It was at 4B in 2018 - mostly confidential funds. Past admins' (Roxas to Pnoy) highest was during Pnoy at 2.11B in 2015.
Duterte's intel funds is double that. Justified naman, kasi this admin is in dire need of intelligence, especially in the communications department where intelligence is lacking.
Pwede kayang pabuksan yan under the FOI law? Money without accountability is never a good idea.
Kaya nga parang useless din yang FOI na pinirmahan ni PDigong. Yung mga dapat sana kasi na makikita eh yun ang mga exemptions. hehe
Wala din, nakatago pa din mga gusto nila itago. Although data or info re national defense and security eh understood naman na talagang dapat exempted.
^^^ Correct.
FOI doesnt cover confidential state fundings. A sort of executive privilege.
So whatever happens to those funds, it's not for us to know. We can only speculate or check if it was put to good use -- in this case, I dont see any intelligence so far.

He claimed on Monday that he did not know about casino giant Galaxy Entertainment's plan to build a casino in the world-famous island.
However, a press release from the President Communications Operations Office showed that officials of the Macau-based Galaxy Entertainment Group paid a courtesy call on President Duterte last December 6, 2017.
"Galaxy Entertainment, one of the world’s leading resorts, hospitality and gaming companies, tied up with a local partner to invest in the Philippines. The company is in the process of complying with government requirements to start operating in the country," the PCOO said.

Shows you how discombobulated this administration is. Sila-sila mismo magulo. Related dun sa "satsat muna bago mag-isip" style of leadership kasi eh.
