Vice Ganda, Catriona Gray: Pay taxes, demand more from gov’t
The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) launched its "Buwis na Tapat, Tagumpay Natin Lahat" campaign, recognizing celebrities like Vice Ganda and Catriona Gray as top taxpaying media personalities.
Vice Ganda and Catriona Gray used the platform to encourage citizens to pay taxes and demand accountability from the government, particularly amidst controversies surrounding the national budget, including the transfer of P60 billion in PhilHealth funds.
The BIR's shift from publishing a list of the top 500 taxpayers to an alphabetical list per revenue district office was noted, contrasting with previous years of greater transparency.
Vice Ganda questioned the public's awareness of government agencies like the BIR and the Commission on Elections (Comelec).
