Why does the Philippine Government Corupt?
401070
Why? Because the country that installed it was and still is corrupt. America created the Philippine government after the Spanish-American War. Therefor the Philippine government picked up it's bad habits. You know the old saying the apple doesn't fall far from the tree? Well there you go.

No.  Philippines is probably in the top half.  Even with its corruption, insurgency and political infighting.  It is still functioning and has a centralized structure.\n\nSomalia is run by warlords, basically neighborhood gangs with big guns.  Haiti is in limbo with its corrupt government that is trying to elect a new leader.  Its last President was forced from office.  Too much power corrupts even a former priest.

The Phillipines are far from stable.\n\nAs part of the end of WWII Japan was forbidden to raise a military.  We are there to provide them with protection.  Japan wants us there.

non-Filipinos please do not type something you do not understand in our country because it will just make you look bad. Our country the Philippines is under the government of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo who I have to say is better than some of the past presidents. The Problem is that the opposition always finds a way to bring down the Gloria Administration in order for then to take full control of power. Most of corrupt officials belong to the opposition and for this I hate them. The president for me is very educated and has all the knowledge to govern the country. In the other hand most of the opposition is made up of people who have not finished college or actors who does not have all the experience to govern. some of the senators are also a waste for they only stay in power yet do nothing to help the country. I hope to give more power to the charter change of the president to parliamentary system because it will do a big difference in passing laws. It will also do good because the corrupt officials will be taken away from their seat of power. Many people hate the charter change yet most of these people do not even know what charter change is, they don't even know how the parliamentary system works. the following are some factors that hinders the growth of the economy and the country:\n1. Uneducated Filipinos who wants to prove nothing.\n2. Corrupt officials who want to stay in power.\n3. poor people who are paid to rally\n4. terrorist\n5. The opposition. Is it not ironic that the oppositions that want to make a better country only destroys the country by the pointless rallies they make that affects the economy.\n\ngood thing the president is there to keep the economy from collapsing.

The quickest charter change required in the Philippines is a web site whereby the citizens can expose the names of all the public officials committing malfeasance (Wrongful conduct by a public official) also breach of duty of care and public negligence, furthermore it is a public duty to do so and not doing so makes you responsible for knowing and supporting it.\n\nWillful misconduct. Willful misconduct is a legal term that either means:\n \n(1.) Deliberately doing something when you know it is wrong.\n(2.) Deliberately failing to do something when you know you should do it.\n(3.) And not caring whether doing it, or not doing it, is wrong. \n\nWhat I ask myself is:- what can it be that inspires an ignoramus to gain the whole world yet lose their own soul and not see the consequences thereafter of such greedy distress caused to others. Not to mention, the wastage of time and resources of having to set the whole cycle to repeat again and again, of which inevitably reoccurs for the abused forced to endure it. Is this a sign of intelligence? If one cannot take responsibility for the small things then surly how can they possibly for the larger ones? \n\nIt is a public duty to expose those that are guilty of the above and if you don't that makes you a supporter of it.\n\nWhen I look at any Individual, Company, Organisation or Government, and I look at the results that are being produced, the results are a direct reflection of the attitude at the centre of the hub, everytime!  (The buck stops there!) When the foresight, vision and integrity is out of line and not contextual, it spreads down the spokes of the wheel, and pollutes the consciousness of the whole, thereafter fuelling the insurgence and uprising of the populous. Every time! So, what does it tell you about the decision maker’s ability? Are they contributing more than they are earning? Are they earning more than they are contributing? Are they the ones for the job? Just attached to looking good? Think that power has something to do with manipulation, domination and control? Validating the opposite position that they do not have it, if they did have, they would not be taking that position anyway, and what are they going to do with it anyway when they get it? Instead of having things happen naturally which is true power. If there is no integrity, then there is no credibility. Now you know why they resign, abdicate responsibility, or projects, Companies & Governments collapse or fall from grace.if there is no integrity then clearly there is no credibility.\n\nEveryone rises to their level of incompetence and The incompetent with nothing to do can still make a mess of it. Incompetents invariably make trouble for people other than themselves. The less their ability, the more their conceit.\n\nStart by not getting paid to vote! and doing the above

they put up the Obras Pias, a money lending institution for Galleon Traders. It was owned by the Archbishop of Manila. The Obras Pias though ended up as more than a lending institution, at some points in history it became sort of corrupted. It began instigating unfair interest rates, etc. FYI: the obras pias was turned into a bank over time, and is now the oldest, and one of the biggest private Philippine banks... BPI... of course over long periods of time going from owner to owner.

The government of the Philippines is loosely patterned after the U.S. government. It is organized as a representative republic, where the President functions as head of state, the head of government, and the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. The president is elected by popular vote to a 6-year term, during which he or she appoints and presides over the cabinet of ministers. The bicameral legislature, the Congress, consists of the Senate and the House of Representatives; members of the former are nationally elected and those of the latter by district. There are 24 senators serving 6 years in the Senate (in staggered batches of 12 every 3 years), while the House of Representatives consists of no more than 250 congressmen each serving 3-year terms. The judiciary branch of the government is headed by the Supreme Court, which has a Chief Justice as its head and 14 Associate Justices, all of whom the President appoints from nominations submitted by the Judicial and Bar Council.

Corruption is a way of life.  It goes back to the first time someone needed a favor.  Try not to get caught, don't take advantage of the mentally challenged and uhhh...remember to eat your vegetables.

Well,  maybe you have forgotten that part of Mindanao (where mostly Muslims reside) wants to become independent from the Philippines . It's a never ending story down there- a never ending war between guerillas and the military.>>> so, not united.

If they are a movie star, from a political dynasty, or corrupt they do not need to be qualified to be the President of the Philippines.  The people will elect them regardless if they are qualified or not.  They presently have the most qualified person in the country as President and they want to throw her out.  The government is doing better than it has in years under her leadership and it seems some of the people would prefer to destroy all that has been accomplished in order to let the Opposition Party which does not have a plan or a qualified leader take over.  The Philippines is not a Third World Country because it is lacking in natural resources.  It is a Third World Country because it lacks stability in the government.  The lack of stability is created by the people through their street protest. It matters not if they have a President or Prime Minister, qualified or unqualified leader,  nothing will change in the Philippines until the people come to understand laws are to be obeyed regardless if you like them or not.

The government is all about rules. Sometimes what you think is best for you or for anyone else doesn't follow the government's rules. Plus, the government has layers and layers of bureaucracy. Trying to get any meaningful change through all of that is very difficult.

There is too much corruption down there. So they need someone else to blame and why not blame the US.
