Smart Communications' Tax Exemption!!!

Tax is a financial charge upon a taxpayer (may it be an individual or an organization). Though tax is not a voluntary payment or donation , it is basically the second most important part of the state, next after the countrymen. It builds the nation through the government's supervision. Tax has many forms, property, bank, and of course the income tax, the most popular, and many more. The government get more taxes from the corporate world, those with towers reaching the skies.

The Manila City council has granted a tax exemption to Smart Communications, after the latter's request to be exempted from property tax. Why on earth the Philippine government's bright, super intelligent, and smart officials allow such absurd and unconstitutional act? Is this some kind of the corruption issues of our government? Or just a PLDT-Smart step towards monopoly?
