We believe that e-governments should be both entrepreneurial and electronic.

We are steadfast in our opinion that government financial stability sustains public service delivery. This also empowers governments to afford complex and massive e-government projects.

Since e-government is an essential component of the information age, we believe that by helping governments achieve even just the minimum levels of informatization, the economic benefits of this era could be maximized by LGUs with the most rational expenditure.

We believe that higher efficiencies, improved integrity, and political will equate to higher tax collections. This should be the ultimate manifestation of tax reform. Instead of increasing tax rates or imposing new taxes that could bar the growth of local economies, LGUs should stimulate local economic growth and investment flows. With the most effective and efficient automated tools combined with a vigorous local economy, LGUs can truly achieve tax reform. Thus, tax collections constantly increase over time without any increase in tax rates.

With this approach, the tax burden could be equitably distributed. Honest, prompt-paying taxpayers could be adequately rewarded in terms of better service and tax discounts while evaders and delinquent taxpayers will be forced to comply. Instead of punishing the good taxpayers and rewarding the delinquent ones through tax amnesties, LGUs can achieve the opposite by pushing for higher collection efficiencies.

Truly, the best government is the one that constantly provides economic opportunities for its constituents.
