(Delivered during the opening of the Second Session of the Twelfth Congress)



This is a somber time for our nation as we begin the Second Session of the Twelfth Congress aware of our people’s deepening anxiety about our future.


As their elected representatives, we have witnessed their degrading poverty and anger at economic injustice that did not disappear with past opportunities at renewing the nation’s life. 


The question now comes: What is demanded of this Congress?

This developed as the BIR endorsed the dismissal of at least 20 revenue officials and personnel suspected of graft and corruption, the first crackdown in the agency since the administration took over.


Finance Secretary Jose Isidro Camacho told reporters that an executive order is being drafted to implement phase one of the BIR’s reform plan.
