Angara asked to spare socialized housing from tax

A consumer and commuter’s group on Saturday appealed President Rodrigo Duterte and Senator Juan Edgardo “Sonny” Angara to not to remove the tax relief for socialized housing.

In the weekly forum at the Kapihan sa Annabels, United Filipino Consumers and Commuters (UFCC) president Rodolfo Javellana said that if Angara’s proposal to remove the tax relief for socialized housing is passed by Congress and signed into law by President Duterte, the senator’s reelection could suffer from the backlash of taxpayers, particularly the poor, he said.
