careless

i paid my parents' real property taxes at the quezon city hall yesterday.  it was my first time to do so.  my dad used to be the one to do it.

i noticed typographical errors in two of the tax bills given to me at the assessment window:

1.  one had a P instead of an R in my mom's name.

2.  the other had an A instead of an O in the street name.

i pointed them out and was told i would have to request corrections at the other building.

at the other building, i was given a Tax Declaration Application & Routing Form (Correction/Updating) with the following documentary requirements:

"- TCTs/CCTs -> authenticated copy from the original or certified copy from RD (Mandatory requirement for correction of OWNER/S NAME)
- Certified true copy of latest tax declaration (Mandatory requirement)
- Realty Tax Clearance or present original and photo copy of current year full payment (if necessary)
- Affidavit of No Improvement (for vacant lots)
- Letter-request of the owner specifying requested correction and purpose for which the document will be used
- Owner's authorization/special power of attorney (for other parties requesting)
- Picture of property (3" x 5" colored) - frontage/facade"

ugh!

i kinda feel like withholding the salary of the employees who made the typos at this point...  >: (
