The TRAIN Bill is part of the Department of Finance's Comprehensive Tax Reform Program which provides for lower personal income taxes but higher excise tax on fuel, new cars, and sugar. President Rodrigo Duterte previously backed the tax reform plan, which the government is banking on to rake in money for its increased expenditure on infrastructure. (PRIB Photo by Alex Nuevaespaña)
