Presidential Anti-Corruption Commission

President Rodrigo Duterte created the Presidential Anti-Corruption Commission (PACC) through Executive Order No.

This was a response to Ombudsman Conchita Carpio-Morales, and her deputies Melchor Arthur Carandang and Rodolfo Elman pursuing a fact-finding investigation on Duterte's alleged illegal bank deposits worth at least ₱200 million as stated by Senator Antonio Trillanes.

The PACC enables the President to conduct lifestyle checks and fact-finding on public officials and employees.

[4] In September 2021, the National Anti-Corruption Coordinating Council (NACC), a child agency under the PACC, was formed amidst the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines.

The NACC launched the Project Kasangga: Aksyon Kontra Korapsyon, an initiative to improve the detection of anomalous transactions amidst scrutiny on the utilization of the government's funds for the pandemic response by the Duterte administration.
