Infrawatch PH which is headed by Terry L. Ridon filed a formal complaint against Binance at the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) and petitioned to suspend the virtual asset services provider (VASP).

The group addressed a letter to BSP Governor Benjamin E. Diokno they want not only to banned Binance which a lot of Filipinos are using they also want the BSP to reject future applications of the company to register with the BSP.

The group said that there are 3.4 million Filipino Binance users, oh well those 3.4 million Filipino would never vote for you.

Terry Ridon is a former congressman in the Philippine House of Representatives.

Ridon was also the former Presidential Commission for the Urban Poor (PCUP) chair who was sacked by President Rodrigo Duterte for his travels outside the Philippines.

“He was appointed September, [yet he has] traveled about 7 times,” Duterte said in a speech during the Conferment Ceremony of the 2016 Presidential Award for Child-Friendly Municipalities and Cities in MalacaƱang.

“To think the office is an urban poor agency. I simply cannot understand why you had to be there at every pow wow in the international scene.”
