Recto indicated that the government is effectively overseeing its finances, ensuring that public demands are fulfilled without imposing new taxes on the populace.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The Finance Chief articulated that as the primary custodian of fiscal prudence, the DoF emphasizes the crucial role of securing adequate resources to protect the economy, particularly during crises.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u201cCareful strategies have been devised to assure fiscal sustainability and create necessary buffers amidst escalating global economic uncertainty prompted by political discord, extended high interest rates, and unpredictable trade policies. However, given our current robust fiscal outcomes, these are unnecessary at this moment,\u201d he stated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Secretary Recto notably pointed out the substantial double-digit growth in tax collections during the first quarter of the year, which reaffirms the country\u2019s fiscal stability.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">In the first quarter of 2025, overall tax collections grew by 13.55% to P931.5 billion. Of this, the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) reported P690.4 billion in collections, an increase of 16.67% compared to the same timeframe last year. Likewise, the Bureau of Customs (BoC) saw collections rise by 5.72%, totaling PHP 231.4 billion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">This growth was mainly due to both revenue agencies\u2019 ongoing success in enhancing tax administration, digitalization, and enforcement efforts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u201cAt present, our existing revenues are abundantly sufficient to meet our spending requirements. We are fulfilling our duties, financing essential programs, and bolstering the economy without imposing new taxes on our kababayan,\u201d he stressed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u201cWe are also effectively managing our deficit level, while upholding a sustainable debt path aligned with our Medium-Term Fiscal Framework (MTFF),\u201d he added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">To maintain this progress, the DoF is dedicated to executing key measures that would retain and draw in more investments as well as generate additional revenues for the government, such as the CREATE MORE Act; the Ease of Paying Taxes (EOPT) Act; amendments to the Foreign Investment Act, the Retail Trade Liberalization Act, and the Public Service Act; and the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Code, among others.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Simultaneously, the DoF will persist in exploring and enhancing non-tax revenue sources to achieve the revenue goals outlined in the Budget of Expenditures and Sources of Financing (BESF).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Meanwhile, the Cabinet Secretary warned the public against misinformation, especially with the national elections approaching in less than three weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u201cMisinformation tends to spread during elections, particularly online. Regarding fiscal policies such as taxes, we urge the public to be more discerning, verify information on social media, and rely on announcements from official government sources.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Mr. Recto reassured the public that the fiscal policies adopted in recent years have fortified the economy and that the government remains committed to ensuring growth and stability without imposing new taxes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>Spotlight is BusinessWorld\u2019s sponsored section that enables advertisers to amplify their brand and engage with BusinessWorld\u2019s audience by featuring their narratives on the BusinessWorld website.
