APPROVED ON THIRD AND FINAL READING | TAX RELIEF FOR EARTHQUAKE-AFFECTED GENSAN RESIDENTS

GOOD NEWS, GENERALS!

A measure providing economic relief and tax support to General Santos City residents and businesses affected by the June 8, 2026 magnitude 7.8 earthquake has been approved on third and final reading.

Authored by City Councilor Atty. Franklin M. Gacal, Jr. and Councilor Richard โ€˜Ricโ€™ Atendido, the ordinance establishes a post-earthquake relief framework designed to help affected taxpayers manage their obligations while providing additional support as they recover from the impact of the disaster.

Among the key relief provisions are:

Waiver of penalties for business taxpayers on unpaid taxes, fees, and charges, provided that the applicable taxes are fully settled within the prescribed period.

Waiver of interest on unpaid 2026 Real Property Tax (RPT), while interest incurred before January 1, 2026 remains due and payable.

Tax waiver and moratorium based on the extent of damage for affected taxpayers whose properties or business inventories sustained damage, subject to assessment and determination of the extent of damage.

Six-month extension of workersโ€™ permit validity, giving workers in the city additional time and easing the need to immediately secure a new permit.

The measure reflects the city governmentโ€™s continuing efforts to ease the financial burden on earthquake-affected taxpayers while supporting the recovery and revival of local economic activity.

For General Santos City, recovery is not only about rebuilding structures; it is also about helping families, workers, property owners, and businesses regain stability and move forward.

Tulong sa mga biktima ng lindol. Tulong para sa pagbangon ng General Santos City.

๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ญ Saludo sa lahat ng ating mga bayani!

Ngayong National Heroes Day, hindi lang natin inaalala ang mga pangalan sa ating mga aklat. Inaalala natin ang kanilang tapang, sakripisyo, at pagmamahal sa bayan.

Ang kanilang kabayanihan ay paalala na ang tunay na paglilingkod ay hindi nasusukat sa laki ng ginagawa, kundi sa malasakit at kahandaang tumulong para sa kapwa.

Maraming salamat sa ating mga bayani. Ang kanilang kabayanihan ay patuloy nating dadalhin at isasabuhay. ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ญ

42nd Regular Session | Sangguniang Panlungsod

Despite the challenges brought by the recent 7.8 magnitude earthquake, the Sangguniang Panlungsod remains steadfast in its commitment to public service.

I join my fellow members of the Sangguniang Panlungsod, where we continue to craft policies and measures that will help General Santos City recover and move forward after the recent 7.8-magnitude earthquake.

A significant part of the session is the presentation of Former Governor Migs Dominguez, who appeared before the City Council to share proposed measures aimed at accelerating our cityโ€™s economic recovery.

Padayon ang serbisyo. Padayon ang pagbangon.
Together, we will build a stronger, more resilient General Santos City.
