ARANAS Chairman COMMITTEE REPORT Submitted by : Committee on Ways and Means Subject : "REQUEST OF THE HON. CASIMIRO A. YNARES, III, M.D. FOR GRANT OF AMUSEMENT TAX EXEMPTION ON THE OPERATIONS OF YNARES CENTER FOR THE YEAR 2009" Strongly recommending the adoption of this report and the appropriate action by the Sangguniang Panlungsod Submitted to : Hon. LORENZO M. ZAPANTA City Vice Mayor/Presiding Officer Date : February 09, 2009 Findings/Conclusions/Recommendations: Referred to and standing before the Committee on Ways and Means for appropriate action is the request for amusement tax exemption on the operation of the Ynares Center by the Honorable Governor of Rizal through a letter dated January 19, 2009 to the Hon. City Mayor Danilo O. Leyble, and after careful study and due evaluation, this committee has the honor to report the matter back to the Sangguniang Panlungsod with the following findings, conclusions and recommendations: 1. Ynares Sports Center has brought such a prestige to the City of Antipolo being a facility, which is occasionally used for activities covered by national media and somehow introduced the name of the city to millions of people nationwide. 2. It has been instrumental to the increase in number of visitors and pilgrims in this city not just during selected festivities but almost constantly which eventually increased the income of the city and the business sector, elevating the economic standing of our residents. ICAcTa 3. However, the operational expenses of the center exceed the revenue generated by the center for the reason that the prices of entrance tickets are so minimal in amount for the benefit of the Rizaleos, which includes our residents. Hence, payment of the amusement tax shall add up to its expenses and shall therefore result to increase of entrance fees, affecting obviously its clients and might be detrimental to the purpose of the center for our inhabitants. 4. Granting the amusement tax exemption to the Provincial Government of Rizal for the aforementioned facility shall not only alleviate the plight of the province and will manifest our support to it but will be likewise beneficial to our city and its inhabitants. It is therefore the recommendation of this committee to grant the requested amusement tax exemption by the Provincial Government of Rizal for the operation of Ynares Sports Center for the year 2009. I move for the adoption of this committee report. IcHTED (SGD.) COUN. NIXON R. ARANAS Chairman COUN. RONALD R. BARCENA (SGD.) ATTY. JESUS A.Y. HUERTAS, JR. Vice-Chairman Member (SGD.) COUN. ALEXANDER S. MARQUEZ (SGD.) COUN. MARINO B. BACANI Member Member Republic of the Philippines PROVINCE OF RIZAL Pasig City OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR January 19, 2009 HON. DANILO LEYBLE City Mayor City of Antipolo Dear Mayor Leyble: Greetings! Once again, this Office would like to express its most sincerest gratitude to the Sangguniang Panlungsod of Antipolo City for granting amusement tax exemption to the Provincial Government of Rizal for the operation of Ynares Center during the past years. cDEHIC The Ynares Center, despite the prestige it brings to our Province and the City of Antipolo, is operating on the meager budget coming from the Provincial Government. Due to unavailability of plantilla positions, the maintenance personnel and officers working therein are detailed personnel coming from the different departments/offices of this Provincial Government. Income generated during the previous years of operations were not sufficient to defray its overhead expenses as well as the cost of maintenance. Payment of the amusement tax of 30% on gross sales receipts would naturally cause the untimely increase in the basic prices of tickets and rentals, to the detriment of the prospective clients of Ynares Center majority of whom are Rizaleos and henceforth adverse to priority programs of the Provincial Government as well as to the general welfare of the people of Rizal. In view thereof, we wish to respectfully request from the Sangguniang Panlungsod of Antipolo City for another grant of amusement tax exemption on the operations of Ynares Center for the year 2009. Anticipating your favorable consideration on the above request. Very truly yours, (SGD.) CASIMIRO A. YNARES III, M.D. Governor
