Call for Transparency on Discaya Couple Taxes
Authorities and lawmakers continue to demand clarity on the tax payments for two vehicles registered under the supervision of the Land Transportation Office (LTO) Assistant Secretary Vigor Mendoza II. Bicol Saro party-list Representative Terry Ridon specifically urged the official to reveal whether the Discaya couple paid the proper taxes on these cars.
Ridon emphasized that transparency is crucial, especially since these transactions fall under Mendoza’s jurisdiction. “We need a clear accounting to ensure all regulations were followed,” community leaders noted in related discussions.
Clarifying the Independent Commission for Infrastructure’s Role
Moreover, Ridon clarified his intentions regarding the Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI). He wants the commission to thoroughly investigate the matter and determine if any irregularities exist in the registration and taxation processes of the vehicles.
Local officials reported that this inquiry aims to uphold accountability within government agencies. They stressed that such steps are necessary to maintain public trust and prevent misuse of authority.
Public Demand for Accountability
Community members expressed concern over the situation, highlighting the importance of government transparency. “It is vital to ensure that public servants are held accountable for their duties,” several sources said.
Officials also pointed out that any failure to disclose proper tax payments could lead to legal consequences. This case serves as a reminder of the need for stringent oversight in vehicle registrations and tax compliance.
Next Steps in the Investigation
The investigation is expected to continue as the Independent Commission for Infrastructure gathers more information. Observers anticipate that the commission will provide a comprehensive report on the matter.
Meanwhile, representatives and community advocates urge Mendoza to cooperate fully and provide all necessary documentation to clear any doubts.
