THE country has become a destination of illicit funding from four predicate crimes, including terrorism, according to the latest risk assessment report released by the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC) on Wednesday.

The AMLC said the assessment measured the exposure of the country to the threats originating from within and outside the Philippine jurisdiction by analyzing 161,650 Suspicious Transaction Reports (STR) received by AMLC from January 2013 to December 2017, which amounted to over P17 trillion.
