MANILA – For Filipino teachers, the collected tax from their honoraria as election officers that they hope to be reimbursed is a far cry from the unpaid estate taxes of the Marcos family.
“There is nothing to fret about the proposed reimbursement of the P1.5 billion ($27 million) collected taxes from 700,000 poll workers who served during the last election. If at all, they should be thanked for their service, and this can help them make ends meet amid this crisis we are in,” said Vladimer Quetua, chairperson of the Alliance of Concerned Teachers.
