Philippines ------------- considered to be the most corrupt country in the world. Filipino people happens to be "BiGGEST Losers" when it comes to economical issues. It is, according to the World Bank, the worst among the East Asia's leading economies since it has ranked 141st out of 180 countries in the world (2008). It is said that our country has improved economically a little now, but this well-known "cancer" remained severe.
Personal interests and insincerity of the government officials to combat corruption --------- the main cause why Filipinos are suffering. Corruption has almost eaten up our freedom of having a better way of living, our rights of being citizens and our dignity. This has affected greatly in the economic development of our country.
Poverty has covered the whole country due to the kind of system of the government that the officials are engaging in, boasting their personal interests rather than answering the loud cry of the need of the people.
Until when would the people enjoy their right to live with equal opportunities? The answer lies on the hand of the leading officials with the appropriate system of governance.
