Sa kanyang ikalimang State of the Nation Address (SONA), hinikayat ni Pangulong Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. ang Kongreso na agarang maipasa ang tatlong pangunahing tax relief measures:

*Pagpapalawak ng income tax exemption para sa mga kumikita ng hindi hihigit sa ₱350,000 kada taon

*Pag-aalis ng minimum corporate income tax para sa maliliit na negosyo

*Pagpapatupad ng tax amnesty para sa income tax, estate tax, donor's tax, at value-added tax (VAT)

Kapag naisabatas, inaasahang magbibigay ang mga panukalang ito ng mas malaking ginhawa sa milyun-milyong manggagawa, maliliit na negosyante, at iba pang mga nagbabayad ng buwis sa buong bansa.

Bilang suporta sa legislative agenda ng Pangulo, nakahanda ang Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) na ipatupad ang mga repormang magpapagaan sa pagbubuwis at magpapahusay sa serbisyo para sa bawat Pilipino.

As part of the government’s continuing efforts to make healthcare more accessible and affordable, the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) has issued Revenue Memorandum Circular (RMC) No. 87-2026, publishing the updated list of Value-Added Tax (VAT)-exempt medicines endorsed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) pursuant to Republic Act No. 10963 (TRAIN Law) and Republic Act No. 11534 (CREATE Act).

The issuance supports President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s directive during his 2026 State of the Nation Address (SONA) to expand access to quality healthcare by reducing the cost of essential medicines.

BIR Commissioner Charlito Martin R. Mendoza emphasized the Bureau’s commitment to implementing tax policies that directly improve the lives of Filipinos.

“The Bureau remains steadfast in implementing tax policies that directly benefit our people. By expanding the list of VAT-exempt medicines, we are helping make essential healthcare more affordable while supporting the President’s vision of a healthier and more resilient Philippines,” Commissioner Mendoza said.

With the latest update, the number of VAT-exempt medicines has increased to 2,277, including 14 newly added medicines. The expanded coverage helps reduce out-of-pocket medical expenses, particularly for Filipinos undergoing long-term treatment for chronic and life-threatening illnesses.

The updated list now covers medicines used in the treatment of:

* Cancer – 708 medicines

* Hypertension – 537 medicines

* Diabetes – 331 medicines

* Mental Illness – 300 medicines

* High Cholesterol – 172 medicines

* Kidney Disease – 152 medicines

* Tuberculosis – 77 medicines

Every peso saved through the VAT exemption helps families continue treatment, purchase essential medicines, and better manage their daily needs.

By making healthcare more affordable, the government also supports better treatment outcomes and improves the quality of life of millions of Filipinos.

While the Bureau continues to fulfill its mandate of generating revenues for national development, it likewise ensures that the tax system delivers meaningful and tangible benefits to the Filipino people.

The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) launched the Ethical Standards and Anti-Corruption Course for Revenue Officers (ESACOR) on July 29, 2026, at the BIR National Office. The initiative aims to institutionalize ethics education and strengthen integrity, accountability, and professionalism throughout the Bureau.

The launch was attended by Commissioner Charlito Martin R. Mendoza, Deputy Commissioners, Assistant Commissioners, Regional Directors, Revenue District Officers, National Office Division Chiefs, and other BIR officials and employees. Pasig City Mayor Victor Ma. Regis “Vico” Sotto delivered the keynote address on ethical leadership and good governance.

In his opening remarks, Legal Group Deputy Commissioner Larry M. Barcelo emphasized that integrity is the foundation of meaningful and lasting reform. He reminded BIR personnel that public office is a public trust and urged them to apply the principles of honesty, accountability, and professionalism in their daily work.

Assistant Commissioner Atty. Daniel T. De Jesus of the Internal Affairs Service presented the salient features of ESACOR. Developed under the BIR’s DARES reform agenda and Integrity Management Program (IMP), the competency-based course consists of three modules covering ethical standards, anti-corruption measures, and sexual harassment prevention.

ESACOR seeks to equip revenue officials and employees with the knowledge and practical tools to address ethical dilemmas, prevent conflicts of interest and corrupt practices, promote accountability and transparency, and foster a respectful, harassment-free workplace. It also reintroduces the Revised Code of Conduct for Revenue Officials and Employees under Revenue Memorandum Order No. 53-2010.

The course will be rolled out progressively across the Bureau, beginning with its leaders and eventually reaching all revenue officials and employees nationwide, particularly newly hired personnel.

In his inspirational message, Commissioner Mendoza underscored that the success of the BIR’s reforms depends on empowered employees who understand the trust placed in public servants and consistently choose to do what is right.

"At kapag sinabi nating empowered employees, hindi lang ito tungkol sa training, promotions, o welfare programs. Ito ay tungkol sa mga empleyadong nauunawaan ang tiwalang kaakibat ng pagiging lingkod-bayan, pinipiling gawin ang tama, at nagbibigay ng mahusay na serbisyo araw-araw. Sana paglabas natin sa bulwagang ito, hindi lang tayo may bagong course na inilunsad. Sana mas malinaw rin sa ating lahat na sa atin nakasalalay ang paghubog ng kultura ng husay at dangal sa ating kawanihan"

Mayor Sotto highlighted the importance of collective action in creating a government where integrity becomes the norm. He likened meaningful reform to pushing a giant wheel, emphasizing that individual acts of integrity can inspire others and build momentum for lasting change.

"We're talking about building momentum to change the culture, to change society, to change our government. But it is possible."

He later led BIR officials and employees in the Pledge of Commitment, symbolizing their shared resolve to uphold ethical standards, accountability, and professionalism.

In her closing remarks, Deputy Commissioner Teresita M. Angeles of the Resource Management Group described ESACOR as a vital component of the BIR’s IMP and a concrete expression of the Commissioner’s DARES reform agenda. She expressed optimism that the institutionalization of the course would help reshape public perception of the Bureau while strengthening the capability and integrity of its workforce. Angeles encouraged all revenuers to carry the lessons of the course beyond the classroom and make integrity a daily practice.

"Let's not leave this place with just putting it in our minds, but putting the principles—especially integrity—in our hearts."

Through ESACOR, the BIR reinforces its commitment to developing a professional, trustworthy, and citizen-centered revenue service worthy of the public’s confidence.
