Picture for a moment a Philippines without SM, Metrobank, the Aboitiz Group, and DMCI. Creating such a picture will probably take a lot more time and effort, because it is simply unimaginable to think of a Philippines without these powerful brands. You might even be thinking how crazy I am to conceive such an absurd idea. This thought springs from the passing of the people behind these brands in recent years.
The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) recently issued Revenue Memorandum Order (RMO) No. 06-2019 to provide guidelines, policies, and procedures for renewing the accreditation of printers of principal/ supplementary receipts/invoices.
In two days’ time, we are about to end the first month of the year. Time really flies so fast, especially when we are too preoccupied with loads of tasks that need to be done. It may be a bit too late now for some, but making a last minute run-down of our tax compliance to-do-list for January should not be given any less attention, even at this point in time. So waste not a single second, go grab that journal and desk calendar, and let us start ticking off the remaining items on your list.
A few days back, while I was having lunch with my four-year old daughter, I asked her if she wants to study at the University of the Philippines, where her mother and I studied. Instead of answering my question, she told me that, when she grows up, she wants to work at her mom’s office. “Not in my office?”, I queried her, not because I wanted her to follow in my footsteps, but because I was curious about how she would reason out. She resoundingly shook her head, while telling me that I have too many “homework,” which I suppose she is not a fan of. “What about mom’s work?”, I continued to ask her. She replied that her mom doesn’t have homework, and “all she does are attend meetings (telephone conferences) and text her officemates.”

You heard the alarm ring. You woke up and checked your clock. What time was it? It was still 5:00 a.m. So, what did you do next? Took a shower? Dressed for school, for work? No. Instead, you hit the snooze button, rolled back to bed, and murmured a promise to wake up by the next alarm. Like any other promise you create, you made it. Congratulations for making it on the fifth alarm!
“Would you rather eat a chocolate-flavored poop or a poop-flavored chocolate?” That’s my nine-year old’s favorite “Would you rather” question. “Would you rather” is a game we often play to pass time. It is a game my wife and I introduced to our kids to generate conversations and laughter. It was interesting for us as adults to hear how our kids, at their very young age, make choices and reason out. Oftentimes, the choices are between bad and worse or between something good and better, depending on a person’s biases and perspective. A year ago, at the latest, my second daughter would simply copy the choice made by her older sister but, as the younger one gained more experience, she is starting to make her own choices and her reasoning begins to become more complex.
