The Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), through their Register File Pay (RFP) initiative, has released a music video titled “Angat pa, Pinas!”.
“Angat pa, Pinas!” is a campaign to change how the public feels about taxes. “The video shows how taxes work to the benefit of the community, to the taxpayers themselves, and ultimately contributing to nation-building,” the BIR said.
The video has earned its quite the praise from the netizens.
It can also be noted that the music video did not show any celebrity or popular personality.
“Nice one. I wish the BIR is as competent and powerful as the IRS. Run after the corrupt officials. It seems that they run faster than you do now,” comments Arthur Arana on Youtube.
“The intention and message are clear. In an ideal world, people would be buying into this. But you can’t blame people if they are not willing to pay their taxes. News of corruption are left and right,” John Doe commented.
“This is nice IF ONLY this is really what’s happening,” Joef Clarin said.
“Angat pa, Pinas!” Lyrics
Oh atin nang simulan
Isang hakbang para sa kinabukasan
Ating buwis ating tungkulin
Ito ang landas na ating tatahakin
Angat pa, Pinas
Tayo ang haligi ng bukas
Ating tungkulin ang buwis natin Pinas
Atin pang paangatin
Bawat isa ay mahalaga
Walang maliit kung sama-sama
Uusbong ang bagong pag-asa
Ating iwagayway ang ating bandila
Malaki man o kukunti
Lahat ay kabahagi
Handa ka na ba sa iyong tungkulin
Pagsulong ng bayan ating mithiin
Angat pa, Pinas
Tayo ang haligi ng bukas
Ating tungkulin ang buwis natin Pinas
Atin pang paangatin
