English: Gatchalian has earlier emphasized that instead of imposing new taxes, revenue-collecting agencies such as the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) and the Bureau of Customs (BOC) need to enhance tax administration efforts as the imposition of new taxes is only to the disadvantage of taxpayers who fulfill their obligation to the government.
Filipino: Nauna nang idiniin ni Gatchalian na sa halip na magpataw ng mga bagong buwis, kailangang pagbutihin muna ng mga ahensyang nangongolekta ng buwis tulad ng Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) at Bureau of Customs (BOC) ang tax administration dahil hindi magandang senyales ito para sa mga tumutupad sa kanilang obligasyon sa gobyerno.
