Message of Support for PAW 2026

The Anti Money Laundering Council proudly joins the National Privacy Commission (NPC) in celebrating Privacy Awareness Week (PAW) 2026. This annual observance serves as a vital reminder of our collective duty to protect personal information and uphold the fundamental right to privacy in our increasingly digital society.

With the theme “ANAMNESIS: Looking Back and Moving Forward,” we stand with the NPC in reflecting on the progress made in data protection for the past decade, while renewing our commitment to safeguarding personal data in the Philippines. As technology evolves, particularly with the rise of artificial intelligence, we embrace the spirit of Digital Bayanihan to nurture privacy consciousness and collectively shape the next chapter of privacy protection.

In our capacity as a personal information controller, we remain steadfast in our commitment to the Data Privacy Act of 2012. We pledge to maintain the highest standards of transparency, security, and accountability in all our data processing activities.

We invite everyone to participate in this observance by fostering a culture of privacy advocacy and remaining empowered through understanding of their fundamental data privacy rights.

All Covered Persons to Deal Only with Designated Non-Financial Businesses and Professions Registered with the AMLC

         AMLC Resolution No. 81 dated 09 May 2019 directed the issuance of an advisory to covered persons (CPs) dealing with clients who are classified under the sector of Designated Non-Financial Businesses and Professions (DNFBPs) to demand presentation of their Certificate of Registration (COR) or Provisional COR (PCOR) with the AMLC as part of Customer Due Diligence (CDD) measures under Section 3.5(b)(1) of the 2018 Implementing Rules and Regulations of the AMLA, as amended. Failure of a DNFBP to supply its P/COR is a ground to conduct enhanced due diligence measure (EDD) and/or to re-evaluate the business relationship. On the part of the CP failing to comply with this directive, it may be cited for the applicable administrative sanctions under the Rules of Procedure in Administrative Cases (RPAC).

      All CPs must deal only with registered DNFBPs with valid or subsisting P/COR or may risk being cited for a Serious Violation under Section 2(C)(25), Rule IV, of the RPAC.

       The updated list of Registered DNFBPs as of 31 March 2026 is posted at Registered DNFBPs.

      For the names of newly registered DNFBPs not yet included in the list, CPs may contact for confirmation/validation the Registration Staff of the Compliance and Supervision Group, Detection and Prevention Department, at telephone numbers (632) 5302-3848, 5310-3244, 8708-7067.
