“So pagpunta namin sa Senate, we will present the options and what will happen if we do not raise it further… We will present the case and hopefully, the Senate will have more openness to the higher rate,” Chua added.

“Away ‘yan, kasi hindi naman pwede basta basta , although I’m sympathetic… Syempre ‘yung position namin ito, I’m bound by it but certainly when I come back to the House. If the bicam comes up with a higher rate then I have to justify it to the members and the leadership,” Salceda explained.The sin tax is part of the Package 2+ of the Duterte administration’s comprehensive tax reform program.
