MANILA, Philippines—The Trade Union Congress of the Philippines on Tuesday called on the Department of Finance to exercise transparency and hold consultations with workers’ groups in the realization of the implementing rules and regulation of the tax relief law passed in June.

Alex Aguilar, TUCP spokesperson, said that the DOF should already implement the law especially at this time when workers and their families are reeling from high inflation.
