PIA-3/BATAAN: (Headline Gitnang Luzon) Bataan Second District Rep. Enrique “Tet” Garcia, Jr. confirmed that he filed a petition for mandamus before the Supreme Court against the national government to reverse the shortfall on the Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA) shares of local government units. “I am asking the Supreme Court to compel the national government to give the LGUs their just share in the national taxes as mandated by the Constitution. The Local Government Code requires the national government to give the LGUs a fixed percentage of the national internal revenue taxes as their IRA–30 percent in 1997 and onwards,” Garcia said.
