Vice Ganda revealed that she was one of the top celebrity taxpayers of 2022 who was supposed to receive recognition from the Bureau of Internal Revenue last week, but failed to attend the ceremony.
The “It’s Showtime” host made the clarification after a fan asked why he was seemingly excluded by the BIR from its roster of celebrity taxpayers who were given recognition for paying their correct taxes.
“I am actually shocked [that[ Vice Ganda was not included [as] top taxpayers,” one @clarajustafan said on Twitter on Friday, March 10.

“[For your information], yung nasa news po ay mga top tax payers ng RDO (RegionalDistrictOffice) 39. I am one of the Top Tax Payers of RDO 38. I was invited sa ceremony nung Feb 27 pero di po ako naka attend,” the comedian said.
