Manila Bulletin
|October 8, 2025
The City of Manila has successfully collected P160 million in unpaid taxes from contractors involved in various flood control projects, with the funds now being redirected to support key education and social programs, Manila Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso announced.
The announcement was made during the 13th City Government Directional Meeting on Monday, Oct. 6, where Domagoso reported that roughly 300 flood control projects across the city were discovered to be operating without proper coordination or permits, and had outstanding tax obligations under Manila’s local tax code.
In response, the city government issued Statements of Account (SOAs) to notify the contractors of their liabilities.
He stated that the initiative led to the recovery of a substantial amount of back taxes.

Lolo once more
I am extremely proud of what I have accomplished in life. I have won and lost, been up and down, but there is nothing that even comes close as my greatest triumph, the capstone to my life: my family. Cynthia and I have been together as a married couple for 50 years, more as life partners. We have seen Camille, Mark and Paolo become the very best of what they can be. And now, we have four grandchildren we can dote on and spoil.
