MANILA, Philippines - Powered by a consistent strong performance in the domestic market, Pepsi-Cola Products Philippines Inc. (PCPPI), has joined the elite club of top corporate taxpayers as attested to by an award conferred by the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) pursuant to the agency’s Large Taxpayers Service (LTS) campaign. PCPPI was also hailed as among host Muntinlupa City’s top taxpayers and largest investors. ‘As we now reap the benefits of business growth and increasing market share, PCPPI pursues with more vigor its role as a government partner in nation-building, through proper tax contributions, employment generation, and community development programs,’ PCPPI president Partho Chakrabarti said.
