The Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) lauded the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) for the agency’s full compliance with the requirements of the Inter-Agency Task Force on the Harmonization of National Government Performance Monitoring, Information, and Reporting Systems. Also known as AO25 IATF, the task force evaluates government agencies, with the goal of promoting accessibility of information on programs, targets, and performance of all bureaus and offices in the public sector.

On 23 July 2016, President Rodrigo Roa Duterte signed Executive Order (EO) No.2, entitled “Operationalizing in the Executive Branch of the People’s Constitutional Right to Information and the State Policies to Full Public Disclosure and Transparency in the Public Service and Providing Guidelines Therefor.” The AMLC then issued its People’s Freedom of Information Manual, a guide to the public for requests for information addressed to the AMLC and its Secretariat.

PCOO’s commendation further reinforces the AMLC’s endeavor to uphold transparency and to become a standard in enjoining civil servants to accept citizen engagement and in encouraging Filipinos to participate in governance—a collaboration which may ultimately support the AMLC’s mandate of fighting money laundering and terrorism financing.
