PBBM’s anti-corruption drive making progress – Palace
With the filing of various complaints against individuals involved in anomalous and ghost infrastructure projects, President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s anti-corruption campaign is making progress, Malacanang said on Friday.
In a press briefing, Presidential Communications Undersecretary and Palace Press Officer Claire Castro said the administration continues to ensure that those involved in corruption related to infrastructure projects are held accountable for their wrongdoing.
“Patuloy ang aksyon ng pamahalaan upang alamin ang katotohanan at panagutin ang mga may sala rito,” Castro said.
Castro said the Commission on Audit (COA) has already filed 21 Fraud Audit Reports, while the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) has filed four tax evasion cases.
The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has likewise filed 13 complaints and uncovered 421 ghost flood control projects.
Meanwhile, the Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI) has filed one case, with 15 more expected to be filed in the coming weeks.
Aside from the cases filed, the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) has frozen nearly PhP5.2 billion in assets, including bank accounts, insurance policies, motor vehicles, real estate, and e-wallets belonging to individuals involved in corrupt activities.
An Immigration Lookout Bulletin Order has also been issued against 92 personalities and persons of interest.
Castro stressed that, under the guidance and direction set forth by the President, the fight against corruption will continue until “mapanagot ang lahat ng may sala,” and ensure that public funds are safeguarded.
“Tuloy-tuloy ang aksyon kontra korapsyon. Ang mga hakbang na ito ay tungo sa mas masigasig na pagprotekta ng administrasyon sa kapakanan ng bawat mamamayan at pagbabantay sa kaban ng bayan.” | PND
