Dear Ms. Madrid,
Thank you for your request dated May 04, 2022 01:30:29 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.
The Anti-Money Laundering Council (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. 8160, 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 provide verifications, certifications, clearances, or approvals for fund transfers and/or release of goods, of any kind. It is not a "clearing house" for any kind of financial transaction.
Hence, the AMLC cannot provide the requested "Anti-Money Laundering certificate".
We would like to take this opportunity to caution you that the AMLC will never ask the public for any money or goods in exchange of any alleged required verification, certification, clearance, or approval for the release of funds and/or goods.
We hope we have been of assistance.
Respectfully,
FOI Decision Maker
