Recently, the well-known comedian Vice Ganda reminded the public about the importance of paying taxes and their right to demand transparency in the spending of collected funds. At a gathering on Tuesday, March 4, Vice was recognized as one of the top taxpayers in Quezon City.

He emphasized the citizens' right to hold the government accountable for the spending of tax funds. "In every action we take, we pay taxes. It's our right to question and speak because it's our money that has been used," Vice stated.
