Interviewed over the Iglesia ni Cristo-run Net 25 television station yesterday, Mrs. Arroyo expressed her desire to keep Parayno in his post to implement her administration’s tax reform measures, including her commitment to conduct an intensified campaign against tax evaders.


"My BIR commissioner is very good, Willie Parayno. When he was in Customs, he was able to prove this when he caught a lot of smugglers. So we rely much on him for this thing (tax evasion campaign)," Mrs. Arroyo said.

                    [Title] => Parayno stays as BIR chief
                    [Summary] => President Arroyo strongly indicated yesterday that she would prevail upon Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) Commissioner Guillermo Parayno to stay in his post following his reported offer to resign.


Interviewed over the Iglesia ni Cristo-run Net 25 television station yesterday, Mrs. Arroyo expressed her desire to keep Parayno in his post to implement her administration’s tax reform measures, including her commitment to conduct an intensified campaign against tax evaders.


"My BIR commissioner is very good, Willie Parayno. When he was in Customs, he was able to prove this when he caught a lot of smugglers. So we rely much on him for this thing (tax evasion campaign)," Mrs. Arroyo said.
