Tax evasion? There are thousands of highly prominent names in the public and private sectors who have royally screwed the government in this regard and gotten away with it. So why pick on Richard Gomez and Regine Velasquez? Though vexed, I am sure the two will settle their taxes - they have no private armies to fight back – although they have all the right to ask – why pick on us?

That’s easy to answer.
