The Cebu Provincial Board and the city councils of Cebu, Mandaue and Toledo yesterday passed separate resolutions during their regular sessions calling to abolish travel taxes being collected among departing Filipino passengers at the international seaports and airports in the country.
Tabogon Councilor and Provincial Board member Francis Salimbangon, the President of the Philippine Councilors League (PCL), sponsored the resolution in support of House Bill 3874 filed by Cebu 3rd District Representative Pablo John Garcia to abolish travel tax as it has become burdensome to the Filipino travelers.
