Facts First with Christian Esguerra
00:22.4
Good evening guys! Welcome to tonight's episode of Facts First. Ako po si Christian Esguerra.
00:28.4
Welcome po sa ating episode ngayong gabi.
00:31.6
Meron po tayong pag-uusapan na napaka-importante. Alam ko po marami po sa inyo ang nagiintay na mapag-usapan po ito sa ating programa.
00:38.0
Although of course, alam natin na usapan po ito sa social media at sa iba't iba pa pong mga programa sa iba't ibang platforms, no?
00:47.4
Bigla, may pahayag po kasi si President Ferdinand Bongbong Marcos. Actually, meron siyang apila sa mga Filipinos.
00:56.2
So mga Pilipino, magbayad daw po ng tamang buwis sa tamang oras, okay?
01:01.5
So ang response na nung maraming Pilipino, especially online, joke po ba yan?
01:08.6
Seryoso po ba kayo? Bakit?
01:11.5
Kung alam nyo po yung konteksto, maintindihan nyo po kung bakit maraming nagtataka at maraming naiinis din, no, doon sa pahayag ng Pangulo.
01:19.8
Magbayad daw ng tamang buwis sa tamang oras para makatulong sa economic recovery, iba pa na naman yung pagkakautang ng kanilang pamilya sa estate tax na bilyong-bilyong piso ang halaga.
01:31.4
Yan po yung pag-uusapan natin ngayong gabi. Makasama po natin ng isang eksperto pagdating po sa larangan ng buwis.
01:39.6
We'd like to welcome again to our program si Mr. Mon Abrea. Magandang gabi sa iyo Mon. Nice to have you again at the program.
01:47.0
Good evening Christian. Umaga palang dito sa Harvard. Nasa apartment pa ako.
01:52.4
Nasa ka ba ngayon? Abnostra ka? Parang you're touring the world na. Nasa ka ba ngayon? Harvard.
01:59.8
Nasa Harvard talaga. Yes. Wala lang akong... Ang class ko kasi pag Wednesday. Wednesday dito ng morning eh sa law school which is every other week. So wala akong class today.
02:08.7
Gano'ng katagal ka ba dyan? Nag-aaral ka sa Harvard no?
02:12.0
Harvard Kennedy School. Graduation ko na sa May.
02:15.8
And then babalik ka na dito?
02:17.8
Hindi pa tayo sigurado siya.
02:19.8
Ako mukhang wala nang balak bumalik siya Mon. Huwag naman eh.
02:23.8
Nag-Spain ka diba? Was this 2 weeks ago? Tama ba?
02:27.0
Actually nag-Europe Roadshow tayo. Pinromote natin. Meet natin yung mga Filipino entrepreneurs yung may negosyo sa iba't ibang bansa.
02:34.2
And actually kinamusta ko sila kamusta yung tax doon? Okay ba sila? Ano yung mga benefits? And are they willing to invest in the Philippines? Alam ba nila yung mga options nila para hindi sila ma-scam?
02:43.9
Then we met with the ambassadors, the commercial attache as part of our international roadshow.
02:49.4
Alam mo naman Christian kahit na magkakaiba tayo ng pananaw pagdating sa politika, iisa yung bansa natin eh. So we have to protect it and we need to make sure yung mga kababayan din natin is makikinabang kung ano man yung meron yung Pilipinas.
03:03.0
Tama naman kasi akala ng iba dito sa Pilipinas na pag magkakaiba yung politika ng mga Pilipino pagdating doon sa, lalo yung mga kritiko, pagdating sa labas naninira. Hindi po ganun. Kasi isa lang bansa natin.
03:16.4
So alam ko Christian kasi yung report ko sa Classico, corruption finding it and fixing it, case ng Pilipinas. So just to clarify din since marami kang viewers, yung 4th syndrome ng corruption is a research study in 2007. Matagal na po siya. At Marcos Ira po talaga yung nasa case study.
03:36.4
Hindi ko sinisiraan yung presidente. Nakalagay po yung martial law and oligarchs and clans how they plundered and stolen money from the Philippines. And kahit nabura na yung book of records, ang estimated ill-gotten wealth talaga umabot sa $10B.
03:54.4
At hindi ko ginawa yun para siraan yung Pilipinas. Kahit iba yung nag-present Christian, yun din yung ipapresent nila. Nagkataon lang, nag-volunteer ako na maunang mag-present kasi nagbabiyahe ako. So to make sure lang hindi ko mamimiss yung presentation, ako yung unang nag-present. At ang nasa-sign sa akin, 4th syndrome of corruption. Very timely.
04:14.4
Actually, binabanggit nyo mo na Briana, yung estimated Marcos loot, yung nakakamayaman daw ng pamilya at ang kanilang mga cronies, yung estimate noon at least, at least $10B. Yun po, makikita nyo yung paliwanag doon sa libro ng dating Senate President Jovito Salonga, yung presidential plunder. Nandun po yan.
04:34.4
At yung mga cronies, kasama yung chief legal niya.
