The Department of Energy (DOE) assured oil companies that they will be reimbursed for tax payments on petroleum products coursed through and used in economic zones.

Energy Secretary Jose Rene Almendras said that the government will pay back oil companies for petroleum products affected by a recent Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) order requiring them to pay for taxes even in economic zones. “They will be reimbursed as long as they sell it to the domestic market. But we will let Finance handle that,” he said.

The BIR issued Regulation 2-2012 on February 17, 2012 for tax payments in economic zones in a bid to curb the alleged rampant smuggling that originate from these industrial enclaves. Prior to the order, oil imports that pass through economic zones were not levied value-added and excise tax on the presumption that these products are not to be sold elsewhere in the country.

Instead, oil companies are now required to pay such duties and file a claim for refund or tax credit before the Bureau of Customs, subject to the endorsement of the BIR. The BIR regulation states that “no claim for refund shall be granted unless it is properly shown to the satisfaction of the BIR that said petroleum or petroleum products have been sold to a duly registered locator and have been utilized in the registered activity/operation of the locator, or that such have been sold and have been used for international shipping or air transport operations, or that the entities to which the said goods were sold are statutorily zero-rated for VAT [value added tax], and/or exempt from excise taxes.”

A plot to remove him from office purportedly by people who plundered government in the past and who would want to return to the “old system of graft and corruption” was bared by President Benigno Aquino 3rd himself on Thursday.

In his speech during the 26th anniversary of the Presidential Security Group (PSG) at Malacañang Park, the President disclosed that some people who were influential in the past are behind such attempt.

“There are some who want to bring back the old system where they amassed huge amounts of money, because they know that we will not agree to that, they want me removed from the picture so that no one will prosecute them anymore,” Mr. Aquino said.

But PSG commander Colonel Ramon Mateo Dizon seemed clueless about any move to have the Commander-in-Chief ousted, saying that they have not monitored any planned coup d’etat or threats to the life of their principal.

“It is business as usual for us. But as far as a possible coup is concerned, that is negative. The Armed Forces of the Philippines is solid behind the President,” Dizon said.

The President did not identify in particular who are the individuals or groups interested in booting him out.

Although Mr. Aquino mentioned former President Ferdinand Marcos, who was then his family’s fiercest nemesis, he did not say whether the late strongman’s family was behind the plot.

The Marcos family is facing several cases of ill-gotten wealth, with a number of its pieces of property already confiscated in favor of the government.

The President also did not attribute such sinister plot to his immediate predecessor, former President and now Rep. Gloria Arroyo of Pampanga province, whose family is being accused by authorities of allegedly massive graft.

But Mr. Aquino said that he was not bothered by reports of any planned coup because he was protected by the PSG, “the people who serve as my shield from elements who want to prevent the reforms that we are pushing for.”

The President is not alien to coups d’etat.

He was barely in his early 20s when his mother, Corazon Aquino, who was then the country’s president, experienced nine coup attempts.

In one fierce fighting in 1987, Mr. Aquino sustained serious gunshot wounds when renegade soldiers tried to take over Malacañang.

Since then, he became fascinated with guns, maybe in hindsight just so he could protect himself at the very least.

MANILA, Philippines – The Office of the Ombudsman has affirmed the dismissal of a plunder case filed against former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo in connection with the alleged questionable sale of a 54.5-hectare property near the Iloilo Airport in 2007.
In a 19-page resolution, Ombudsman Conchita Carpio Morales approved the resolution of the Office of the Prosecutor General on Jan. 20, 2011 dismissing the plunder case against the former President, former foreign affairs secretary Alberto Romulo, former executive secretary Eduardo Ermita, former finance secretary Margarito Teves, former Finance Privatization Council head John Philip Sevilla and Andrew Tan of Megaworld Corp. for “utter lack of merit.”
Overall Deputy Ombudsman Orlando Casimiro, Preliminary Investigation Administrative Adjudication and Review Bureau Director Mary Antonette Yalao and Graft Investigation and Prosecution Officer 1 Francis Euston Acero also signed the ruling.
The ruling was issued after reviewing the findings of the Department of Justice, which also recommended the junking of the complaint filed by one Danilo Lihaylihay for the sale of the property to Megaworld Corp.
In dismissing the complaint, Morales said the complainant failed to present proof of the second element of plunder, which is the acquisition of ill-gotten wealth.
“A cursory look at the allegations made by complainant Lihaylihay shows that he did not allege, much less present any evidence, that either respondent Arroyo, Romulo, Ermita, Teves or Sevilla acquired ill-gotten wealth in the manner described under Section 1(d) of the Anti-Plunder Law,” the anti-graft agency said.
Morales added that complainant’s allegation that there was conspiracy among the respondents in the acquisition of ill-gotten wealth, “is an act of sophistry that the law does not support.”
“At the end of the day, there is absolutely nothing on record that supports a finding that a public officer was the ultimate beneficiary of the sale of the Iloilo Airport,” she said.
Lihaylihay filed the complaint for the alleged failure to assess, levy and collect the capital gains tax from the sale of the Iloilo Airport to Megaworld Corp. which the complainant said constitutes theft of public funds and should be considered plunder.
