Pasilโs favorable assessment also highlighted the MTOโs strong internal control mechanisms, which support the proper accountability and safeguarding of public funds.
The MTO was likewise commended for institutionalizing its Tax Information and Education Campaign (TIEC) with a dedicated budget, providing a continuing platform for taxpayer education and encouraging voluntary and timely compliance.
The 2025 figures reflect Pasilโs progress in mobilizing local revenues, while the evaluation underscores the importance of sustaining these gains through sound treasury management, stronger taxpayer engagement, and improved local revenue administration.
