The DA, which up to this point is still headed by President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr., wants P50 million in confidential funds for 2024. This amount is on top of the P2.31 billion in intel funds and P2.25 billion in confidential funds that Marcos will have access to under the Office of the President.
Confidential funds are supposed to be used for “surveillance activities in civilian government agencies that are intended to support the mandate or operations of the said agency.”

Ika nga sa isang naunang analysis article ng isang taga-Rappler na si Daniel Agoncillo:
CIF allocations are also a creative way to get around Republic Act 7080, the Anti-Plunder Law, and Republic Act 7659, an amendment to this law.
Samakatuwid, palihim at palihis rin itong paraan upang magkamkam pa ng pera ng taong-bayan, kahit na wala ni isang batas na nagpapahintulot sa mga ganitong kalakaran.
