BIR SUSPENDS FIELD AUDITS, LOA ISSUANCE OVER COMPLAINTS
JUST IN: Bureau of Internal Revenue Commissioner Charlito Martin Mendoza has suspended all field audits and operations β including the issuance of Letters of Authority and mission orders β following complaints of misuse.
This comes shortly after Sen. Erwin Tulfo filed a resolution seeking a Blue Ribbon probe into alleged widespread corruption within the BIR, including the use of LOAs to extort money from businesses.

GINAWANG PANAKIP-BUTAS?
Hindi na raw mananahimik si dating Ako Bicol representative Zaldy Co at ilalabas na ang katotohanan kaugnay ng talamak na korupsyon partikular na sa flood control projects.
Diretsahang idinawit ni Co sina Pres. Bongbong Marcos at pinsan nitong si dating House Speaker Martin Romualdez na ginamit umano siyang "poster boy" at "panakip-butas."
"Ang ibig pala nilang sabihin sa 'aalagaan ka namin' ay gagamitin ako bilang panakip-butas sa kanilang kampanya laban sa korupsyon."
Si Co ang dating House Appropriations Committee chairperson na in-charge sa bicameral conference committee kung saan nagkaroon umano ng insertions noong 19th Congress.
