T
here are already four millionaires from Davao after winning in the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR)’s Premyo Sa Resibo program.
BIR XI District Collector Bella Bentulan revealed this to Davao media telling them that the program is not a hoax and in fact has changed the lives of many Dabawenyos.
Lucky entries from Davao Region were picked as grand prizewinners last August 2006, August 2007, January 2009, and April 2009.
Nineteen Davao entries also won P5,000 each, and two entries for P100,000.
Bentulan urged Dabawenyos to again take the chance to be the next millionaire for tomorrow’s monthly draw which will be held at SM City Events Center in time for the Tax Campaign Kick-Off.
Entries sent from February to 29 are valid for tomorrow’s draw. However, entries sent starting March 1 onwards will be drawn next month.
The BIR official advised participants to record the control number sent to them after submitting the entry for this will be asked if their entry is picked during the draw.
Bentulan said that BIR has no record as to how many Dabawenyos have been participating in this promo but given that many winners rose from Davao, she thinks that there are already plenty of Davao participants.

Instant Premyo Sa Resibo (I-PSR) is an incentives and rewards program using SMS where every entry gets a chance to win prizes instantly. It is designed to revitalize the BIR’s “Premyo Sa Resibo” current game mechanics by offering a new and exciting way of encouraging consumers to request for receipts of all purchases of goods and/or services.
