Among all the so-called “nepo babies” of Philippine politics/show business, Kris Aquino stands out for one thing most people often overlook… her transparency and consistency in paying her tax obligations. Whether you’re a fan or a critic, her dedication and work ethics are obviously undeniable.
For those who grew up watching her in the early 2000s, her dominance on television was quite impossible to miss. Talk Shows in the morning, Game Shows in the evening, countless Blockbuster Movies, Late-Night Showbiz Interviews, at may Weekend Showbiz Talk Show pa siya ha, to name a few. On top of that, her endorsements rolled out one after another, cementing her as one of the most visible personalities of her time.
📊 BIR records reflect the scale of her success. Between 2008 and 2015, she paid an astonishing ₱322,098,558.74 in income taxes. Some of her peak years include:
