The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) was recognized by the Office of the President for its pivotal role in the Philippines’ exit from the grey list of Financial Action Task Force (FATF), the global watchdog on money laundering and terrorism financing.
“But just because we are off the grey list does not mean we are done,” BSP Governor Eli Remolona Jr. cautioned. “We must ensure we do not fall back into the grey list.”
House Speaker Ferdinand Martin Romualdez praised President Marcos for achieving this milestone, highlighting its positive impact on financial transactions and international trade.
