BIR, KRIS AQUINO,MUST EXPLAIN!


The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) and Kris Aquino have a lot of explaining to do about her being the country’s number one income taxpayer.

First: Does this mean that SHE EARNED MORE than Henry Sy Sr. Lucio Tan and the other billionaires in the country?  

I have not seen or heard of any company or group of companies owned by Kris, solely or in partnership with others, which earn more than Sy’s SM mall chain or his Banco de Oro and other big businesses. Or Tan’s Allied/PNB bank and Asia Brewery. Anybody correct me if I’m wrong.

So how much did Kris earn compared to Sy, Tan and the other billionaires?

Since she’s the supposed number one individual taxpayer, that means Kris earned more than what the billionaires earned from their companies. How could this be?

Were the sources of and incomes declared by Kris 100 percent accurate and totally legitimate? Was any probe conducted to determine the accuracy and legitimacy?

Since she paid more taxes than the billionaires, the assumption now is Kris in the league of the richest of the rich.  

If Kris or the BIR will say she is, where is she getting her money? 

Apart from not having any known multi-million or multi-billion business or businesses, the only known big sources of income of Kris are TV and movie appearances and commercials

If she’s not yet among the richest of the rich, why is Kris paying a lot more taxes than the billionaires?

Sy, dubbed the richest man in the Philippines by Forbes magazine, paid only P16.58 million in income tax. Tan, the second richest, paid only P10.78.

For BIR Commissioner Kim Henares, she should give a DETAILED JUSTIFICATION why the billionaires are not among the country’s top 10 taxpayers.

The billionaires have ALWAYS BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED as billionaires. 

Their sources of their billions have always been visibile, like:  Lucio Co’s chain of Puregold supermarkets, George Ty’s Metrobank and Tony Tan Caktiong’s Jollibee.

As far as I can remember, Kris has NEVER BEEN CLASSIFIED AS A BILLIONAIRE.

Who computed the tax liabilities of the billionaires?  Why are these SO LOW compared to that of Kris and known business executives from various companies?

WHO approved the highly-suspicious income tax liabilities of the billionaires? On what grounds?

Whatever replies will be given to these queries, one thing’s for sure:

INSTEAD of being pictured simply as a law-abiding citizen even though she’s a presidential sister, Kris has just been thrown into an UNFATHOMABLE DEPTH of suspicion by the press that she’s the country’s top individual taxpayer.30
