1.6 An interview with the Accounting Office personnel revealed that they did not
    adjust the balances due to the delayed submission of the certified list of amounts
    due and demandable for the current year. In fact, no receivable has been set up
    since CY 2022.

1.7 When the Office of the Municipal was clarified regarding the Certified List of Real
    Property Delinquencies as of December 31, 2024, she explained that the balances
    had already been adjusted following the enactment of Republic Act (RA) No.
    12001, dated June 13, 2024, also known as the Real Property Valuation and
    Assessment Reform (RPVAR) Act. According to the Municipal Treasurer, the
    Certified List had already deducted interests and penalties, among others. Section
    30 thereof provides for the grant of tax amnesty on real property taxes and special
    levies on real property. The amnesty covers penalties, surcharges, and interests
    from all unpaid real property taxes, including the Special Education Fund, idle
    land tax, and other special levy taxes, prior to the effectivity of the Act.

1.8 As a result of the foregoing, the RPT/SET Receivables are overstated by
    ₱22,098,576.94, computed as follows:

   Total RPT/SET Receivables per Certified List of Real Property           ₱28,801,847.93
