However, Suansing said he can arrange a meeting between Dulay and Abante since the BIR commissioner was not able to attend due to a health-related matter.

“Siguro kinakailangan, ang gawin ng ating good commissioner is to give us a record, including his bill of health so that we would be able to know because this is a budget deliberation in the plenary and [he] must be here even in Zoom,” the lawmaker added. “I demand that the commissioner of the BIR speak to me personally. I demand that the [he] ought to apologize to this Congress. I demand that [he] submit a record of [his] record of his condition to this chamber or I will move for the deferment of this budget of the BIR,” Abante said.
