WHO among us has not heard of the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) running after taxpayers who have allegedly failed to pay their correct taxes? By now, most of us are aware of the BIR’s shame campaign, issuing Tax Watch advertisements that draw the public’s attention towards what may be perceived as deliberate non-compliance by certain individuals or groups.

Other advertisements are geared towards other professions and even top companies.
