Sotto cited that the government’s amnesty program is available for real property tax; idle land tax; business tax; driver’s licenses confiscated by the Traffic and Parking Management Office before October 19, 2019; and tricycles impounded by Tricycle Operation and Regulatory Office (TORO).
The Pasig mayor said payment for driver’s licenses will remove the 2 percent daily penalty for traffic violators. This will allow delinquent motorists to pay basic fines and a maximum penalty of 10 percent.
