Coming Fuel Shortage?

Why don't they tax and penalize the small and medium businesses that aren't even BIR-registered instead? There are a LOT of them out there. Harassing big companies like Shell will scare away more investors (becoming a trend). Instead of rewarding our top taxpayers, they harass them and let these unregistered SMEs get away with next to no tax contrubutions.

Maybe government vehicles should have a warning message printed on them similar to booze and packs of smokes.

It should read: "Greed moderately."

it's those populist politicians projecting the pro-poor/anti-rich image

(or an unpopular administration trying to earn back popularity)

what better way to gain popularity than by harassing a multinational oil company

the masses hate oil companies

You said it. Meanwhile, professional squatters enjoy rent-free, tax free housing and no income tax. Ang bilis yumaman ng mga ito. In some areas they have erected up to 3 storey buildings with a/c and rent them out, again, tax free. And some of them drive nice SUVs.

simply because there is no money with them....... malaki pagod, maliit ang kita....

Isa pa yun. My source tells me now that the norm nowadays is that less than 50% of the approved budget for any government construction makes it to the project.

I think that it is a conservative estimate. Im pretty sure na lahat ng nakakaalam sa proyekto eh kelangan lagyan para walang pumiyok.

cant blame them, they have to do this to be in power and being in power is their means of livelihood. They are just doing what they need to do to live a good life just like the business people do.

I don't think they'll push through with Shell's double taxation though. How will they fuel the cars on their motorcades if Shell stops importation?
