Met on 17 August 2022 with the Organizational Meeting of the House Committee on Ways & Means chaired by Rep. Joey Salceda. It discussed the set-up of this Committee under the 19th Congress. Also discussed was the digitalization of the BIR. PRA's Bobby Claudio and Google Phils.' Yves Gonzalez were glad that international online merchants will now be traced & taxed.

On the law to tax P20 for every kilo of plastic bags produced, DENR Sec. Antonia Yulo-Loyzaga (Center), rep. from DOF & BIR are all for it but (Phil. Plastic Industries Assn.) PPIA's new Pres. Aaron Lao disagrees & PAGASA batted for involving the public in promoting sustainability and not just tax them as part of cost of production of goods (where they do not feel an awareness and are contributing to the good of environmentalism).

PRA's Roberto Claudio followed by Yves Gonzalez & PPIA's Aaron Lao.
