Reporter's notebook - march 31 - Anomalya sa kalsada?


Anomalya sa kalsada?



ANOMALYA SA KALSADA?

In 2001, the Road User's Tax started to be collected from motorists who registered their vehicles. Every year, around 7 million pesos was collected by the National Road Board, the agency in charge of maintaining the good condition of Philippine roads. In the past eight years, more than 50 billion pesos was collected making the Road User's Tax the third largest source of revenue in the country.

However, many roads remain in poor shape. In fact, bad roads were said to have contributed to the increase in road accidents in recent years.

Some congressmen say that the Road User's Tax is not spent correctly. They even suspect that the money is being used by unscrupulous public officials.

Where does the money really go?
