The government expects to raise P80 billion in revenues within a year after the 10-percent value-added tax is increased by two percent starting Feb. 1.


But Jose Isagani Gonzales, counsel of witness Felix Chingkoe, said he doubts that the government is really serious about cleansing the bureaucracy.
