Leyte Rep. Richard Gomez has sought a House probe on the “misalignment” in the National Tax Allotments (NTAs) of local government units and the funding requirements for full devolution of specific national public services.
Leyte Rep. Richard Gomez has sought a House probe on the “misalignment” in the National Tax Allotments of local government units and the funding requirements for full devolution of specific national public services.“Mahalagang busisiin ng Kongreso ang isyung ito nang sa ganun ay mabigyang linaw ng national government kung saan kukunin ng ating mga local leaders ang pondo para sa pagsalo ng ibang serbisyong pang-nasyonal ,” he said in a statement on Tuesday, Nov. 29.
In filing the resolution, Gomez said that “the calculation of NTA, as mandated RA 7160, is not aligned with the costing of devolved functions” under RA 7160 and EO 138, which was issued on June 1, 2021 following the Supreme Court’s Mandanas-Garcia decision. “The increase in national tax allotment for LGUs, as a result of the Mandanas-Garcia ruling, is not guaranteed to fully cover all devolved functions” under EO 138 and RA 7160, Gomez asserted.
“Ayusin po muna natin ang lahat ng usapin at saka po natin pag-usapan uli ang full devolution,” Gomez added.
