00:00The administration's ramped-up efforts to curb money laundering not only seeks to hold into account the plunderers and thieves who stole from government coffers by way of a massive flood control project scam.
00:12It also seeks to restore the nation's repute on the world financial stage as a country that is serious against money laundering, which augurs well for credibility among investors and financiers, as our Clazel Pardelia reports.
00:25Malacanang is stepping up its anti-money laundering campaign, expanding investigations into alleged irregularities involving flood control projects.
00:39This is part of a broader effort to protect the country's financial system and ensure the Philippines remains of the Financial Action Task Force Graylist, a watchlist of jurisdictions with strategic deficiencies in combating money laundering.
00:56Nakatanggal na po tayo si Graylist ng PAT-F at kaya po nagpa-imbestiga ang Pangulo at tuloy-tuloy pa rin po ang pagpapanagot sa mga sangkot upang maging malinis po ang ating bansa sa isyo ng korupsyon.
01:10The palace also confirmed that assets linked to those involved in questionable flood control projects are being targeted.
01:18More than 4,600 bank accounts have been placed under freeze order by the Anti-Money Laundering Council.
01:26It aims to prevent the movement of funds allegedly connected to the scandal.
01:31Ang pag-freeze ng assets, importante po yan. At kung meron mang sino mang kinalaman sa mga korupsyon, ay dapat lamang po na ma-freeze ang assets.
01:42This move reflects the government's broader anti-corruption drive and its commitment to financial transparency.
01:51Staying off the Graylist is crucial, not only for reputational credibility, but also to attract foreign investment and position the Philippines as a stable investment destination.
02:03Unang-una po, nagsisimula pa lang po tayo. Meron na po mga nakakasuhan at sinabi rin po ng ombudsman at ng DOJ ay patuloy pa rin po ang pag-iimbestiga.
02:13So tingin natin po ay nakikita naman ito para mapatunayin ang bansa sa pamumuno po ni Pangulo Marcos Jr. na sinsero po at seryoso ang administrasyon na ito na puksain ang korupsyon.
02:27Meanwhile, the Office of the Executive Secretary is reviewing the 125-day accomplishment report of the Independent Commission for Infrastructure, or ICI,
02:39a report expected to shed light on other individuals allegedly involved in the misuse of public funds for flood control projects.
