The 6.4 percent may be referring to the P6.4 billion drug shipment that reportedly slipped past the Bureau of Customs. The Department of Justice has since cleared former Customs Chief Nicanor Faeldon from drug charges in relation to the case.

As to the OFW cards displayed on the page, it may be referring to the issue of President Duterte’s face on new OFW IDs met with mixed reactions. Critics state that the president’s face on the ID is an example of “epal” (shameless self-promotion) which Duterte has opposed.
