Jim Paredes rants on Twitter about a lawmaker’s proposal to impose so-called vanity tax on cosmetic products.
The former Apo Hiking Society member expresses his disappointment through Twitter. While satire news and fake memes continue to infiltrate the social media, he humorously suggests that the government should impose tax on idiocy and stupidity.
The controversial “vanity tax” was proposed by Ako Bicol party-list representative Rodel Batocabe.
“Ang lipstick three hundred pesos, dagdagan mo ng thirty. Siguro naman ang isang taong nagli-lipstick ay di naman magiging pabigat ang thirty pesos sa kaniya, para sa isang lipstick. O ang makeup, dagdagan mo ng sampung porsiyento, di rin pabigat. Kung talagang mabigat na `wag ka na mag-makeup, mabubuhay ka naman,” Batocabe said.
What is your opinion about the “vanity tax?” Is this the end of hygiene in the Philippines?
