The authors of this legislation should be lashed a million times at the Luneta...& should they survive..itali sa puno at pakagat sa langgam!

LET US OBJECT TO PROPOSED TAX RELIEF FOR PLDT/SMART GROUP marami pong palusot sa mga buwis. itong tax sa text ang mahirap nila mapapalusutan LET US ALL SUPPORT THIS MEASURE. Texting is the most profitable service of the telcos. it should have been free, but we are being charge P1.00 each. and we can't stop using them. The telecom abused and overcharged us. Let the government collect this P0.05 tax from the telcos. The NTC is there to guarantee that this will not be passed-on to subscribers. It may even result to reduction of text cost if NTC will set a ceiling of P0.50/text. Telcos are using various excuses so as not to pay taxes. They (Smart) are bringing to court every municipalities and cities that wants to collect taxes. They still refused to pay even if the supreme court already ruled against them. This text tax will be for the good of the country. it will also help the government monitor the sales of these telecoms. LET US ALL SUPPORT THIS. Kung meron man po tayong dapat tutulan, ay yuong panukala ni Cong. Joseph Santiago (dating swelduhan ng Smart/Piltel) na nagbibigay na naman ng bagong tax exemption sa PLDT / Smart group LET US SUPPORT TAX ON TELCOS FOR THEIR OVERPRICED TEXT.
