CELEBRATING OUR TEACHERS

This Teachers’ Month, the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry – Manila recognizes the men and women who stand at the forefront of shaping not only minds, but also character, values, and communities.

Love builds bridges. It can eradicate hate, overcome prejudice, and burn away discrimination.

Teachers make these ideals possible every day - not only through what they teach inside the classroom, but through the wisdom, integrity, compassion, respect, and character they demonstrate even beyond the school walls.

The lessons of a teacher do not end when the bell rings. They live on in the choices of their students, in their families, in their workplaces, and eventually in the communities and society they help build.

For the business community, supporting education means supporting the formation of future professionals, entrepreneurs, leaders, and responsible citizens. A stronger economy begins with people who have been taught not only what to know, but how to live and work with others.

To all our teachers and educators, thank you for building bridges where there are divides, choosing understanding over hate, and helping create a society where knowledge is matched by character and success is guided by compassion.

Happy Teachers’ Month!

Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry – Manila
Building Partnerships. Empowering People. Strengthening Communities.

🇵🇭 PCCI - Manila ON THE DOF ProGRESS TAX REFORM PROPOSAL

The Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) Manila recognizes the importance of the Department of Finance’s ProGRESS Tax Reform Proposal — Promoting Growth, Revenue, and Equity towards Socio-Economic Sustainability — as part of the country’s effort to strengthen fiscal capacity and support long-term economic development.

PCCI Manila supports a tax system that is fair, predictable, competitive, and growth-oriented.

📌 On Sin Taxes: Higher taxes on to***co and other harmful products can help promote public health while generating revenues for healthcare and social programs. However, stronger enforcement against smuggling and illicit trade must accompany higher rates to protect legitimate businesses.

🚘 On Luxury Vehicles: Higher taxes on luxury vehicles can promote greater tax equity. At the same time, vehicles used for business operations, logistics, transportation, agriculture, and MSME activities should be carefully distinguished from luxury consumption.

🌏 On Multinational Enterprises: Increasing taxation of multinational enterprises to 15%, consistent with international tax developments, can help create a more equitable business environment. However, implementation must preserve the Philippines’ attractiveness as an investment destination and encourage job creation, technology transfer, and local supply-chain participation.

👷 For Filipino Labor: Additional revenues should translate into investments in infrastructure, education, skills development, digital capabilities, healthcare, and employment programs—ultimately improving productivity and the competitiveness of Filipino workers.

🏪 For MSMEs: Tax reform must go hand in hand with MSME empowerment through easier access to financing, digitalization, market access, innovation support, and simplified regulatory and tax compliance.

📈 For Philippine Business: Revenue generation should ultimately strengthen the country's economic fundamentals—better infrastructure, reliable public services, a skilled workforce, and a business environment where Filipino enterprises can grow and compete globally.

PCCI believes that tax reform should not simply be about collecting more—it should be about creating greater economic value from every peso collected.

A stronger revenue base should lead to stronger businesses, better jobs, empowered MSMEs, increased investment, and inclusive economic growth.

🇵🇭 Fair taxes. Competitive businesses. Productive workers. Empowered MSMEs. Sustainable growth.
