NEW BOOK RELEASE: Decoding Property Transfers and Taxes Book

July appears to be exciting and full of hope. With a lot of events happening in the next few weeks and the new administration starting office today, I feel hopeful as I pray for the best for our country. 

The beginning of a new month made me think and reflect on what I can do as an ordinary Filipino to help and contribute to nation-building...

One is of course fulfilling our obligation as a taxpayer thus, the release of this new book, Decoding Property Transfers and Taxes today, July 1st is very timely and relevant.
