                    [Summary] => STA. CRUZ, Laguna — Despite a verbal directive from President Arroyo the other day, Gov. Teresita "Ningning" Lazaro refused to scrap the road user’s tax slapped on delivery trucks entering the province.


Lazaro said the P500 yearly payment of road user’s tax was based on the provisions of a 12-year-old provincial ordinance designed to boost the income of the province.


She argued that the road user’s tax is just a minimal amount being collected from delivery trucks and vans based in the province.

                    [Summary] => President Arroyo ordered yesterday the removal of all "checkpoints" in the South Luzon Expressway and other national roads that are not under the supervision of Interior and Local Government Secretary Angelo Reyes.


The President issued this directive after receiving complaints verified by government officials themselves about the alleged extortion and pernicious activities at these checkpoints situated on major highways and roads all over the country.
