On 8 February, The Inquirer reported that the country’s SEC is seeking to better combat money laundering and terrorist financing by requiring greater transparency in corporate ownership and cracking down on dummies – to keep the Philippines off the FATF grey list. SEC Memorandum Circular No. 1/2021 on 27 January to provide the guidelines in preventing the misuse of corporations for illicit activities through measures designed to promote transparency of beneficial ownership; including a prohibition on the issuance of bearer shares and a requirement for the mandatory disclosure of the identity of the beneficial owners, or persons who ultimately own or effectively control corporations.
