MANILA, Philippines — The Presidential Commission on Good Government said the assessment of estate tax owed by the Marcos family — said to be at  P23,293,607,638 — had been completed in the 1990s, making a claim by the Marcos camp that collection was put on hold because it was unclear how much they should pay inaccurate.

 

The agency issued the statement in response to a letter from Aksyon Demokratiko — the political party of Manila Mayor Isko Moreno, a candidate for president  — in response to the claim that the PCGG and Bureau of Internal Revenue had agreed to put the matter on hold.

 

In a letter responding to Aksyon Demokratiko and released to media, PCGG Chairman John Agbayani said the BIR had "already issued its final assessment."
