Today, we celebrate a significant milestone: the successful completion of the joint program of the Philippine Government and the European Commission in strengthening our capacity to fight money laundering.
Two years, ten months and six days ago, we launched the “Training the Trainers Program.” I am pleased to announce that the evaluation indicated that this program accomplished its objectives of strengthening the institutional capacity of agencies and institutions involved in the implementation of AML/CFT strategies and of raising the awareness of the Philippine civil society on AML/CFT issues.
