Press Undersecretary Cheloy Garafil said that based on figures from the Department of Finance, BIR and BOC revenue collections have already exceeded by 2.2 percent the full-year 2022 target set by the Development Budget Coordination Committee. <ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/business/05/26/22/proposed-new-taxes-up-to-marcos-malacaang">Palace says up to Marcos to decide on proposed new taxes to pay debt</a></li>	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/business/12/23/22/palace-marcos-foreign-trips-bag-236-b-in-pledges">Palace: Marcos, Jr&#x27;s foreign trips this 2022 yield $23.6-B in investment pledges</a></li></ul>The Bureau of Treasury, which publishes the revenue performance of government agencies, earlier said that as of end-October, total collections from the BIR, BOC and other agencies had reached P2.946 trillion. This was not enough to cover government expenditures during the Jan-Oct period which reached P4.058 trillion, leading to a deficit of nearly P1.112 trillion.To finance the shortfall, the government has been borrowing heavily from both domestic and foreign lenders. As of end-October, the Philippines&#x27; <a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/business/12/07/22/ph-debt-rises-to-p1364-trillion-in-october">sovereign debt</a> had already ballooned to a record P13.64 trillion.The Palace said that next year, the Philippines is eyeing to secure some $19.1 billion worth of official development assistance. It is also eyeing to secure some $9.2 billion in loans from several development partners and $9.8 billion worth of loans from bilateral lenders. Malacañang meanwhile claimed the higher revenue collections as among the accomplishments of the DOF under President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.&quot;The finance department also facilitated the implementation of grants and technical assistance amounting to an estimated $85.5 million,&quot; the statement read, without elaborating. New taxes are also being pushed to cover the budget gap.The DOF also aims to push Packages 3 and 4 under the comprehensive tax reform program, pass the excise tax on <a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/business/11/08/22/house-oks-excise-tax-on-single-use-plastic-bags">single-use plastics</a>, and the value added tax on digital service providers, among others. <ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/business/07/06/22/diokno-says-marcos-admin-to-tax-digital-services">Tax on Netflix, other digital services? DOF&#x27;s Diokno says it&#x27;s only fair</a></li></ul>Private sector fund mobilization through public-private partnership programs will also be pursued, noted Garafil. &quot;Tax administration reforms will be implemented to enhance tax efforts, maximize the government’s revenue potential, simplify taxpayer compliance and automate the BIR and [Bureau of Customs] processes,&quot; said the Palace.The Marcos administration is looking to spend P5.268 trillion in 2023.<ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/12/21/22/marcos-vetoes-some-provisions-in-2023-budget">Marcos vetoes some provisions in 2023 national budget</a></li></ul>
