BIR Caloocan RDO Transfers to New Office

August 6, 2009

After years of occupying the 5^th Floor of Aurelio Building in Grace Park, Caloocan, Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) Revenue District Office No. 27-Caloocan has moved to its new home along the famous EDSA at the heart of Caloocan City’s business district. The new location is at 140 Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA), Caloocan City (near Caltex Station and fronting Barrio Fiesta). The new BIR building likewise houses the different offices of Revenue Region No. 5, including the Office of the Regional Director.

Coordinating with the Office of the Regional Director and Caloocan City building officials, Revenue District Officer (RDO) Maridur V. Rosario, assisted by Assistant RDO Shirley A. Calapatia, initiated the transfer which took place last July 22, 2009 with the support of the 100-strong men and women of the said district office. RDO 27 occupies the ground, second and third floors of the building while the upper floors house the different regional offices.

Conveniently located at the ground floor are the frontline services such as the Taxpayers Service Section, Officer of the Day, One Time Taxpayer (ONETT), Filing and Payment, e-Lounge and Taxpayer’s Lounge. Taking into account the measures spelled out in Revenue Memorandum Orders 15 and 16-2009, such as the establishment of a taxpayer service area and other front line services that would enhance the delivery of fast and efficient service to its taxpayers pursuant to the BIR’s Handang Maglingkod Project (HMP), RDO Rosario assured higher authorities the delivery of first-rate taxpayer service under her jurisdiction.

The second floor houses the Regional Conference Room, Administrative, Collection, and Document Processing Sections of RDO 27 while the third floor is occupied by the Offices of the Revenue District Officer, Assistant Revenue District Officer and the Assessment Section.

The new BIR building will be inaugurated on August 7, 2009. Top BIR officials and other guests have been invited to grace the blessing of the structure in line with the celebration of the 105^th founding anniversary of the tax agency.
