                    [Summary] => Trade and Industry Secretary Peter B. Favila is supporting a proposal in Congress to temporarily limit the grant of income tax holidays so the National Government can strengthen its fiscal position and achieve a balanced budget.


The limitation of tax incentives, however, would only be temporary and a sunset provision must be included in the bill so that once government has regained its fiscal strength, it can again aggressively compete for investments through the grant of incentives, he said.

"They are barking up the wrong tree. They should train their guns on Malacañang and not on the legislature!" she said.
