleviation, health care, environment and infrastructure. Guzmani said they have strengthened their collection by conducting tax campaigns and personally going to the villages.
