MANILA – A labor group assailed the Department of Finance’s proposed tax reform for the new administration, saying the government apparently does not care on people’s welfare.
In a statement, Kilusang Mayo Uno secretary general Jerome Adonis said in Filipino, “We are still in a pandemic, millions lost their job and livelihood, and workers’ wages are still very low. If taxes are raised, how far will our depressing wages go? The government really does not care about the plight of the people.”
