00:00The Bureau of Internal Revenue or BIR will not stop their efforts to fight corruption.
00:06In the program Mike Adelive, said BIR Commissioner Romeo Lumagi Jr.,
00:11some of their employees are also displaying their trustworthiness.
00:16It's just a reminder that BIR reached their target collection in 2024
00:20which was laid by the Development Budget Coordination Committee.
00:23BIR admitted that there are still some companies,
00:26like some cigarettes and vape companies, that are being targeted.
00:29That's why they will not stop their efforts.
00:31At the same time, they are calling on everyone,
00:34that the purpose of BIR is not only the work and success of BIR,
00:37but also of all Filipinos.
00:40First, we will continue the improvements that we started here in BIR.
00:46All the programs that we started,
00:49because we started when we sat down as commissioners,
00:53we already discussed what our plans and programs will be.
00:58Of course, those results would take time.
01:01That's why now we can see the results of the plans and programs that we made.
01:07First, we focused on improving the taxpayer service.
01:12That's what I always repeat,
01:13because my mentality is that all our fellow Filipinos
01:20want to comply and pay the right fees.
01:25But sometimes, the processes are really difficult.
01:28That's why we want to, as much as possible,
01:30start with ourselves,
01:33to provide a good service to our fellow Filipinos.
