The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Finance (DOF) released an infographic on Monday summarizing abuses of its employees and those of the Bureau of Customs (BOC) in recent years.

The DOF's Revenue Integrity Protection Service (DOF-RIPS), an anti-graft arm, said that it "scored big" in battling corruption within the department's ranks as well as in the BOC.

The BOC had been rocked by controversies related to corruption and smuggling, which is said to fuel criminal activities in the country amounting to P12.6 trillion in illegal transfers.
