"Instead of a one-month income tax holiday a tax expert is urging the Department of Finance to consider proposals to reduce the value-added tax (VAT) rate from XX% to 10%. Mon Abrea chief tax advisor at the Asian Consulting Group said a lower VAT rate would be a fairer and more sustainable alternative to a tax holiday which he described as reckless and skewed toward higher-income earners. He explained that a carefully designed VAT cut paired with the removal of exemptions could ease the burden on consumers without hurting government revenues. via Money Talks @cathyyang"

"When Enablers Speak of Reform By Dr. Tony Leachon The Department of Finance now admits what the people have long known: corruption and substandard flood control projects have crippled our economy and eroded public trust. Finance Secretary Ralph Recto in a rare moment of candor acknowledged that billions were wasted on ghost infrastructure and that if these funds had been properly used our economy could have grown by 6.2%. But this admission is not enough. Secretary Recto cannot feign ignorance. He was not a passive observerhe was a principal actor. He defunded PhilHealth undermined Universal"

"Health is Wealth. Lets Get Our Priorities Right. By Dr. Tony Leachon Senator Risa Hontiveros is right. Its time to realign our national budget toward what truly matters: saving lives. While XXX billion is earmarked for flood control our public hospitals are short by 90375 beds. PhilHealth has been defunded. Patients are turned away. Families are drowningnot just in floods but in medical debt and despair. Lets be clear: infrastructure is important but health is urgent. A nation that cannot care for its sick is a nation in decline. We must support Senator Risas call. Reallocate. Reprioritize."

"RETURN THE XXX BILLION TO THE FILIPINO PEOPLE: A Call to Restore PhilHealth Funds and Uphold the UHC Law The Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) was created to protect the Filipino people from financial ruin due to illness. But in 2024 and 2025 that promise was betrayed. XX billion in 2024 and XX billion in 2025a total of XXX billionwere withheld from PhilHealth by the very institutions tasked to protect public health: the PhilHealth Board the Department of Health the Department of Budget and Management the Department of Finance and the Office of the President. These were not"

"Lip Service or Lifeline By Dr. Tony Leachon President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. recently announced the return of XX billion to PhilHealthfunds previously withdrawn and reabsorbed into the national treasury. But let us ask the hard questions: Where is the Supreme Court decision validating this move Where is the proof of actual release According to the Department of Budget and Management the funds will be reallocated in PhilHealths 2026 budget not immediately restored This means no direct infusion today no relief for patients now and no guarantee that the promise wont be diluted by future political"

"MANILA Philippines Navotas Rep. Toby Tiangco on Wednesday renewed his call for the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) to cancel the passport of resigned Ako Bicol Party-list Rep. Zaldy Co. He also wants the department to compel his return to the Philippines to face investigation over the alleged misuse of public funds in anomalous flood control projects. @TobyTiangco Big question is why is the government not canceling the passport of Zaldy Co to flush him out and force him to return to the country. Greater powers hold sway to prevent Zaldy from bringing them too. Tony Leachon"

"Stewardship Not Stagnation: A Call for Urgent Action on Flood Control and Governance by Dr. Tony Leachon President Marcos recently declared Hindi ako aalis sa Malacaang hanggat hindi naayos ang problema sa flood control. While the sentiment may appear resolute it raises troubling implications. If flood control becomes the sole metric for tenure and its resolution remains elusive are we to expect indefinite rule The irony is stark: the very issue he vows to solve has been relegated to private handsspecifically the Infrastructure Coordination Initiative (ICI)with little transparency or public"

"Selective Justice and the Erosion of Trust By Dr. Tony Leachon The Filipino people are growing restless. The promise of justice feels distant and the reality is painful: only the small fishes are prosecuted while the big ones swim free. The recent Supreme Court decision on PhilHealth issues coupled with the slow pace of investigations into multi-billion peso flood control anomalies has deepened the publics disillusionment. Malacaangs appeal to kalma lang may be well-intentioned but it misses the point. This is not about impatienceit is about principle. When corruption becomes normalized and"

"One of the countrys most influential business figures has issued a rare warning about the state of governance in the Philippines. Business titan Manuel V. Pangilinan cautioned that deepening corruption scandals could hurt investor confidence slow economic activity and even put the nations credit rating in danger. Speaking before financial executives at the 2025 FINEX Conference Pangilinan said that recent allegations of irregularities in public infrastructure programs have created unease across business and financial sectors. He said the credibility of the countrys institutionsand the"

"The Truth Is Not New By Dr. Tony Leachon President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. cannot feign ignorance. He signed the most scandal-ridden budget in our historyriddled with XXX billion worth of flood control projectsdespite sustained opposition from civil society and the glaring reality that PhilHealth was defunded to zero. No subsidy. No safety net. And yet in a moment of theatrical indignation the President stood before lawmakers and declared Mahiya naman kayo. Former Finance Secretary Ramon del Rosario Jr. a respected voice in the business sector and co-convenor of the Roundtable for Inclusive"

"Finance Secretary Rectos VAT Warning Rings Hollow Amid Budget Failures and Public Betrayal Give the Filipino People a Break By Dr. Tony Leachon Finance Secretary Ralph Recto now warns that lowering the value-added tax (VAT) from XX% to XX% could lead to a XXX billion revenue loss and a possible credit rating downgrade. But this alarm delivered during a Senate budget hearing is not a defense of fiscal prudenceit is a deflection from deeper failures. Recto speaks of debt but forgets the damage already done. He defunded PhilHealth transferring XX billion away from Universal Health Carea move so"

"Former Ombudsman Conchita Carpio-Morales has questioned why former House Speaker Martin Romualdez didnt move to cancel the passport of resigned Ako Bicol Rep. Zaldy Co saying it gives the impression that hes covering up for the embattled ex-lawmaker. In an interview with Karen Davila Morales said Romualdez could have easily asked the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) to cancel Cos passport after allegations surfaced linking him to multibillion-peso budget insertions and questionable flood control projects.

"The Illusion of Immunity: Why Martin Romualdez Cannot Be a State Witness The recent pronouncement from Malacaang deferring to the Department of Justice (DOJ) on whether former House Speaker Martin Romualdez may qualify as a state witness in the widening flood control scandal raises profound questions about justice accountability and institutional integrity. It is not merely a legal technicalityit is a moral test of our democracy. Romualdez as Speaker of the House was not a passive observer in the budgetary process. He was a central figure in the approval of allocations that now lie at the"

"Hope in the Ordinary By Dr. Tony Leachon It was a beautiful morning. Marge left to reconnect with her siblingsfresh from her journey home from the UK. I returned to my quiet rituals: a bit of exercise a release of endorphins to soften the ache brought by the countrys burdenscorruption calamities the weight of injustice. But I dont believe we are a cursed nation. I believe we are a resilient one. I watched Love Happensa gentle reminder that healing takes time and love even in fiction can restore something real. Then off to hospital work. No scrubs today. A new haircut. Sneakers. Blue jacket."
