Ex-PCGG commissioner: The 1997 Supreme Court decision on estate tax is final and executory. There's no excuse for the Marcos family not to pay. bit.ly/36U000u
Ex-PCGG commissioner: 11 Marcos Tacloban properties were levied. Pwedeng ibenta ng BIR ang property bilang kabayaran. Because they haven't been paid, the interest on amount due is still high.
Ex-PCGG commissioner: SC said Marcos Swiss accounts part of ill-gotten wealth
Ex-PCGG commissioner: Ill-gotten wealth means money is stolen from the Republic of the Philippines
Ex-PCGG commissioner: No one will be sued for libel for saying 'magnanakaw ang mga Marcos'
Ex-PCGG commissioner: It's not true that case is pending as per Marcos lawyers
Ex-PCGG commissioner: Marcoses were hiding property from BIR. They had 20 years in power, 20 years to hide. You can't hide land, houses but you can hide bank accounts and other types of property.
Ex-PCGG commissioner: Those in power think they can negotiate their way out of their legal obligations. The Marcoses have committed crimes, human rights violations.
Ex-PCGG commissioner: No one is above the law, not even a dictator of 20 years — especially if you're just the son of that dictator
Ex-PCGG commissioner says Bongbong Marcos can be charged for money laundering: There are still Marcos assets not found by PCGG. Bongbong is co-administrator of Marcos estate. He has been hiding these assets.
Ex-PCGG commissioner: BIR should have filed a criminal case against the Marcos family. I think BIR prioritizes tax collection over prosecution. But in this case, no one else has owed ₱203 billion just for estate taxes. It requires extraordinary measures from BIR.
Ex-PCGG commissioner: BIR can ask banks in PH for details of Marcos assets
Ex-PCGG commissioner: The premise is hoarding and hiding ill-gotten wealth. Any attempt of Bongbong Marcos to hide assets of his father is money laundering.
Carranza reiterates BIR can go around Bank Secrecy Law.
