The Philippine Commission on Good Government (PCGG) was established in 1986 to recover ill-gotten wealth accumulated during the regime of former President Ferdinand Marcos. Its primary goal is to investigate and reclaim assets that were acquired through corruption and abuse of power. The PCGG plays a crucial role in promoting transparency and accountability in the Philippine government. It works to ensure that the wealth recovered is used for the benefit of the Filipino people, contributing to national development and justice for victims of the Marcos regime's excesses.
