House Bill No. 308 8
EXPLANATORY NOTE

The govemment's intelligence fund is supposedly to be used for the
gathering of intelligence. As such, only government agencies and
departments with law enforcement functions are entitled to it

However, recent events and reports have shown that majority of
government agencies and departments, and even government owned and
controlled corporations (GOCCs) are allotted intelligence funds, even those
without law enforcement functions. In a recent report of the Commission on
Audit, it can be seen that some GOCCs, were given more intelligence funds
as compared to law enforcement agencies like the National Bureau of
Investigation and the Department of Justice. The following is a list of some
GOCCs which received intelligence funds for the year 2009:

Gocc Head of the GOCC Amount
Philippine Amusement | Chairman Efraim Genuino P350,000,000

Further, these intelligence funds were reportedly abused by these
GOCCs and used for other purposes, with some GOCCs giving these
intelligence funds as part of the benefits received by their top executives.

In view of the foregoing, immediate passage of this bill is earnestly

requested
