Tabuk City, Kalinga – Taxpayers in Kalinga are given the chance to win P2,000 to P20,000 through the ‘May Pera sa Resibo’ raffle promo of the Provincial Treasury Office.

Local Treasury Operation Officer III Reinalda Gasmeña informed this during the radio program of the Office of Governor Engr. Ferdinand B. Tubban aired on September 21, 2021.

Gasmeña explained that the promo aims to help and at the same time encourage property owners and professionals to pay their dues, despite the economic challenge brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to the treasury officer, the promo started in the first week of January and will run until the year ends on December 31.

The grand raffle draw will be held on January 2022. Prizes at stake are P20,000 for the grand winner, P15,000 as the second prize, and P10,000 for the third prize winner.

Other than the top three prizes, the Provincial Treasury Office will draw 100 more tickets where each will get P2,000 as a consolation prize.

Qualified taxpayers

Gasmeña disclosed that all taxpayers who paid and who are about to pay, regardless of the amount, are qualified. One receipt, she said, is equivalent to one ticket.

“Per municipality, adda box da tapos iyumay da nu ag-draw nu January. Kada agbayad ti tax payer, dumawat kayo apo, regardless of amount nu manu diay binayadan na, entitled suna ti maysa a raffle ticket,” said the local treasury officer.

“For 2021, entitled to penalties dagiay han nakabayad until June 30, 2021 after that ma-penalty dan,” she added.
