LIFTING BANK SECRECY LAWS: Sen. Sonny Angara, chairman of the Senate Committee on Ways and Means, conducts a hearing on the feasibility of lifting the bank secrecy law provisions on serious tax evasion cases during a Senate hearing, Monday afternoon. Angara, who pushes to lower income taxes, said that lifting the bank secrecy law would make it easier for the government to prosecute tax-evasion cases, especially those involving billions, which would contribute greatly to the coffers of the government.
