“He will be a major player in how we stay on the path of growth, meet and even surpass our medium-term fiscal target, and achieve our developmental targets. He will promote not just ease in paying taxes but also in efficiently and effectively spending those collections. Because a citizen’s reward for tax compliance should be better and more responsive public services.” —Pangulong Marcos.

He will be at the forefront when we take that leap towards economic growth. he has a vision of innovation, and Secretary Go will help us create an environment that will not just draw in investment but realize, ushering in an era of unprecedented growth across industries.” —Secretary Go.
Sabi ni Pangulong Marcos, sa tulong ng dalawang kalihim, umaasa siyang maipapasa na ng mga mambabatas ang mga panukala na una nang nasertipakahan bilang urgent measure na layong mapadali pa ang pagni-negosyo sa Pilipinas at lalong magbubukas sa ekonomiya ng bansa.
“I am certain that he will be championing reforms, leverage his influence in both Houses of Congress into passing bills that accelerate growth, draw in investments, and create better jobs while raising funds that will be invested back for human and physical capital formation. Many of the measures that make tax regimes more efficient, easy to administer and to comply with, and equitable are in the advance stages in both Houses of Congress.” —Pangulong Marcos. | ulat ni Reacquel Bayan
