When a political leader lie, cheat and steal, when public officers become a common curse especially in terms of graft and corruption, when public funds go to private pockets, 'corruption' is the graves threat of Philippine democracy and society today. Corruption in the Philippines has become 'a humanitarian crisis.' and scandals increasingly seem to dominate the news. The worsening corruption has eaten up the right of every citizen to good governance, freedom, decent life, and more importantly the dignity. Corruption is a serious obstacles to the social and economic development of a country. The biggest losers are the Filipino people. In effect, the end-users are made to pay for overpriced goods or services or are made to deal with low-quality or substandard goods or services.
In this case, Since it has already become a way of life, corruption has been a part
of Filipino culture. Government corruption is open and even vulgar for
even those innocent individual would have the chance to have an idea on
how this corruption is being manipulated. Recent generation nowadays
have better education – if this current corruption we’re experiencing
now won’t be terminated with the help of authority then there’s a higher possibility that these situation we have now would get even
worst. To prevent that kind of serious problem, authority must take corrective actions to terminate and to punish those who are corrupt person just to minimize graft and corruption
