Nueva Ecija Third District Rep. Rosanna “Ria” Vergara chided the Department of Finance for taking an adamant stand against moves to suspend collection of excise tax on fuel as way of protecting Filipinos from the impact of uncontrolled price hikes in petroleum products.During a Committee on Energy briefing on the proposal on Thursday, Oct. 28, Vergara, warned that oil firms are not done yet with their weekly price adjustment of their products.
Vergara also noted that the peso-dollar exchange rate is “going up” with the country’s currency starting to weaken.“I am really quite worried that the DOF is not even considering pushing back,” she lamented. Under Rodriguez’s proposal, only the excise tax adjustments imposed in Section 43 of Republic Act No. 10963, or the Tax Reform Acceleration and Inclusion Law would be suspended.
