The Bureau of Internal Revenue on Wednesday, October 8, files tax evasion complaints against Sarah and Curlee Discaya, and the corporate officer of their firm St. Gerrard Construction, due to P7.1-billion in tax liability.

The liability stems from the couple’s unpaid individual income taxes, unpaid excise taxes from their nine luxury vehicles, and unpaid documentary stamp taxes when they supposedly divested from their firms. | via @Jairo Bolledo-Rappler

In a press briefing after Remulla’s oathtaking, he was asked what would be the first thing he would do upon his assumption as Ombudsman.

Remulla says he will have an audit of pending cases and, based on the length of time they had been pending, he will institute guidelinenes on making cases move and be resolved more speedily. 

This is being consistent with his approach in any office he assumes: he studies the systems, the workflows, to address any inefficiencies, loopholes, etc. He institutes mechanisms so all parts are interconnected and moving together seamlessly for a more efficient operations and service delivery.

BREAKING: Ombudsman Boying Remulla says the memorandum directing the release of government officials’ SALNs will be issued next week.

SALNs are documents containing the summary of officials’ wealth.

I hope this will not result in an "abente-atras" kind of action. 🤔

FLAG launches ‘Frontliners for Human Rights’ book to mark 50th anniversary

MANILA, Philippines – The Free Legal Assistance Group (FLAG) on Friday, October 10, launched its book “Frontliners for Human Rights,” to mark its 50th anniversary. 

Known as the oldest human rights lawyers network in the country, FLAG’s book compiles the group’s landmark cases.

“The cases featured in this compilation highlight FLAG’s pivotal role in advancing human rights, consumer rights, national sovereignty, and labor law. The book demonstrates how the organization’s legal arguments have contributed to the evolution of Philippine law, even in cases where a win was not secured,” FLAG said.

FLAG said apart from being a compilation of cases, the book also tells the stories of the group’s lawyers and clients and their search for justice.

Senior Associate Justice Marvic Leonen delivered a keynote speech during the book launch held at the UP College of Law.
