@gmanews Isn’t that amount more or less sums up the amount of corruption maybe even more sa Flood Control scam alone. With the suspension of VAT at least sure na sa Pilipino napunta yung pera. Tama? Since Wala naman kayo balak maghabla ng mga ka rank ninyo 🤷🏻‍♀️

The country could lose over P320 billion in revenue if the government suspends the value-added tax (VAT), as it could affect the country’s gross domestic product (GDP), Senate Pro Tempore Panfilo Lacson said on Sunday. “Sa excise tax lang, assuming na aabot tayo sa 2027, nasa mga P200 billion 'yung impact sa foregone revenues,” Lacson told Super Radyo dzBB. “May suggestion pa na i-suspend pa ang VAT. Magdodoble iyan, papalo tayo ng P320 plus billion kung pati ang VAT i-suspend dahil sa krisis," he added. READ: gmanetwork.com/news/topstorie…

@DrTonyLeachon He was a lazy bum before he became President. He continues to be one. I don’t understand what you expect from him now that was never there before 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

⚡ State of Energy Emergency ⚡ Why the delay? Why the lack of urgency? The announcement came late, and after the signing of the order we are now sliding downhill. Instead of decisive action, we are fed another round of lip service and performative acts—like the so‑called Iran deal of passage. This is not leadership. This is negligence. 👉 Our people deserve clarity, not confusion. 👉 Our nation deserves urgency, not complacency. 👉 Our future demands reform, not recycled promises. Enough of the theatrics. Real action must begin now. #EnergyEmergency #AccountabilityNow #UrgencyNotLipService #ReformOverRhetoric

@iMPACTPH2019 But the idiots continue to vote for this “alleged” THIEF. May pending case pa sya and he is still a SENATOR! Ang Hirap ng amnesia ng mga Pilipino.

@DrTonyLeachon Different perspective: If we could sustain corrupt government officials in the billions, suspending the VAT will benefit the Fil People DIRECTLY. SA PILIPINO MAPUPUNTA ANG PERA

VAT Suspension on Fuel: Short-Term Relief, Long-Term Pain By Dr. Tony Leachon Background The proposal to suspend the value-added tax (VAT) on fuel has gained traction amid rising oil prices and public frustration over the cost of living. Advocates argue that removing VAT would immediately lower pump prices and ease the burden on motorists. However, Senate President Pro Tempore Ping Lacson has raised a crucial warning: while VAT suspension may offer temporary comfort, it carries serious long-term consequences for the economy. VAT is one of the government’s most stable revenue sources, funding essential services such as health care, education, and social protection. Reducing or suspending it would shrink fiscal space, weaken public programs, and potentially increase national debt. The Economic Impact Lacson’s statement—“Tayo rin ang tatamaan”—underscores the ripple effect of tax decisions. When VAT is suspended, the government loses billions in revenue. This loss affects the gross domestic product (GDP) and limits the state’s ability to invest in infrastructure, health systems, and social safety nets. Moreover, the distribution of benefits from VAT suspension is uneven. Wealthier households, who consume more fuel, gain the most from lower prices. Middle-class families may experience short-term relief, but the poor—who rely on public transport and consume less fuel—receive minimal benefit. In effect, VAT suspension becomes a regressive measure, favoring those who need help the least. The Better Alternative Instead of suspending VAT, the government should pursue targeted assistance and structural reforms that protect both the middle class and the poor: • Direct cash transfers to vulnerable families using existing registries such as 4Ps and Pantawid Pasada. • Fuel vouchers for transport workers and delivery riders most affected by price hikes. • Investment in renewable energy and mass transport to reduce long-term dependence on imported oil. • Fiscal discipline and transparency to ensure that tax revenues are used efficiently and equitably. These measures provide real relief without undermining the country’s fiscal health. Big Picture Thinking The VAT debate is not just about fuel—it’s about the kind of economy we want to build. A nation that prioritizes short-term comfort over long-term resilience risks repeating cycles of crisis and inequality. For the middle class, fiscal stability ensures continued access to education, health care, and employment. For the poor, targeted aid and efficient social programs offer protection against economic shocks. Conclusion Suspending VAT may feel like an easy fix, but it is a temporary solution with lasting damage. As Senator Lacson rightly warns, “In the long term, tayo rin ang tatamaan.” The government must resist populist shortcuts and instead strengthen direct aid, improve efficiency, and invest in sustainable solutions. Economic relief must be just, targeted, and sustainable—protecting both the middle class and the poor while preserving the nation’s fiscal integrity. @iampinglacson

@inquirerdotnet No one has called out the inefficiency of the distribution of the National ID. Bayad na ba supplier nyan?? Bakit sila bayad when more than half of the PH population still do not have their ID’s???? Issue of corruption nanaman yan.

