MANILA, Philippines – Nagsampa ng kasong kriminal ang Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) laban sa “BGC Boys” (Bulacan Group of Contractors) nitong Huwebes, na sinasabing mayroong P1.6 bilyon na hindi naiulat na kita at mga kaugnay na tax deficiencies mula 2020 hanggang 2024.
Pinangalanan sa reklamo sina dating Department of Public Works and Highways-Bulacan District Engineer Henry Alcantara, dating Assistant District Engineer Brice Ericson Hernandez, at dating Construction Section Chief Jaypee Mendoza.
Sina Alcantara, Hernandez, at Mendoza ay iniuugnay sa mga manomalyang flood control projects.
“We conducted a lifestyle check on Alcantara, Hernandez, and Mendoza. These three ex-DPWH officials had lavish lifestyles. We discovered P1.6 billion in income tax deficiencies alone after investigating their financial transactions, properties, business interests, and tax returns of the aforementioned individuals. This is a clear case of tax evasion,” ayon kay BIR Commissioner Romeo Lumagui Jr.
Ang tatlo ay nahaharap sa mga kasong tax evasion at willful failure to file and supply correct and accurate information sa kanilang mga income tax return. RNT/MND
