SAN Carlos City is among the 21 local government units identified by the Department of Finance for its Local Governance Reform Project (LGRP).
The LGRP which is aimed at enhancing RPT administration, seeks to strengthen the revenue generation capacities of LGUs and is eyed to serve as a launchpad for more efficient, effective, and equitable public service delivery.
Finance Secretary Benjamin Diokno, during the signing on May 11 of the agreement for LGRP among the Bureau of Local Government Finance (BLGF), the pilot LGUs, state universities, and colleges as well as other government agencies, said that they expect that agencies and LGUs will forge strong linkages and harmonize data for the purpose of having a reference for the development of uniform market values.
The agreement formalizes the partnership among the BLGF, LGUs, the Bureau of Internal Revenue, and the Land Registration Authority as data-sharing partner institutions for the development of Real Property Information Systems and Computer Aided Mass Appraisal.
Also included among the pilot LGUs is the province of Negros Oriental.
The LGRP targets to boost LGU revenue generation by strengthening the operating environment of RPT generation and management through better policies and institutional structures.
