Padilla wants temporary suspension of taxes on local films: Sen. Robinhood C. Padilla says temporarily providing tax exemptions for films produced locally would help in the fast recovery of the Philippine movie industry. In his manifestation during the plenary session Tuesday, November 8, 2022, Padilla added that granting the local film industry temporary relief on tax could help the industry get back on its feet. “I hope the industry would be given a chance to breathe. We are not asking for a total suspension of tax but only temporary,” Padilla said in Filipino. (Bibo Nueva España/Senate PRIB)
