Justifying her negative vote, Gabriela Rep. Arlene Brosas called this proposed measure “another regressive tax measure.”
The Makabayan lawmaker also echoed her earlier sentiments made about the bill seeking to tax the single use of plastic bags, which was likewise passed by the lower chamber in its third and final reading. Brosas pointed out that DSPs like Canva and Zoom, which are used to help in learning but are not used under accredited educational institutions, will also be affected by this measure.
