Kawit LGU Fails to Remit Taxes to BIR, Exposing Graft and Corruption

Kawit, Cavite – A recent report from the Commission on Audit (COA) has uncovered shocking lapses in the financial management practices of the local government unit (LGU) of Kawit, Cavite under the administration of Mayor Angelo Aguinaldo, son of Armie Aguinaldo, a mayoral candidate in the 2025 elections.

The report reveals that the municipality failed to remit over P3.3 million pesos in taxes to the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) as required by regulations.

According to the COA findings, the municipality was mandated to pay the owed taxes within 10 days of the end of each month.

However, the LGU repeatedly failed to meet this obligation, instead accumulating a backlog of unremitted funds dating back to the first term of Mayor Aguinaldo.

“This is a clear violation of the BIR regulations, which are in place to ensure timely payment of taxes and prevent incurrence of surcharges and penalties,” the COA report states.

The issue of unpaid taxes and unremitted funds is especially concerning in the context of ongoing efforts to combat corruption in local government.

Failure to comply with tax remittance laws can enable the misappropriation of public funds and undermine public trust in the integrity of municipal institutions.

In response to the COA’s findings, the report demanded the municipal mayor to take immediate action to remit the outstanding taxes to the BIR.

The COA also advised the municipality to implement stronger financial controls and accountability measures to prevent similar breaches from occurring in the future.
