Plan to tax SMS causes uproar in text-crazy Philippines
Users would be unfairly required to carry burden for a cash-strapped government. :Consumer group. -AFP
Wed, Sep 09, 2009
AFPMANILA, PHILIPPINES - Mobile phone text messages helped cause a revolution in the Philippines. Now the nation's mobile phone lobby is in uproar again over a multi-million-dollar plan to tax texting.
A consumer group hit out Wednesday at the planned tax, which is making its way through parliament, warning the country's 70 million mobile phone users would be unfairly required to carry the burden for a cash-strapped government.
"To rebel against this new tax law is justified," TXTPower leader Anthony Ian Cruz told AFP as he warned legislators seeking re-election in next year's national polls of a backlash.
The bill, proposing a five-centavo (0.1 cent) tax on every mobile phone short and multimedia message, could raise more than half a billion dollars a year.
It has already passed the committee stage of the lower house, and its proponents are now pushing for it to be endorsed fully by parliament and signed into law by President Gloria Arroyo.
They argue the money would be used to boost the government's education budget.
But Cruz pointed out that the government already collected a 12-percent value added tax on mobile phone services.
Instead of imposing the tax, Cruz said the government should cut wasteful spending and stem the loss of money through political corruption.
"Congress must exercise restraint in looking for ways and means to finance government programs and operations," he said.
Industry groups have branded the Philippines as the text capital of the world on a per capita basis, with up to 300 million messages criss-crossing phone networks every day.
In 2001, text messaging was used to gather tens of thousands of people on to the streets for a peaceful revolution that toppled the graft-tainted presidency of Joseph Estrada.

got .... but won't be prime area though .....
I have some listings for 3 room condos in the north that are going for around 600k ..... that's not bad considering that some HDBs are more expensive than that .....they are also double nine titles, but that shouldn't be a problem at all ...... look at laguna park, double nine titles, still can enbloc for more than a billion .... each household will get between 2.1 to 4.5 million each ....

I figure, whether I believe or not, doesn't matter .... what matters is that many clients are believing in it .......
the last two viewing on the weekends, the families got a fengshui chap tagging along muttering into his luo pan ...... I figure, fark, if they are paying the chap money just to view house, I got to be in this business too ......
oh, btw ... I'm also in the flyer distribution service now too .... if anyone of you wants flyers distributed, or would like to exercise while being paid for it, call me ....

that's what I'm doing now too ...... minus the fengshui part .... I suspect many fengshui chaps are also fengshui agents themselves nowadays .... but I wonder if there'd be conflicts of interests .....
so .... would you like to be the launch customer for this one stop service ? ....
