MANILA TIMES: PH NGO accused of misuse of US aid funds
The US Agency for International Development (USAID) asked investigators from the Philippine justice department in August to probe the Visayan Forum Foundation (VFF) over funds the group could not account for. At least P210 million ($5 million) in aid meant to fund the group's projects have since been found to be missing, said the head of the investigating division, Rachel Marfil Angeles. "We have recommended to the DOJ the filling of charges of falsification of documents. More serious charges could follow," she said.
