By MANILA, Philippines – President Sara Duterte and her husband, Atty. Manases Carpio, cannot hide their income tax returns behind legal technicalities forever, Manila Rep. Joel Chua said Wednesday night.
Chua, a lawyer and chairperson of the House committee on good government and public accountability, clarified that the committee on justice’s decision to keep the Bureau of Internal Revenue’s (BIR) box of tax records sealed was a matter of caution—not a concession that the committee lacked the right to open it.
