“Speaking before the members of the Federation of Filipino Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry Inc. in a leadership forum late Tuesday, February 16, Vice President Jejomar Binay said that among his first acts as President, if elected, would be choosing a new head of the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR),” reports Lira Dalangin-Fernandez on InterAksyon.com.
Binay was quoted as saying, “Ipapangako ko sa inyo (I promise you), within 30 minutes after I take my oath, you will have a new BIR head.”
The report noted: “The BIR is currently headed by Kim Henares, who has vigorously led campaigns against businessmen who were tax evaders.”
