The act will provide government funds to stimulate the economy while strengthening the health sector and the government's pandemic responses.[9]

Supreme Court decision

The Supreme Court, in a decision dated December 7, 2021 and only publicized in September 2022, declared unconstitutional two subsections which imposed new taxes on Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator licensees: Section 11(f) (5% franchise tax on gaming operations) and Section 11(g) (taxes on non-gaming operations, including income and VAT). The court noted that POGOs are not liable for taxes prior to the enactment of Republic Act No. 11590 in September 2021.[10]
