Influencers welcome tax measure

A group of so-called social media influencers applauded the Bureau of Internal Revenue's (BIR) move to go after unregistered social media personalities and make them pay taxes for the money they earn from brand and product endorsements.

At the same time, the group that calls itself the Creator and Influencer Council of the Philippines (CICP) suggests that the government devises a mechanism that would make tax compliance easier for people who do business online.
