Solution

Under the Philippine Tax Code, the allowable deduction for funeral expenses is the lower of 5% of the gross estate or Php 200,000.

In this case, 5% of the gross estate (Php 2,500,000) is Php 125,000.

Therefore, the allowable deduction for funeral expenses is Php 125,000.

So, the correct answer is c. Php 125,000.
