Tuesday, September 04, 2007 Gov't meets collection goals
PRESIDENT Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo on Monday expressed elation over the reported meeting by revenue agencies of their collection targets for August.
Arroyo, in her speech during the 50th anniversary of the Social Security Service (SSS), said she has received text messages from Finance Secretary Margarito Teves that the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) has exceeded its target and that the Bureau of Customs (BOC) was "only behind its target by a few thousand pesos."
