@kampuputdiaries indeed. Metro Manila residents have been shielded from VAT on water but utilities in the provinces still charge VAT on water etc.

@dmmsanjuan This is the republican goal, right @SpeakerMcCarthy ?

@0TENG @SpeakerMcCarthy Reality says yes.

@dmmsanjuan Dapat ang gawin tax the rich😉

@Anetta_11_ agree. Tax on wealth.

@dmmsanjuan High taxes, yet irresponsible spending/ no accountability from the powers that be.

@Rootbearfoot Like the way they use the presidential jet

@dmmsanjuan You know what's cheap? Votes! For as low as P500. 😂😂😂

@CondolencePH Sad reality.

@dmmsanjuan People get the government they deserve

@gregorioong Our Constitution disagrees. Good governance is the minimum expectation, regardless of who won. But yes, somehow, if we fail to protest against the way they rule, we are partly to blame

@dmmsanjuan 💔😢

@sechellemarie Indeed. Nawa'y mabuhayan pa rin tayo ng pag-asa

@dmmsanjuan Well you'll love this news: the DOF just lifted the excise tax on imported luxury watches. Actually it's old news from July, 2022, but just read about it the other day. While the gov't is bleeding us dry with VAT, income tax & excise tax on fuel & low tier vehicles, the rich

@JCBauti94850024 Agree. Our tax system is generally regressive

@dmmsanjuan Celeste Cortesi is our only redemption🙊🇵🇭

@scorpoint_ Mukhang mananalo nga sabi ng marami

@dmmsanjuan I agree except for the "superhigh income tax rates for the poor" part. Exempted na sa income tax ang may annual taxable income na Php 250,000 and below

@dmmsanjuan Working class is like a Slave…
