Corruption is there, but not all officials are corrupt. (Just like in any other country)\nIt is much much easier to find corrupt officials in the Philippines though. I think tolerance from peers is what's keeping them there.

as a whole I see my country a very cultural place to be in because you discover many things from just visiting one place.Sadly our country has been divided by many groups who cannot settle on one idea to improve the country most politicians want their power just for their own self interest and not for the people. Theirs too much politics. Well at least I see a good a future under the PGMA's governance, our economy is appreciating. I see the Filipino citizens very LAZY and that one factor why the country is not improving, also another is the poor education.

Lots of influence from the Spaniards... They always collect taxes higher than expected... Get the land of farmers... So.. After 333 years of colonialism what do you expect from the Filipinos? Be totally better than them? NAH!!! Your wrong... \nDo you think that the Philippines shold be first or what? It's good that the Philippines is only second not first. It's not in the religion. It's already in the tradition. It's hard to eradicate that...\nMind you... Not every politicians are corrupt... :) Wow good thing... I still think that Pres. Arroyo does not corrupt because there are no issues about that...

Mexico is a rich country whose wealth is being hoarded by corrupt government officials. It's really a shame. Mexico could do so much for it's people if the government only wanted to.

politics in the philippines would never be here or there. i mean, look, different personalities, same old brouhaha... we kept changing the characters but the system remains the same. bureaucracy rules the majority and money is the key to power. however, politics is milder in the philippines than in any other country. but the "don't-care" attitude of it's people lives on. tourists come and go but they almost have one thing to say, the tariff to invest is too much, what with all the bureaucrats dogging you behind, asking stiffer prices than it should be. politicians loves to show their wares (especially during the election). but once in, they tend to move away from the people, unless a lucrative, profitable opportunity steps in wherein they could say, they've given their pork barrel for a cost (but in truth, only one-fouurth of the estimated cost was payed).... so what can i say, THAT PHILIPPINE POLITICS ARE GOING TO THE DOGS WITH THE BEST SNIFFING ONE TAKING THE BACON FOR HIMSELF....

corruption in government is a given. as far as i know the data to support the claim that the number of corrupt politicians is increasing are incomplete. so we cant really say. it could only be that people are becoming more aware of their leaders' corrupt ways.

there is no such thing politics is the very basis of lying and cheating and stealing. this government needs a good restructuring get rid of the idiots there for money, cut back wages severely then only people who really want to make a difference will try to get elected.

At present in Inida corrupt officials and politicians do not have any punishmen at all. they are obny happy and comfortable even when they are charged for corruption. In the case of Government servants , a corrupt officl, while under suspension  pending diciplinary action is more comforable  monetarily while under suspension than while  in service . So to eliminate corruption , rwe should have more stringent punitive laws  . The present trend is that a criminal is more comfortable than any ordinary law -abiding citizen and there are more number of organizations like the human rights commissions and other political and non-political oraniztions that take much efforts to potect the criminals and ensure their comforts and rights much more than those of the ordinary ciizens who are victims of the corrupt officials and politicians.No  body is ashamed of being charged under any penal provison for any criminal act. On the contrray ,the criminals are  happy that they get lot of publicity and support from some idiotic organizations .\nThe only way to end corruption is to elect some non- political  judges directly by the people and to create a special independent judicial forum with powers to take and try cases against any public servant and Government servant . The abolition of poticial parties and the selection of law makers , all Ministers and Governors , the Prime mimnister and the President by lots. That is the   safest and sure way of eliminating  corruption and ensuring that a  very large number of criminals do not secure nomination for election by political parties . Now under the  present system the party bosses could nominate only the best ciminal as candidate for election to public offices and keep the posts of chief Ministers and prime minister etc  for their own family and etablish their dynasties to the deteriment of  public interst .In the years to come India would witness a situaiton where the posts of chief ministers and prime minister and oher ministers would be reserved for the families of the present day political bosses and that those posts would be adorned by the children of the present day poliical bosses and their concubines . The counry will become the private property of the present day political bosses soon.\nThe only surest way to elIinate corruption is to ABOLISH ALL POLITICAl .PARTIES .AND ELEC PEOPLE TOOFFICIES BY LOT .It is mpossible to elect all rogues or fools or dishones people by such a method whee as it is only possible to get corrupt and useless pesrsons alone nominated by he party bosses under the present system. In factissaid hahe party bosses nominate only those who pay the highest amount t them. Corruption starts there itself . his is how he politicians quickly get  into the list of Billioners .

All governments have some sort of corruption, and I'm not sure it will ever be solved.  It is important to remember that certain people are blamed for being corrupt when they aren't and others aren't blamed when they should be.  It depends on who the media hates that day!  Usually, when one politician blames another for being corrupt, it can usually be revealed that (s)he is corrupt in certain ways as well.  Though it doesn't make our politicians right, compared to other govt's I think we have it pretty good.  We could be like Saddam's old Iraq and worry about being thrown into a tree chipper for dissenting.

I have my doubts about that. Philippines dont exactly have a good reputation for having fair minded politicians and you cannot run a bank like a government. Honestly the best way to do this is to have it run by a foreign group with a beneficial goal.
