It cajoled the bureaucracy and even bowed down to its pressure and replaced reform-minded officials without much success. Now, it is employing the stick approach – the controversial lifestyle check.

The analysis was made by Deutsche Bank, one of the Arroyo administration’s favorite underwriters, which said that the revision of the 2002 and 2003 targets confirmed the negative spin on the first half’s disappointing fiscal performance.

                    [Summary] => The August collection of the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) rose by 18.6 percent but still fell short of its monthly target, Internal Revenue Commissioner Guillermo Parayno revealed yesterday.


According to Parayno, there was a marked improvement in the BIR collection across all tax segments, improving from P28.557 billion in August last year to this year's P33.875 billion.


However, Parayno admitted that the August collection was still below the P37.37-billion collection target for the month although he said the gap had narrowed.

Press Secretary Ignacio Bunye refused to tell reporters yesterday whether President Arroyo had issued any official appointment for Parayno.


"I wish I could give you new developments but... we have nothing to announce at this time," he said. "We know that (Parayno) is a strong contender and this matter is still being discussed with Finance Secretary Lito Camacho."

Angara expressed confidence that scrapping the one-fund concept would be a major step to energize the revenue collection effort of agencies such as the Bureau of Internal Revenue and the Bureau of Customs.

                    [Summary] => Malacañang has not yet confirmed if former Customs commissioner Guillermo Parayno would be the next chief of the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR).


Press Secretary Ignacio Bunye refused to tell reporters yesterday whether President Arroyo had issued any official appointment for Parayno.


"I wish I could give you new developments but... we have nothing to announce at this time," he said. "We know that (Parayno) is a strong contender and this matter is still being discussed with Finance Secretary Lito Camacho."

                    [Summary] => The President yesterday admitted she regretted having accepted the resignation of Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) Commissioner Rene Bañez. 


Bañez, the President said, was a "big loss" to the government’s aim to turn the BIR into a showcase of its anti-graft campaign.


Press Secretary Ignacio Bunye said the President will confer with Finance Secretary Jose Isidro Camacho before she makes her final choice of who will be the new BIR commissioner from the "short list" submitted to her by a Palace Search Committee.

                    [Summary] => Sen. Edgardo Angara called yesterday for the scrapping of the "one-fund concept" of the national government to pave the way for the automatic grant of incentives to revenue and other collection agencies of government that overshoot their yearly collection targets.


Angara expressed confidence that scrapping the one-fund concept would be a major step to energize the revenue collection effort of agencies such as the Bureau of Internal Revenue and the Bureau of Customs.