05:02.4
Sa ang ayaw naman tayo Christian sa panawagan ng Pangulo, actually wala naman siyang ibang pwedeng sabihin. Kasi nasa tax campaign siya, expected talaga sa kahit sinong presidente na nakaupo na pag-tax season they will have to lead the campaign and encourage ating mga kababayan, the tax-paying public to pay the right taxes.
05:20.4
So awkward lang talaga kasi parang may malaking salamin sa harap niya, pay your taxes correctly and on time. So parang memo to self, note to self, pay your taxes correctly and on time. Parang yun lang yung para sa akin napaka-awkward ng position niya.
05:38.4
Kasi naman yung ad-lib, hindi naman yung spontaneous, he's reading his script. At yun yung nakalagay kasi bilang presidente yan talaga yung trabaho mo, suportahan mo yung BIR. Tunad yung sinabi niya, lifeblood to ng gobyerno, kailangan maka-collect na ng buwis.
05:56.4
At yun yung president Christian na yung pamilya nila is merong unpaid, hindi po pending. Pag sinabi kasing pending, hindi pa sigurado. Meron po talaga silang unpaid estate tax liabilities. At kahit siya mismo nakasuhan din kasama ng nanay niya doon sa Supreme Court decision dahil hindi rin siya nag-file ng tax returns niya.
06:16.4
Yan po yung issue nung election. Actually parehong issue po yan nung election po. Hindi nila pagbabayad ng estate tax. Ang estimate po lumabo na po sa Php203B at least from Php23B kasi nga nag-accrue ng mga penalties yan dahil hindi nga nila binabayaran.
06:32.4
Pero dito sabi mo awkward? Awkward lang ba? Sabi ng iba, hypocritical. Parang tanong, is that you Mr. President? How could you encourage people to pay the right taxes on time kung kayo mismo hindi pa sinesettle?
07:02.4
Mahirap lang talaga para sa kanya. Nakakalungkot din kasi nakapangalawang commissioner na siya na-appoint. Parang hindi pa rin natin alam anong plano, anong estado o anong gagawin ngayon doon sa unpaid estate tax liabilities.
07:32.4
Hindi naman taon-taon na maaten sila ng annual tax awareness kickoff. Kasi tax season na pumapasok na tayo sa tax season at ibig sabihin nito magpafile ng ating kababayan ng annual income tax return. Hindi ibig sabihin ayaw palang magbabayad lalo ng mga empleyado nakakaltasan yan tuwing swelto.
08:02.4
I-resolve ba natin yan, pangungunahan natin magbobolontir na tayo, ang pamilya ko, nabayaran yan sa lalong madaling panahon. Yan sana yung narinig natin at ito ay panawagan din sa lahat, sundan nyo ang gagawin ko. Parang set the good example. Parang hindi, parang kampanya pa rin, empty promises pa rin. Bayad kayo, akong bahala ayusin natin ang problema ng bayan. Parang gano'n.
08:32.4
To set an example, kung hindi niya in-address ang issue yan during the campaign. Tapos in-interview siya ng kanyang paboritong vlogger, ang most powerful celebrity si Tony Gonzaga, ang gusto pa nga niya pabuksan yung kaso dahil hindi rin na-argue yung kanilang side which was fake news. They had all the opportunities to actually present their case noong time na yan.
09:02.4
Lalo na alam naman natin kaya may lagayan sa BIR kapag ayaw magbayad ng taxpayers. At kapag patuloy ginamit ng Presidente yung paliwanag o palusot na yan na hindi namin alam, kailangan namin magpaliwanag, di namin nagbigyan ng pagkakataon, eba lahat na magbabayad, lahat na sisili ng BIR yan, nasasabihin. Kung yung Pangulo magta-30 taon na hindi pa nagbabayad, ako 3 araw pa lang, inahabol muna ako, kakasuha muna ako.
09:32.4
... Ang mga pangulo sa Christian para sa Pangulo is kausapin niya ang kanyang advisors at gawa ng paraan paano ma-re-resolve ito. Yan lang talagang paraan para tumigil na ang mga kritiko pagdating dito. Kasi ako sinasabi ko, hindi ako kritiko ng Pangulo, wala akong pakilam sa kanya. Ang sa akin ang pulisiya, sa akin pag may kinalaman sa tax nagre-react ako. Pero kung walang kinalaman doon, wala akong comment, Christian hindi mo ako nakikialam kahit tulad ngayon papunta siya sa Japan o pumunta siya sa Japan. Bahala siya sa buhay niya, hindi akong makikialam doon.
10:02.4
... Sa mga pulisiya na may kinalaman tulad dito, 8.7 ng inflation last year, sabi nila pababa ng pababa, parang pataas pa rin ang pataas. So parang anong ginagawa nyo? So doon tayo nagre-react. Pero maliban doon Christian iniiwasan ko din mamulitika dahil hindi din maganda dahil imbes na pinaking-ingan ang sinasabi natin, tinitira lang tayo ng mga basyos kasi ayan na naman si Abrea, galit na naman kay Presidente. Hindi po ako galit sa Presidente, gusto ko lang magbayad siya."
