Due to budgetary constraints and in line with the government's call to observe austerity measures, the aforecited LAs shall be served by the Regional Office/Revenue District Office nearest to the concerned taxpayer's registered address. This order shall take effect immediately.(SGD.) GUILLERMO L. PARAYNO, JR.Commissioner of Internal Revenue
