La Union upland villagers urged to pay taxes

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.

“There are a lot of delinquent taxpayers. But I told them they should settle what is due to the municipal government because what they are paying in the municipality will be given back to them through basic services such as education for their children. I want education to be a priority,” Mayor Magno Wailan said.
