Malacañang insisted Saturday there is no connection between the Bureau of Internal Revenue’s tax pursuit against boxing champ and Sarangani Rep. Emmanuel “Manny” Pacquiao with his failure to join the 188 lawmakers who impeached Chief Justice Renato Corona last December. | |||
Deputy presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte said all the BIR wants from Pacquiao are tax-related documents, adding there is “nothing more to it.” | |||
“May nagsasabing connected ito sa impeachment, walang ganoon” she said on government-run dzRB radio, adding that Finance Secretary Cesar Purisima himself had said there was no harassment against Pacquiao in the BIR’s actions. | |||
Earlier, Sen. Joker Arroyo questioned the BIR’s action, asking if it was because Pacquiao did not sign the articles of impeachment against Corona. | |||
But House Speaker Feliciano Belmonte Jr. said Arroyo’s suspicion was ridiculous. | |||
The Philippine Daily Inquirer cited a text message from Pacquiao confirming he was not there when the articles of impeachment were signed. | |||
He also said he hoped the case that the BIR brought against him was not related to his failure to join the House majority in impeaching Corona. | |||
Pacquiao was training for his bout with Mexican Juan Miguel Marquez late last year, when the BIR demanded to see his tax returns. | |||
At the time, the BIR’s regional office in Central Mindanao filed a complaint against him for failure to submit complete tax records for 2010. | |||
Pacquiao has reportedly called President Benigno Aquino III for help and asked him to fire BIR Central Mindanao Director Rozil Lozares for harassing him. | |||
Meanwhile, Pacquiao is now preparing for his fight against American Timothy Bradley for his welterweight crown on June 9. | |||
