Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are considered the critical drivers for the country. They are a major contributing force to our country’s investment and economic growth, job creation, taxation, productivity enhancement and technological innovation. Seeing how difficult it is to start a business in our country, our MSMEs have found themselves in the margins of development. This proved t

he need for empowerment towards the realization of inclusive growth by ensuring that they actively both contribute and benefit from it. CSR Philippines aims to assist them in finding a solution to concerns such as limited financial support, low productivity and competitiveness, limited management and financial capabilities as well as the lack of access to new technology. Through public and private collaborations, CSR Philippines and its partner organizations aim to improve the business environment, increase access to finance, allow pe*******on to new markets, expand existing ones and raise the level of productivity and efficiency using ethical, results-based management approach. To carry out this mission, four committees were formed namely, the Formation, Operations, Communication and Legal committees aimed at jumpstarting initiatives on skills and values development, finance and business compliance, legislative,public relations and policies. To complement the realization of the said goals, CSR Philippines introduced the Citizen Tax Planning (CTP) certification
program. Geared towards genuine tax reform, CSR Philippines desires legislative, administrative and enterprise level reforms built on indispensable core values of integrity and honesty. CSR Philippines is committed to encourage each and every Filipino entrepreneur to be engines of change as we collectively improve the ease of doing business in the country. We believe in strengthening Filipino MSMEs in the hope of making them prime movers in the world of business in order to establish a progressive and sustainable economy propelled by entrepreneurship. All in the spirit of true nation-building.

How can we put more money in Filipinos’ pockets while building a stronger, more competitive economy?

Global Tax Policy Expert Mon Abrea joins Cathy Yang on Money Talks for a wide-ranging conversation on tax reform, take-home pay, government spending, corruption, investment, and economic growth.

From the long-unchanged ₱250,000 tax-free threshold and the case for GINHAWA, to the question of whether higher tax-free income is fiscally sustainable—and what it means for attracting foreign investors—this conversation challenges us to rethink how tax policy can work better for both Filipinos and the economy.

What should Philippine tax reform ultimately deliver: more income for workers, better government, and a more competitive investment environment?

As technology continues to reshape industries and economies, meaningful progress requires stronger collaboration between innovators, businesses, and policymakers. By creating spaces for dialogue and experimentation—including regulatory sandboxes—we can help turn bold ideas into practical solutions and modernize policies for the future.

At ACG, we believe that innovation and regulation should move forward together.

Hindi dapat ang ordinaryong Pilipino ang laging bumabalikat sa kakulangan sa koleksyon ng gobyerno. Sa halip na magdagdag ng buwis sa mga produkto at konsumo, panahon nang habulin ang mga hindi nagbabayad ng tamang buwis, palakasin ang pagkolekta mula sa malalaking kumpanya, at i-modernize ang tax administration. Ang mas patas na sistema ng buwis ay nagsisimula sa pananagutan ng mga tunay na dapat magbayad.
