OMB chair Edu said that they have been speculating about this since 2003 but nobody seems to believe it and now that the US is talking about it, Edu says their suspicions are getting clearer..."instead of getting funding from abroad, now they could be sourcing their funding locally via income from pirated DVDs, thus getting away with money laundering violations", says Edu.

Pirated DVDs and CDs in the Phils mainly comes from Malaysia, China, and Indonesia.

It has been alleged that these hot items are used for funding terrorist groups such as:
Al Qaida ---> Abu Sayyaf
Hezbollah
Chechen separatists
Irish Republican Army

Unya kung mao ning source sa funding sa terror groups unsa man ang mahimo sa OMB?maayo pa ang OMD(orchestral maneuver in the dark) kay naa pay kanta"dreamin" ang OMB dreamin lang gyud kutob.Walay action.

ay da kanang gipang bargo sa OMB na mga CD/DVD puro mana mga karaan na stock. para naa lang mapakita na naay nadakpan. hehehehe

Pero seriously, if they want to curb piracy, they should at least make movies esp. local that are worth seeing in sa theatres. And lowering prices. IMO, movie stars are getting too much money.
