This is too real, grabe.
The Philippines has one of the highest VAT rates in Southeast Asia, plus excise taxes (like on fuel), income tax, withholding tax, and now even additional charges on electricity bills.
Pero nasaan ang progress? Infrastructure is often substandard, may ghost projects, ghost cash assistance, mababa ang sahod ng health workers at teachers, at kulang ang quality ng public hospitals. “Public” na nga, pero mahal pa rin ang healthcare. Halos bawat galaw natin may tax.
Tapos okay lang sa iba na i-idolo ang mga politiko na may record ng corruption, dahil lang sa apelyido?
Wake up. Walang magbabago sa Pilipinas kung pare pareho ang pangalan, pamilya, at mga taong may bahid na ng korapsyon ang patuloy na uupo.
This is a call to vote wisely in 2028. Let’s protect our taxes and our future.
