MANILA, Philippines — Senator Aquilino Pimentel III is scheduled to meet with Senate President Vicente Sotto III to clarify Senator Pimentel’s Senate resolution calling for an investigation into the Marcos family’s alleged unpaid PHP203.82 billion estate tax.

Sotto, a vice-presidential candidate, said there is still time for the Senate to convene hearings, depending on the text of the resolution, at a campaign stop in Romblon on Monday.

“It’s a two-edged sword, eh? Ibig sabihin, kapag tinake-up mo yan, baka maging pabor (It It means that if you do it, it may be harmful to certain people, but it may also be beneficial due to the media mileage), “he stated

Sotto, presidential candidate Panfilo Lacson’s running mate, said he is undecided about attending the hearing if it goes through.

Lacson said he will not attend the investigation because he is unsure of the gravity of the matter.

“I’ll have to restrain myself because I’m interested in the presidential candidate’s issue. As a result, this early sasabihin ko mag-iinhibit ako sa hearing kung anuman yung hearing (Me, I’ll have to inhibit because the person engaged in the matter is a presidential candidate). So, at this point, I should state that I will abstain from attending whatever hearing is scheduled), “‘I informed the reporters,’ he said.

Senator Richard Gordon, on the other hand, claims that the Senate resolution has nothing to do with timing.

“The general public has a right to know if taxes must be paid, whether taxes must be exacted, and whether the government must enforce the law. People will cease paying their taxes if this does not happen “Gordon told ANC in an interview.

After filing Senate Resolution No. 998 on March 28, Pimentel stated that the Senate must investigate why the current and previous Bureau of Internal Revenue personnel have failed to collect the estate tax after nearly 25 years.
