By Philippine Information Agency (PIA 8)
April 12, 2007

TACLOBAN CITY, Leyte  –  The Bureau of Internal Revenue Regional Office in Eastern Visayas headed by its Regional Director, Atty. Estrella V. Martinez, has a reason to smile these days.

This is so because adjudged recently as the Most Outstanding Revenue District Officer of the Philippines (Category B) for the year 2006 is Christine Mijares-Cardona, head of Revenue District No. 89 based in Ormoc City.

Mr. Benjamin A. Mari, chief revenue officer II informed PIA that District Revenue Officer Cardona who received a plaque of recognition, was chosen from the field of 15 revenue district officers nominated from among the 119 Revenue District Offices nationwide.

The prestigious award, Mr. Mari said, is a sincere recognition for Revenue District Officer Cardona’s distinguished performance and qualities manifested in her able and successful stewardship of her revenue district for attaining the highest percentage collection efforts against targeted collection goals for the years 2004, 2005 and 2006.

Ms. Cardona was officially nominated and endorsed by Bureau of Internal Revenue Regional Director Estrella V. Martinez.

Her being highly nominated by the Rotary Club of Ormoc City, speaks well of her good rapport with the business community in Ormoc City.

Ms. Cardona was handed her award during the awarding ceremony held at Manila Hotel in Manila on March 30, 2007.

BIR Regional Director Martinez expressed optimism that the award received by Revenue District Officer Cardona will serve as an encouragement and an inspiration for the other Revenue District Officers to work harder and better for the best interest of the Filipino people and in line with the Administration’s thrust of good governance.
