Bongbong Marcos camp presents BIR tax certification showing BBM payment for his tax dues and fines

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

The Tax Certificate of Bongbong Marcos is just like his diploma from Oxford University —- it looks special.

Bongbong Marcos camp presents certification from Bureau of Internal Revenue showing the presidential aspirant fully paid his taxes and fines in his tax case.

Atty. Vic Rodriguez, spokesperson of former Sen. Bongbong Marcos, presents to the media a BIR certification dated December 9, 2021. 

The camp of Marcos Jr. insists that the former senator had "paid all his deficiency taxes, including interests.” "It has been paid, we owe nothing to the government,” says Rodriguez, showing the BIR certification. 

Rodriguez says this will invalidate the petitioners’ claims against Marcos Jr.  

Ganito ba talaga format ng legit na document from a government agency? 2-3 fonts used?, hindi logo ng BIR ang ginamit kundi slogan logo and walang dry seal? Nasaan ang tax receipt niya?

Does the payment only proves admitting of guilt? Conviction is true which makes him ineligible for public office.Pruweba ito na nag violate si Marcos Jr ng tax kaya nagbayad?

What is the date of this document? If it's less than 5 years old, the more it proves he evaded taxes from years back until the whole issue came about!

if he can ask this government agency to issue him certificate, why cant he asked then the Quezon City Regional Trial Court (RTC) for the clearance? it is the only way to fully clear him of the non-payment issue of the penalties imposed, if it is not the RTC then the Court of Appeals (CA) or whatever the rules says.

According to both Justices Panganiban and Carpio, it is the RTC that is the proper certifying authority as it is the final executory court.

His disqualification is based on his conviction, not whether he paid his fines and dues.

It feels like they’re trying to steer the case by making it about the payment instead of the actual conviction. Because a clearance (after paying his obligations) still doesn't erase his prior conviction.

He is still a tax evader. The payment of tax liabilities and fines after a conviction is an acceptance of guilt on the part of the convicted which makes him ineligible for any public office and that he lied in his COC about “not being convicted” of any crime.

Whether he paid the penalty or not, it doesn’t change the fact that he was convicted with a crime that perpetually disqualifies him to run for public office.

Anong klaseng tax to? Nakakapikon ng sobra. Akala ko naman milyun-milyon ang binayaran. Baryang barya lang po. Hindi ako mayaman pero ang tax ko sa isang taon ay higit 10x sa combined tax niya. Maliit na negosyong coffee shop nga eh may 10% withholding tax. Ang iba dyan, kung hindi orderan ng korte, hindi magbabayad. Pwede palang halos 20 years na di magbayad ng tax? Sige, gawin na ng lahat! Kung pwede pa mag- presidential candidate kahit ang tagal ng bayad (malamang dahil kinasuhan lang), e di all na!

Electing him in any government position is a mockery of our legal system.
