READ: Ralph Recto is pushing for a steep increase in government revenues, saying collections must grow by 10.2 percent annually from 2025 to 2028 to keep the country’s finances stable.
If achieved, total revenues could reach nearly ₱6 trillion by the end of the current administration and exceed ₱7 trillion by 2030.
The plan relies on improving tax collection efficiency through digitalization at the Bureau of Internal Revenue and Bureau of Customs, along with non-tax revenues and programs like the General Tax Amnesty and the extension of the Estate Tax Amnesty.
The scale of the challenge is massive. Last year, the government collected ₱4.42 trillion to support a ₱5.925 trillion budget that funded education for over 24 million students, healthcare for millions, and hundreds of billions in local government support.
This year, the government is expected to collect around ₱13.65 billion daily while dealing with a ₱4.51 billion daily deficit to sustain spending.
Recto also warned against proposals to lower VAT, saying it would result in major revenue losses. He noted that the projected ₱1.39 trillion VAT collection for 2025 would only cover about nine months of salaries, pensions, and benefits for government workers.
With spending needs continuing to grow, the government is making it clear that cutting taxes could come at the cost of essential public services.
I logged into Pixels and did the same thing again. Same route, same clicks, same timing I had been trusting for days. Nothing felt wrong, yet nothing felt new either. That is what no one really notices about repeating the same energy cycle in Pixels. It does not break anything, it slowly removes choice. At first energy feels like capital, something you allocate carefully. But once you lock into a daily pattern, it turns into automatic spending with no real decision behind it. The hidden mistake most players make is assuming consistency equals progress. In reality, consistency without adjustment just preserves output, it does not expand it. Your farm stays active, but your decision space shrinks. You stop reacting to the system and start repeating your last successful version of it. Over time, energy stops being a strategic resource and becomes maintenance. That shift is subtle. You do not feel it happening because rewards still come in, just slightly less meaning behind each cycle. Pixels rewards timing and awareness more than repetition. But most players stay in the same loop because it feels safe and efficient. That comfort is exactly what locks them out of better positioning inside the ecosystem. Maybe the real progress was never about doing more each day, but noticing when “more” turns into “same again.” @Pixels #pixel $PIXEL
The descending trendline held, and Bitcoin is still in decision mode.
We were waiting for a liquidity grab above to scale into the position with size, but it hasn’t happened yet. So we stay patient.
Tomorrow could be key - the end of the two-week ceasefire between Iran and the United States. The market feels paused, almost frozen, waiting for the next headline.
Most likely scenario:
▪️ Donald Trump, as always, claims victory - short-term market push ▪️ Then pushback and denial from Iran - tensions rise again ▪️ Markets react accordingly: pressure on crypto and stocks, strength in oil
We don’t trade the headlines themselves - we trade how the market responds to them.
Structure hasn’t changed. The underlying move is still intact - DOWN 📉

In a month eclipsed by bad news, we have seen record DII buying in March 2026. The last time this happened was March 2020. COVID saw DIIs or retail investors, if we might call them, come out leg and toe to buy stocks. This time was no different. The sheer confidence shown by domestic investors is noteworthy.

Satoshi Nakamoto’s identity hunt has become a ritual.
A recurring storyline that says more about us than about Satoshi. We want a face. A mastermind. A single architect to either worship or blame.
But that is precisely the point.
Bitcoin was designed to outgrow its creator. No CEO. No headquarters.
Just code. Consensus. And a network that refuses to care who wrote the first line.
Yet every few years, the theories reset like clockwork:
2010: Hal Finney is Satoshi. 2012: Nick Szabo is Satoshi. 2014: Dorian Nakamoto is Satoshi. 2016: Craig Wright is Satoshi. 2018: Adam Back is Satoshi. 2020: Jack Dorsey is Satoshi. 2022: Elon Musk is Satoshi. 2024: Peter Todd is Satoshi. 2026: Epstein is Satoshi.
