San Juan City Mayor Francis Zamora called the claim of Senator JV Ejercito of “political vendetta” due to the alleged non-payment of terminal benefits of retired employees of the local government as “untrue and preposterous,” saying that the city government had already released 122 claims to the Estradas’ appointees and hires in San Juan.
“There is no reason for the Senator to claim that this is politically motivated given that in the 2022 Elections, he asked for my support when he ran for Senator. Binigay ko ang aking suporta, tinulungan ko siya at bilang pag endorso, isinama sa aming sample ballot. Walang dahilan o basehan para isipin niya na may away politika kami na magiging dahilan para ipitin ko diumano ang TLB ng mga tao nila ,” he said.
Zamora said whether political foes or allies, he looks at them equally as far as services and benefits due them are concerned.He said that on May 11, 2022, a Warrant of Distraint and/or Levy in the amount of P235,293,316.38 was issued to the City Government of San Juan for then Mayor JV Ejercito’s failure to pay tax dues worth P 65,954,947.90 for fiscal year 2008.
The BIR also assessed the city government for underwithholding purchases of goods and services from various contractors and suppliers of Final Value Added Tax in the amount of P44,742,099.45, and P15,392,495.84 for Expanded Withholding Tax, and another P27,024,208.49 for failure to withhold tax on compensation. Land purchased for the year 2008 totaling P8,000,000 was assessed for Documentary Stamp Tax totaling P431,472.00.
