Imagine you're just selling for a mere Php100-1000 and you still need to register and pay tax? That's insane IMO!
The tax was just for online sellers that earning over Php 250,000. It's like a business with no permit so I'm favored to that. It's unfair to those small store owners that paying for tax and then those big online sellers can freely lurk away to it.
There is no registration needed for small online sellers.
About the topic, it's not just the government that should be blamed for this. I'm on the road everyday especially during the implementation of lockdown in Manila and I see that many people don't really follow the stay-at-home protocol. Lots of places in Manila treating the virus lightly. Lots of children play outside.
I'm not that blind though about the shitty act of DOH, IATF, and DILG but if we will just put our future in their hands, we will all be doomed. Right especially at the start of lockdown, my family did some financial planning in case of a big emergency.
Be positive guys, not with the virus but for ourselves. Let's hope for the best.
Honestly, people in the Philippines are disorganize and stubborn when it comes to the rules and regulations about this pandemic and they don't even follow those simple protocols of social distancing and wearing of face masks. Even those government officials who violated the rules didn't receive any punishments, that's how broken the government here.
The sad truth - majority here are intelligent.
