As of September 2025, the city’s total revenue collection already reached Php 12,053,369,244.53. This is 12.29 percent higher than the Php 10,734,355,403.24 revenue collection during the same period last year.
“The city’s increase in collection Is attributable to business taxes and real property taxes, which constitute 46.63 percent and 18.15 percent of the city’s total collection from local sources,” Bantiding said.
He added that the CTO is optimistic the city will be able to exceed its expected revenue collection of Php 14,346,445,829 by the end of the year.
Bantiding also assured Dabawenyos that they will ensure taxes are utilized for the improvement of government services and benefit Dabawenyos.

It is our commitment that the contribution of all Dabawenyos, which we know are fruits of hard work, shall be utilized for the improvement of government services and will be translated for the benefit of all the residents of Davao City,” he said.
