Hello Sir/Maam: I would like to request a certificate saying I could receive money coming from a friend residing in Pakistan. He is sending me money to help me start a small business here in the Philippines and this is only amounting to more or less Php100,000. He will send this through my BDO acct. For him to be able to do that, his bank is asking for a certification from here to receive the money to avoid suspecting it as money laundering. I am looking forward for your guidance and consideration. Sincerely, Angelica Ann Estacio

December 21, 2022 Dear Ms. Estacio, Greetings! Thank you for your request dated Dec 08, 2022 04:53:07 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch. The AMLC, as the central anti-money laundering/counter-terrorism financing (AML/CTF) authority of the Philippines, primarily functions as a financial intelligence unit, money laundering/terrorism financing investigator and prosecutor, as well as an AML/CTF supervisor, in accordance with Republic Act No. 9160, otherwise known as the Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2001, as amended, and its 2018 Implementing Rules and Regulations. The AMLC has no mandate to issue certificates permitting a person to receive money coming from another person outside of the Philippines. We hope that we have been of assistance.
