I spotted this tarpaulin along Sucat Road across Duty Free Philippines and I thought Paranaque residents might want to check this out. The tarp says a public hearing on “Adopting the revised schedule of values of real property in the City of Paranaque” will be conducted from September 12-15, 2011.
I’m not really sure if this has anything to do with the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR). If you will recall, the BIR started to update real property zonal values nationwide more than a year ago. I do believe this will have an effect on Paranaque zonal values and real property taxes.
Anyway, I have posted below the contents of the Notice of Public Hearing which can be seen in the picture above.
Notice of Public Hearing
What: Public hearing by the Committee on Ways and Means on Draft Ordinance No. 031 entitled:
“Adopting the revised schedule of values of real property in the city of Paranaque”
Where: San Antonio Gym
When:
September 12, 2011
- 9AM Barangay San Antonio/Barangay Sun Valley
- 2PM Barangay Moonwalk/barangay Marcelo Green
September 13, 2011
- 9AM barangay Don Bosco/Barangay Merville/Barangay San Martin De Porres

- 2PM Barangay San Dionisio
September 15, 2011
- 9AM Barangay Tambo, Barangay Don Galo, Barangay La Huerta, Barangay Vitalez
- 2PM Barangay San Isidro
Why bother attending the public hearing?
If you have properties in Paranaque, you might want to check this out to see how the revised schedule of real property values might affect you. This is your chance to participate and let your voice be heard.
For example, if the real property values are raised, this would lead to a corresponding increase in real property taxes.
I just hope the revised property values would be close to actual market values of the properties in Paranaque.
If you are able to attend any of these hearings, please do leave a comment below to share what may have transpired. Thanks!

Any news on this?
@bert ,
Where you there?? Is that 300% already approved?
Hello Ice. We were able to secure a copy of the ordinance but we don’t know if it got approved. We will post a copy of the draft ordinance one we scan and upload it.
Thanks.Will wait for that. If ever it gets approved, this will increase the zonal values right?
Yes, it will increase the zonal values and real estate taxes. I already have a copy of the ordinance and it was approved, only to be stopped through a temporary restraining order from the supreme court.

Sir, are there any advantages that we can gain from the 300% increase of zonal values in paranaque? How will this affect lot owners and investors?
Hi Bert. A lot or property owner would benefit if the taxes are really used for the benefit of the City of Paranaque. if zonal values become an accurate basis for market values of properties, investors would benefit as they can say their properties have already appreciated… but this remains to be seen.

Another thing that comes to mind would be the corresponding increase in taxes (CGT, CWT, DST, etc) you will have to pay if the zonal value increases, in case you are the one who will shoulder these in a transaction involving a property in Paranaque.
