Rwanda, the 3rd least corrupt country in Africa.
Philippines drops to 111th spot from 105th place in 2016 in corruption index
Sub African score natin. We belong to 2/3 of the worlds score ie that most countries are corrupt
The President of the Country in the State of Nation Address mentioned again the relentless pursuit vs corruption. Personally at the LGU level where we do business, getting permit is a formidable task and grease money is big time. It has not improved over the years
Compare that with Rwanda which is 48th least corrupt in the world, 3rd in Africa. It has moved up two notches since 2016. First in Africa is Seychelles (ranked 34th in the world) and second is Seychelles (36th in the world) Tied in third place is Cape Verde.... How do they do it? Simplifying processes (we are doing this) automating this as in payment of fines.... However, our employees here have a way of sabotaging the system so that we go back to the manual corrupt system
Compare that with the ranking of the Philippines which 111th among 180 countries. The ranking is one of the lowest in years. In 2016, Philippines rank was 105th. It dived 35 points in 2017!!!! Hu hu hu hu Sabagay, iyan ang totoo. Wala na tayong mgagawa? Sayang dada ng Pangulo
Corruption Perception Index gives ranking of 0 to 100 score with 0 least corrupt and those near 100 more corrupt. 2/3 of the world score less than 50 (meaning many countries are corrupt). Those who rank high are New Zealand with score of 89 and Denmark 88. The least are Syria 14 South Sudan `12 and Somalia (the land of the Pirates) Those with poor peace and order score low on corruption index.
Is Philippine govt really serious in combating corruption? What is our goal? Cant we be like Rwanda? Sino mas advanced at mas magaling ang gobyerno? Di ba mas magaling tayo at mas asensado?
