For instance, Escudero said, the government must show where the P140 billion from the Road Users’ Tax, which he said should be used for road improvements, were spent.collection of VAT is only at 40 percent. “Discretion always equals corruption. Minimize discretion, you minimize corruption. Eliminate discretion you eliminate corruption. Sino ba ang inaatasan para mangolekta ng buwis? Hindi ba’t ang BIR. Sino ba ang inaatasan na mangolekta ng duties at iba buwis? Hindi ba’t ang Bureau of Customs? Hindi ba't ‘yang dalawang ahensyang ‘yan ang pangunahing pinagmumulan ng graft and corruption sa ating pamahalaan dekada na ang lumilipas,” Escudero said.
“Wala siguro sa liderato, nasa sistema…I-identify ang areas of discretion, tanggalin o bawasan ‘yon,” he said. “Mula sa simpleng lamesa o uniporme patungo sa pag-identify ng areas of discretion marahil mami-minimize natin ang corruption at pang-aabuso sa puwesto at marahil tataas ang tax take ng pamahalaan at hindi na kakailanganin pa na magpataw ng panibagong buwis,” he added.
