Meanwhile, San Luis said that the town of Pili has shown a tremendous business uptrend as business investors continue to express their intent to put their business venture in the said town.
“For one, we have now the on-going construction of a building for a food chain operating nationwide and the recent opening of various car companies which only shows that owners of these big businesses have full trust and confidence in doing business here -- and that would bring positive effects in their venture,” San Luis stated.
San Luis also added that encouraging taxpayers is easy if they can see where their taxes are going.
“In our town, we have improved the delivery of social services, roads were being widened and repaired, business atmosphere is good and there is an improvement in utilities – these are the proof that the people’s money or their taxes are being properly used for their own benefit. With these things, taxpayers will be stimulated to pay their taxes.” (MAL/LSM-PIA5/CamSur)
