IN MEMORIAM: DR. MARIA LUZ TABUENA MACASINAG 🕊️

The Albay Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Inc. (ACCI) joins the Bicol College community and the entire province of Albay in mourning the passing of our Chairwoman, Dr. Maria Luz Tabuena Macasinag, President of Bicol College.

Dr. Macasinag was more than an accomplished educator and institutional leader. She was a pillar of education whose dedication, compassion, and vision helped shape generations of students and future leaders.

As President of Bicol College, she faithfully carried forward the institution’s enduring legacy of academic excellence, leadership, and service to the community. Her recent election as Chairwoman of ACCI marked the beginning of another promising chapter in her life of service—one that sought to strengthen the vital partnership between education and the business community.

Although her time with the ACCI Board was brief, her warmth, wisdom, and commitment left a meaningful impression upon us. We deeply regret that our opportunity to serve alongside her was cut short, but we remain grateful for the honor of having welcomed her into the ACCI family.

We extend our deepest sympathies and heartfelt condolences to her family, loved ones, colleagues, students, alumni, and the entire Bicol College community.

May her remarkable life and legacy continue to inspire us to lead with integrity, compassion, excellence, and purpose.

Rest in eternal peace, Dr. Maria Luz Tabuena Macasinag. Your legacy will live on in the countless lives you touched.

— The Officers, Board of Trustees, and Members of the Albay Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Inc.

UPDATE!

ACCI Update on the Postion Paper on Proposed Revised Revenue Code of Legazpi City

The Albay Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Inc. (ACCI) had an initial and constructive discussion with the City Government of Legazpi, through Councilor Butch Lucila, member of the Committee on Ways and Means, regarding the Proposed Revised Revenue Code of Legazpi City.

ACCI is happy to note that LGU Legazpi shares the same objective as ACCI: to create a more progressive, transparent, service-oriented, investment-ready, and business-friendly Legazpi City.

In our initial discussion, ACCI and LGU Legazpi have agreed in principle that revenue growth and business growth must move together. A stronger business environment creates more business activity, and when business activity grows, gross sales also grow. When gross sales grow, City collections naturally increase as well.

ACCI also appreciates the clarification that the proposed Revised Revenue Code is not limited to business taxes alone. It also includes the codification and rationalization of other revenue sources such as rentals of government properties, use of public facilities, hospital and laboratory fees, and other service-related charges necessary to sustain public services and City operations.

ACCI recognizes the need for the City to maintain fiscal stability and ensure that public facilities and services remain sustainable, responsive, and properly maintained. We are open to reasonable, properly explained, and staggered adjustments where justified by inflation, actual service cost, and public necessity.

At the same time, ACCI continues to emphasize the importance of transparency in the assessment of business taxes, business permit fees, and other charges directly affecting legitimate businesses.

ACCI welcomes LGU Legazpi’s openness for a more in-depth discussion on the proposed revisions, especially on provisions that may affect the cost of registering, renewing, and doing business in the City.

We remain ready and willing to cooperate with the City Government in reviewing the relevant provisions, improving transparency, strengthening compliance, expanding the tax base, and supporting policies that will make Legazpi more competitive and business-friendly.

We thank LGU Legazpi and Councilor Butch Lucila for keeping the lines of communication open. This initial discussion is a positive step toward a more collaborative, data-based, and development-oriented review of the proposed Revenue Code.

Together, we can work toward a Legazpi that is fiscally stable, service-oriented, business-friendly, and ready for sustainable growth.

Partnership. Transparency. Progress.
