To eradicate the mental, physical, emotional and financial inequalities, we, the people, should eliminate our ignorance at once. Ignorance is an intentional failure to enrich self with justly knowhow. Also, it is a disability to apply what is right correctly, and equally, to unlearn what is wrong immediately. To move faster, we must accept 'ignorance' not only as a disability but significantly, a disease that eats us inside out.
Who is ETM?
ETM stands for EMELINO T MAESTRO where the initial ‘T’ means ‘tax’. Biro lang!. T stands for Tolentino. He wrote more than 30 books in the field of taxation; is the Father of Tax Accounting or Tax Accounting Guru to others. A professional tax-lecturer to GMA-7, ABS-CBN, Wyeth, Yokohama, Department of Trade and Industry and many more. Founder of the School for Taxation Professionals, ETM Tax Agent Office, Auditor Ng Bayan -Ombudsman’s accredited Corruption Prevention Unit, and Tax Accountant Society.
Where ETM stands?
Similar to “Kapamilya” of ABS-CBN, “Kapuso” of GMA-7 and “Kapatid” of TV5, ETM believes that although businesspeople, for the rest of their lives, will compete everyday with one another, it cannot be set aside that these people when it comes to taxation are brothers and sisters. Wherever they go either in a foreign land or within the archipelagos of the Republic of the Philippines, still, they carry with them a name that attracts the attention of and really excites any government - the surname ‘TAXPAYER.’ Therefore, for their best interests, the name ‘Kataxpayer’ or Katax, for short, comes in and may mean ‘a community that helps and assists one another in complying with the laws of this Republic.
To tax more, the BIR employs the Tax-evasion Assault, Benchmarking, Letter of Authority, Letter Notice, Oplan Kandado, Tax Mapping, Surveillance, Subpoena Duces Tecum and Assessment Notice. These tactics and techniques are not only too detrimental and damaging to our livelihood but also to our mental and physical health. Definitely, they are contrary to the BIR’s written claims that these enforcement activities are necessary to establish a harmonious relationship and maintain a continual partnership with us.
Some schools and universities’ personnel, and importantly, some BIR officials are so reluctant to accept that the standards and principles such as the Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS) and Philippine Standards on Auditing (PSA) are inferior to the obligations created by our laws. Romancing with these standards and principles, they deliberately failed and still fail to teach and spread the true and correct means in complying with the said laws. They are too complacent that what they produced and will be producing in their campuses and training rooms would match the requirements of the taxpaying public.
Furthermore, we have been the victims and preys of misrepresentation or deceitful-advertising that is (1) all CPAs can compute the amount of taxes correctly, (2) all lawyers can interpret accurately, (3) all graduates can deliver useful reports and recommendations immediately, and (4) all BIR officials have the mental prowess and courage to help and assist first the a needy taxpayer before a civil/criminal penalty shall be slapped against him. Because of these misconceptions that these misrepresentations bring, the graft and corruption platforms are actively tolerated and the worst of all, they are knowingly encouraged.
Experiences.
When I was a freshly graduate from Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila (PLM), I learnt early enough that to get employed immediately is only just a dream. Because my competitors (1) are from prestigious schools, (2) have either a latin honour or came from the top of his class, and (3) already passed the Board exams, I ended up as a clerk cum messenger in a governmental agency receiving a 37.50 pesos/day job when the daily minimum wage is already 64 pesos.
This scenario never changed since then. Majority of the graduating students may find themselves in a less desirable job. Many also from those who graduated last year still have to find a fairly paying job.
I cannot forget what the former Vice-President Salvador ‘Doy’ Laurel has said to a batch of graduating students long, ‘Kung pagpapatung-patungin ang librong pinabasa sa inyo, test papers na sinagutan ninyo at school projects na nilahukan ninyo, siguro aabot ito hanggang second floor ng PICC. Ang masakit nito ay katiting na katiting lang sa napag-aralan ninyo ang magagamit ninyo sa inyong hanapbuhay o totoong buhay.”
What he said is still true today.
The schools had taught us well the ability to think BUT IT DID NOT TEACH US HOW TO THINK AND ACT LEGALLY.
We are in a society where the superiority of our laws is overwhelming and encompassing. Our acts must always within their parameters else we would either be fined, imprisoned or deported. The laws makes us civilised Filipinos, and, without them, we are nothing but just ‘criminals’ or ‘fugitives’.
The employers’ and clients' problems today arise from their ignorance of the Bureau of Internal Revenue’s rules and regulations. If we would only take a moment to study the cause and effect of their failure to comply therewith, we might find yourself in their priority or premium list.
Every employer would like to know that the would-be employee or consultant had already and seriously immersed himself into the laws governing BIR’s plans and strategies. When he sees that you had already undergone special seminar/course/training in the said issues, the chances of being employed and getting the desired pay is within your reach. Voluntarily arming self with true and correct knowledge that is TAXATION may be seen by an employer as a substantial cash savings for him because he would no longer shell out cash for a tax training/seminar.
Saying so, it is better to advertise to your potential employers and clients that (1) YOU KNOW THE LAW and (2) YOU CAN USE THE LAW EITHER TO SOLVE HIS PROBLEMS OR PREVENT A POSSIBLE PROBLEM TO OCCUR.

What is a CAMPUS TO CONFERENCE PROGRAM? It is systematic approach in increasing the corporate/business value of a would-be employee or Taxation Professional by way of aligning his knowledge and knowhow in solving the chronic and operational problems of his potential employer or client.
