In celebration of the 102nd anniversary of the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) last Aug. 1, 5 winners at 1M each, tax paid, was drawn thru electronic raffle of the Premyo Sa Resibo (PSR) promo.

Winning raffle entry numbers on Aug. 1, 2006 draw: 000003096029 - Makati; 000002252834 - Marikina; 000002343351 - Davao; 000003283147 - Pangasinan; 000001631395 - Quezon City.

Draw winners will be notified via phone call on his/her cellpone from 338-9777 as to where and how to claim the prize.

Revenue District Officer Atty. Rogelio T. Balaga encouraged everybody, except minors, to join this rare opportunity to be a millionaire. The next draw will be on Sept. 1, 2006 with qualified receipt dates from June 1 to August 31, 2006. Succeeding draws will thereafter be announced in TV, radio and print ads.

To join, identify the Tax Identification Number (TIN) of the establishment, Receipt Number and Amount in the receipt and then using your cellphone, type in the text message in the following format: PSR <space>TIN<asterisk>Receipt Number<asterisk>Receipt Amount Ex: PSR 001895*000842934*550 and send to 9777 for Smart/Talk n Text/Addict Mobile and Sun Cellular subscribers (negotiations still going on with GLOBE) with a charge of P1.50 (introductory price) per text. A valid entry is then acknowledged thru text message and assigned a raffle entry number, while an invalid one is responded that his entry is in error and advised on how to do the right procedure. Deadline for sending text-entries to a draw is 12:00 midnight of the day before the draw.

Every P100 value of the receipt entitles one (1) text-entry. The remaining fraction of P50 and above is round up for an additional text-entry (but a single receipt should have a value of no less than P100). It is important to keep the receipt because it is the primary requirement in claiming the prize and two photo-bearing IDs.

A more convenient way of sending multiple raffle entries in just a single text can avail of the 9778 service of Smart, Talk and Text and Addict Mobile subscribers. This system requires a minimum receipt amount of P350 for 4 raffle entries and will issue a maximum of 1,000 raffle entries per text with a charge of P1.50 per entry, meaning P1.50 is multiplied to the number of equivalent raffle entries depending on the receipt amount in a single text sent.
