MANILA, Philippines — Manila City Mayor and presidential candidate Isko Moreno's offensive against fellow bet Ferdinand Marcos Jr. continued Monday after his political party reached out to the Bureau of Internal Revenue to urge renewed written demands on the Marcos heirs to pay their tax liabilities. 

In a letter addressed to BIR Commissioner Ceasar Dulay dated March 7 and sent to reporters Monday morning, Aksyon Demokratiko Chairman Ernest Ramel pointed out that Ferdinand Marcos Sr., the late ousted dictator, died on September 29, 1989, almost 32 years ago.

“His heirs—widow Imelda, only son Ferdinand Jr. and daughters Imee and Irene did not file the estate tax return with the Bureau of Internal Revenue as required by law. Neither did they pay any estate tax,” he wrote.
