Buwis Mo ang Ating Progreso is a tax collection program of
Binangonan, Rizal.
The
personalized, innovative, and gently coercive approach resulted
in a dramatic increase in revenue collection from P14 million
in 1991 to P47 million in 1994. It promoted tax consciousness,
sought public support and participation in revenue collection,
and persuaded evasive and delinquent taxpayers to give their
rightful share in community building. It did not involve enactment
of new or increased tax rates.
Evident
improvement in basic services and participation in community
development were the benefits taxpayers enjoyed. Significant
funds were allocated to help in the hospitalization expenses
of indigent patients and to serve depressed communities.
