Positibo si Pangulong Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. na magiging produktibo ang Republic Act 12000 at Republic Act 12001 na nilagdaan ngayong hapon at tutulong sa pamahalaan na maabot ang isang mas matatag at progresibong Bagong Pilipinas.
Paliwanag ng Pangulo, sa ilalim ng Negros Island Region Act, layong pagsamahin sa iisang rehiyon ang Negros Occidental, Bacolod City, Negros Oriental, at Siquijor, upang magiging episyente ang pagbababa ng serbisyo sa rehiyon.
.”This union is long overdue and makes very practical sense, especially in the Negros Island where people are located on one island but are governed under separate administrative regions. So for decades now, Negrenses have endured the rigors of sea travel, unnecessary expenses, bureaucratic red tape, inefficiency that this arrangement has brought, especially when there is a need to urgently access government services from regional centers on other islands.” — Pangulong Marcos.
Tutugunan rin nito ang hindi pantay na paglago at funding
ng dalawang probinsya.
“Equally glaring is the uneven growth and disparity of funding between the two provinces which share many of the same natural resources and industries such as sugar, tourism, renewable energy.” — Pangulong Marcos.
Habang ang Real Property Valuation and Assessment Reform Act naman ayon sa Pangulo ang babago sa real estate landscape ng Pilipinas.
“The law is in line with our 8-point socioeconomic agenda, wherein we put primacy in the pursuit of bureaucratic efficiency that is driven by transparency, digitalization, and the practice of innovative work processes in the civil service.” — Pangulong Marcos.
Layon ng batas na ito na paigtingin ang tax collection system ng bansa sa real properties, upang makapag-generate ng mas maraming kita, trabaho, at pamumuhunan sa iba’t ibang bahagi ng bansa.
“No longer will we rely on the outdated valuation system. We have now instead the new improved RPVARA (I’m sure we will find a shorter way to pronounce that), a law that streamlines and enhances the real property valuation and assessment system through a uniform real property appraisal that is compliant with international standards.” — Pangulong Marcos. | ulat ni Racquel Bayan
