Commissioner Dulay CORRUPTION, WORST ever in BIR History

BIR's Dulay might have taken advantage of the President's inexperience in taxation. President Duterte honestly admitted that he has a little understanding about taxation that is why he just relies on the expertise of the BIR chief. But he might have been misinformed about compromise settlement of taxes. Perhaps Dulay made the President believe that all taxes may be compromised at the discretion of the Commissioner alone, to make it appear that the settlement of Cosmos's P3.76B for only P51M was aboveboard. It's a BIG NO because the tax code also limits the authority of the Commissioner. Of course the President has no more time to look into the details of the provisions of the tax code but just again rely on what his tax expert friend Dulay would relay to him. While Section 204(A) of the NIRC, as amended, empowers the Commissioner to abate or compromise taxes, it at the same time limits the Commissioner's authority to compromise by categorically stating ...

Noong February 8, 2019, nag-report si dating BIR Director Othello Dalanon sa kay Pangulo Duterte ng katiwalian ni BIR Dulay. Ang report na ito ni Dalanon ay natanggap ng Malacanang na may bar code label RE1905441. Noong June 25, 2019, nasibak si Othello Dalanon sa BIR. Walang alam si Dalanon kung ano ang dahilan ng kanyang pagkasibak. Ang alam lang nya ay ng-report sya ng garapal na pangorakot ni BIR commissioner CAESAR "BILLY" RIVERA DULAY. Noong July 1, 2019, sumulat si Othello kay Pangulo Duterte hinggil sa pagkakasibak sa kanya.

BIR's 2019 Collection, Window-Dressed to Trick President Duterte. The Bureau of Internal Revenue missed 2019 revenue goal. The P2.17-T tax collection for the period is approximately 7% short of its P2.330-T target despite TRAIN Law and Tax Amnesty Programs: and even as it includes advance payments or remittances from friendly large taxpayers thru the manipulation of the Bureau’s Large Taxpayers Service, which is a "modus operandi" whenever tax collections fell short of the expected target - to window-dress the agency’s collection efficiency purposely to trick President Duterte.  Just like in June 2019 when PRRD asked the BIR of its collection, it tricked the President by reporting unverified information - that the BIR allegedly collected P317-B tax revenues for the month of May 2019. How can the amount be accurately verified when the agency’s ITS, during that period has bogged down? The Bureau's Revenue Data Centers (RDCs) in Visayas and Mindanao were...

EMPTY RHETORICS The evidence against President Duterte’s long-time friend and former YMCA Dormitory room mate BIR commissioner Caesar Rivera Dulay’s corruption is solid as the Rock of Gibraltar - COURT OF TAX APPEALS FINAL DECISION (CTA Case No. 9405 dated 25May17) - in the extremely anomalous settlement of Cosmos’s P3.76B tax liabilities for only P51M. The CTA, in the aforesaid final resolution, ruled that Cosmos’s P3.76B deficiency tax assessment has become final, executory and demandable. BIR’s settlement for only P51M during the pendency of Cosmos’s Petition for Review with the Court, was INVALID and without the approval of the Bureau’s Evaluation Board. While President Duterte may have previously fired some of his allies on issues of corruption, but considers Dulay as clean despite having committed an unpardonable criminal offense against the Republic of the Philippines, then all of President Duterte’s anti-corruption mantras are mere EMPTY RHETORICS. Othello Da...

Does President Duterte still regard Dulay as clean? The President made the public believe that he immensely hates even a whiff of corruption. True enough, because he showed the people by firing even some of his close allies who were allegedly involved in corruption activities. The people lauded the President for making good his words. But  amazingly, the President seemingly keeps mum on the Dulay issue.  The Dulay corruption controversy has been publicly exposed for more than two years now and believed to have already come to the President’s attention, but he seems to just ignore it.  If he still believes that Dulay is clean, despite having committed an unpardonable criminal offense against the Filipino people - in the extremely anomalous settlement of Cosmos’s P3.76B tax liabilities for only P51M which the CTA itself, in its Final Decision (CTA Case No 9405 dated 25May17), ruled to be invalid, then it's the President’s pr...

President Duterte’s deafening silence on Dulay Corruption crushed the credibility of his Anti-Corruption mantra. The President has incessantly kept on reiterating that he intensely hates corruption. That he doesn't tolerate corruption in his administration and that no sacred cows in his government.  He also keeps on urging the people to report corruption and would incentivize those who will report corrupt practices.  He promised to immediately act on reports of corruption involving government officials. But sadly, he keeps mum on BIR commissioner Caesar Rivera Dulay corruption issue. His deafening silence on Dulay case crushed the credibility of his anti-corruption mantra. ▪️▪️▪️  BIR Dulay corruption, worst in BIR history. Othello Dalanon was an appointee of President Duterte as Director 1 in the Bureau of Internal Revenue assigned to the Office of the Commissioner where he discovered and exposed the WORST CORRUPTI...
