President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. brushed off Friday the allegations made against him by former Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) agent Jonathan Morales as he likened him to a jukebox who will play any song for a fee.

According to the President, he will not give importance to the lies of a person without credibility.

A new airline based in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) is set to serve and fly across the region beginning Wednesday, April 24, 2024.

The Bangsamoro Airways seeks to connect mainland BARMM to its island provinces “to make the provision of significant services accessible, strengthen bureaucracy and logistics, and bolster the region’s economy, tourism, and employment, among others,” according to the Bangsamoro Information Office.

Bureau of Internal Revenue Commissioner Romeo D. Lumagui Jr. warns the taxpaying public to avoid dealing with unscrupulous individuals that act as "fixers" for their tax obligations. This is in relation to a syndicate that was caught on April 12, 2024, extorting millions of pesos from a taxpayer with the promise of "fixing" their tax issues. The syndicate, all private citizens and not employees of the BIR, extorted 3.6 million pesos from the taxpayer, using their alleged connection with high-ranking BIR officials. The syndicate even used the forged signatures of the BIR Commissioner, the Deputy Commissioner for Operations Group, the Deputy Commissioner of the Legal Group, the Assistant Commissioner of the Large Taxpayer Service, and a Revenue District Officer.

"The arrest of this syndicate of fixers serves as a reminder to all taxpayers to avoid dealing with these groups and to always verify the authority of any person in dealing with your tax obligations. We urge the public to report to the BIR these individuals/groups. We will help you entrap and arrest them," Commissioner Lumagui stated.

The arrested fixers used acknowledgement receipts with the forged signatures of the aforementioned officials of the BIR for "processing of documents,” “extension of compliance with Computerized Accounting System,” and "processing and fixation of transfer" from one Revenue District Office to another. All of these processes are regulated by the BIR itself and may be processed in its offices, there is no need for a "fixer" because there is already a system in place. The BIR has adequate revenue memorandum circulars, revenue memorandum orders, and other regulations that will guide the taxpayer in dealing with these concerns.

The BIR has been consistent in addressing corruption issues. Commissioner Lumagui himself leads this crusade with his program of Integrity and Professionalism within the BIR.

In February 2024, Commissioner Lumagui reported that a BIR employee was caught extorting a bike shop. The BIR, together with law enforcement agencies, arrested the employee through an entrapment operation. Last May 2023, Commissioner Lumagui also filed criminal cases against a BIR employee caught tampering with sales machines to help a taxpayer avoid paying the right taxes.

This shows that whether the perpetrators come from the BIR itself or from private sector "fixers", Commissioner Lumagui has zero tolerance over these criminal activities.

"Walang lugar sa Bagong Pilipinas at sa Bagong BIR ang mga ganitong criminal. Ang BIR ay handang makipagtulungan sa ibang ahensiya ng gobyerno upang hulihin, kasuhan, at ikulong ang mga ganitong tao," Commissioner Lumagui stated.

BASAHIN | Nilinaw ng Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) na PEKE ang kumakalat na operational documents online na muling naghahatak sa pangalan ni Pang. Ferdinand R Marcos Jr.

Partikular ito sa social media post kung saan pinalalabas na nasa drug list si Pang. Marcos at may nakalakip pang dalawang larawan ng dokumento, isang Authority to Operate at Pre-Operation Report, na may petsang March 11, 2012.

Sa isang pahayag, sinabi ng PDEA na walang naka-log na ganitong impormasyon sa kanilang Plans and Operations Reports Management Information System o PORMIS.

Kaugnay nito, muling pinagiingat ng PDEA ang publiko sa mga impormasyong nababasa online nang hindi mabiktima ng fake news. | via Merry Ann Bastasa

The Department of Justice (DOJ) confirmed the arrest of former Negros Oriental congressman and designated terrorist Arnolfo “Arnie” Teves Jr., in Dili East Timor today at around 4:00pm while playing golf at the Top Golf Driving Range and Bar.

Teves, Jr. is facing multiple murder charges in connection with the killing of Negros Oriental Gov Roel Degamo and five others in March 2023.

The arrest of Teves was made possible through the collaborative efforts of law enforcement agencies, including the International Police (INTERPOL) National Central Bureau (NCB) in Dili, in coordination with the East Timorese Police.

"Today's apprehension of Teves is a testament to the power of international cooperation. It sends a clear message that no terrorist can evade justice and that nations stand united in safeguarding the safety and security of their citizens,” said Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin “Boying” Remulla.

Teves, who has been the subject of a Red Notice, is now under the custody of Timorese Police while his extradition to the Philippines is being worked out by NCB-Dili in coordination with the team from NCB-Manila and Dili Philippine Embassy.

“The capture of Teves only proves that through concerted efforts and determination, terrorism can be thwarted and peace preserved,” Secretary Remulla added.

Remulla urged Teves, “Face your long-delayed trial without setting any conditions, face the courts squarely.”

“Rest assured that the DOJ remains committed to providing regular updates on Teves' return to the Philippines,” the Secretary said.

The Secretary likewise thanked the Philippine law enforcement team as well as our international law enforcement partners in their relentless efforts in fighting lawlessness to achieving peace. # # #
