Excise tax collection for cigarettes

Requested from DOF by R. Padojinog at 02:30 PM on Aug 05, 2022.
Purpose: Economic Analysis on Industry Performance
Date of Coverage: 01/01/2022 - 08/05/2022
Tracking no: #DOF-820744754924

Good day! 

May I request for annual data from 2007-2021 on the amount of excise tax collected from cigarettes? Most available reports only detail to the level of tobacco and not cigarettes particularly. However, for the purpose of our economic analysis, we need information specifically on cigarettes.

I was hoping for something similar to the news article below which had reportedly gotten data from DOF and BIR, implying that data is frequently collected:

Thank you!
