Dear Ms. Armie Lyn Simeon,

Thank you for your response regarding my request. Here are the additional information you need:

1.	I was an individual earning on purely compensation income for the period of 2014-2016. I do not have any registered business during that period.

2.	I was employed under Communities Bulacan Inc. This is the same company that processed my monthly salaries. Communities Bulacan Inc. is a company under Vista Land & Lifescapes Inc. I am not sure which one processed my income tax.

3.	It was the HR who filed for our income tax in the company.

I hope I answered all the information needed to proceed my request. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Pauline Bianca Nabong
