“For the Boys” is a phrase loosely used by some government officials and employees in soliciting money from individuals or owners of establishments in exchange for services.
Two former officials of the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) were convicted by the trial court, and the Sandiganbayan denied the appeal of one of them, for asking P400,000 “For the Boys” from the representative of Dealco Farms, Inc. in exchange for the approved and signed BIR forms on tax liabilities of the firm in 2017.
On Feb. 3, 2020, the Manila regional trial court (RTC) found former BIR Regional District Office Group Supervisor Abolais C. Ampa and Revenue Officer III Nora C. Halamani guilty of direct bribery.

Former Tacloban City Regional Trial Court (RTC) Judge Crisologo S. Bitas has to undergo trial on the graft case filed against him by the Office of the Ombudsman (OMB).
Court trial is the consequence of the Sandiganbayan’s ruling that dismissed Bitas’ motion to reconsider the resolution which denied his demurrer to evidence, a pleading that sought the dismissal of a criminal case on allegations that the prosecution’s evidence is weak to sustain a judgment of conviction.
Bitas was hailed to court on two counts of violations of the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act when he, in 2011, granted bail to two persons who were charged with the non-bailable offense of qualified trafficking under Republic Act No. 9208, the Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act.