@ChelDiokno Thank you Atty. Chel for highlighting this part of the proposed bill. This is like legitimizing Dynasties. Title lang na Anti Dynasty sya

Ang problema sa House version ng Anti-Political Dynasty Bill: may ipinagbabawal itong ilang kombinasyon ng magkakapamilya, pero pinapayagan pa rin ang iisang pamilya na sabay-sabay humawak ng kapangyarihan sa maraming antas. Halimbawa: may President, Congressperson, Governor, Mayor, at Barangay officials na sabay-sabay nakaupo. Ibig sabihin, sa ilalim nito, nananatili ang concentration of power sa iilang angkan. Hindi nawawala ang dynasty. Ngunit, hindi pa huli ang lahat para sa Anti-Political Dynasty Bill. Maaari pa nating pagtibayin ang House Bill. May version rin sa Senate na itinutulak ni Sen. Risa Hontiveros. Dito, mas klaro: Sa isang pamilya, isa lang ang pwedeng umupo sa national at isa sa local. At sakop rin ang Partylist bilang national position. Suportahan natin ang batas na tunay na magwawakas sa political dynasties.

Sa House Anti-Dynasty Bill, bawal ang magkapatid na Senador. Pero pwede ang pamilyang may Presidente, Kongresista at Mayor na sabay nakaupo. Concentration of power pa rin ito. Maaaring magkampihan at magprotektahan.

@inquirerdotnet Maaga pa po. Yung pauwi usually ang target nila Di ba 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

so douchey i swear he's the most overrated dude in the world

@SpencerAlthouse He deserves to be a punch line. Anyone who craps on other ppl’s art form doesn’t deserve to be in the industry of entertainment. It’s just not the right attitude 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

@CrushMajor Ang mga tanga tuwang tuwa and proud na proud mag declare ng katangahan nila no? 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

DDS content creators & online minions are focused on Leni Robredo (who has not even declared yet) dahil wala sila mapost na nakakabilib tungkol sa vp nila. Abang lang sila sa mga "surveys" dahil dun lang nila nagagawang main character si Sara 👍 The insecurity is so obvious 🌷

@nabunturanguy Ang hindi naiisip kagad ng mga tao ay May budget pa ba sya iniwan sa DOT after her term 😳😳 Tinanggal ang mga promotional pictures nya. Tinapon nga sa basurahan. Pero yung mga ginastos para sa mga yan, nakasama na rin sa basura. So who should be accountable 🤷🏻‍♀️ Kawawang kapalit

Malakas talaga si Gwendolina kay BBBM! May venue na naman ang daughter niya para ibalandra ang kanyang pagmumukha sa mga “sustainable and resilient communities,” whatever that means. Tapos na ang “show” sa mga tourist spots, ngayon ay sa mga komunidad naman. Para ring si Sara Duterte itong babaeng ito. Walang accomplishment, tapos ngayon “adviser” pa. Yung isa walang nagawa sa DepEd at OVP, tapos gusto pang mag presidente! Ilusyonadang palaka!

@PhilstarNews Now we know kung Sino Di dapat ibalik sa Senado. Mga protector ng corruption. Mga nagpapanggap ng gusto ng malinis na governance. Ang dami nila di ba. Mahiya naman tayo kung sila pa rin iboboto nyo di ba

WILL THE REPORT GET THE NINE SIGNATURES? On March 12, Senator Panfilo "Ping" Lacson was optimistic that the Senate Blue Ribbon's partial report on the ongoing flood control scandal would reach the nine signatures needed to send it to the plenary. As of writing, four senators have affixed their signatures, while three have withdrawn following a leaked draft report that recommended some lawmakers to be charged with plunder. Likewise, some personalities have also petitioned the Supreme Court to compel the Senate release the draft of the partial report. Read: philstar.com/headlines/2026…
