Too much corruption can kill you

Political corruption is the use of legislated strength by government officials for illegitimate personal benefit. Wrong use of government power for other reasons, such as being kept down by force of political contradictory and police cruelness, is not considered political corruption. Neither are illegal acts by private persons or corporations not directly involved with the government. An illegal act by an officeholder constitutes political corruption only if the act is directly related to their official duties. Perhaps it could mean the perversion of integrity.

           

According to a World Bank study, RP now achieved the label of “the worst among East Asia’s leading economies” and to that, we are now in the bottom of the list. The corruption here in the Philippines worsened and brought down during the administration of PGMA. The corruption we are now facing and trying to conquer is uncontrollable. The rich gets richer and the poor gets poorer. What’s wrong with them? They should help us not bring us down. People are poor to a huge scope because of extensive corruption. Those who hold political power is against people’s rights to achieve and keep up that power. A cycle has repeated over the years that passed by. The lingering process of it kept it stronger and stronger. These constant political crises in our country are due to mismatched form of government. We should just have a legitimate change, one that disperses political power of the president to the political party in power as in a legislative body form of government. The possession of governance can last anywhere between 1 day to decades depending the voters approval. Then, the Philippines should just be a centralized government giving regional governments more political power.

 

           

Corruption has become so established in the public life that it is well thought-out as normal. Transparency in government transactions and regular check up on projects are key factors in fighting corruption. Corruption always involves more than one person. On the whole, it involves secrecy.
