MANILA — Despite being outnumbered and outsized by its foreign counterparts, the Philippine Coast Guard's "BRP Pampanga" (SAR-003) valiantly defended a National Museum-hired yacht against harassment at Panatag (Scarborough) Shoal by Chinese vessels, Northern Luzon Command head Lt. Gen. Anthony Alcantara said on Tuesday.
Manila, Philippines – The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) urged boxing champion Sarangani Rep. Manny Pacquiao yesterday to present his 2010 tax records and avoid protracted court battles.
Alcantara explained that this took place on April 14 when an unidentified Chinese vessel approached the "M/Y Sarangani" and demanded that the Filipino ship stop its mission which was to conduct an archeological survey in Panatag Shoal.
Cotabato Revenue Regional Director Rozel Lozares exhorted the boxing icon to heed his request so he can concentrate on
"Upon receiving word of the harassment, BRP Pampanga positioned itself at the mouth of Panatag Shoal and thereby demonstrated to the Chinese vessels that it is willing to protect the M/Y Sarangani," the Nolcom chief said.
his training for his fight against Timothy Bradley in Las Vegas, United States in June.
Due to the efforts of BRP Pampanga, the M/Y Sarangani was able to complete its mission and departed from the area on April 20.
Lozares said Pacquiao need not personally present his financial statements as they can be sumitted through his lawyer or accountant.
"I think they were well taken care of by our Coast Guard when they were out there," Alcantara said.
He said the criminal complaint will be dropped as soon as Pacquiao submits the documents. It was learned that a lawyer of Pacquiao has met Cotabato revenue officials but he did not bring his client’s records.
Lozares said the Cotabato prosecutor’s office has yet to set the preliminary investigation of the contempt charges he filed against Pacquiao. The charges arose from Pacquiao’s alleged refusal to present his books of accounts and for ignoring the subpoena that the BIR issued against him.
Pacquiao’s lawyers, however, argued that their client did not receive such subpoena.
