i feel so humiliating to those people who didn't accept Philippines as the most corrupt country in asia... To those kind of people, are you blind? Why dont you open your eyes and accept the reality... poverty is the main guidelines to judge a country for corruption... how many filipinos are not eating in time and no house for a shelter? Isn't it a simple proof that we are no.1 in corruption? To those who dont agree on my perception, my post is widely open for your comments, and for those who agree with me, help me explain this reality... peace!

Yes i do believe u that's why Philippines encounter poverty nowadays, a lot of people dont have work even they finished college it still hard to find a job thats why im here in other country working cuz i know in Phil i will not grow.
if phil is progressive why there's a lot of people experience real hard time in life, i seen a lot of street children's and beggar and government still not solving this kind of poverty. You'r right dude

Thanks for compliments my friend. You know what sometime everytime im chatting with other races, I feel so humiliating with my country. Especially when im letting them talk about what their country has to protect its citizens. I always asking myself why do Filipinos let this fraud happen to us even do they have a lot of chances to improve everyones life.

Here are some figures. Hope this would help. Despite the much publicized efforts by the Arroyo administration to curb corruption, foreign businessmen perceive the philippines to be the most corrupt economy among 13 countries and territories across asia.
The philippines replaced Indonesia as the country "with the distinction of being perceived in the worst light this year. PERC (Political and Economic Risk Consultancy) said in a summary of its survey that was made available.
PERC, which provides advice to private firms and governments, polled 1,476 expatriate businessman in the region in January and February. Of the total, more than 100 were based in the philippines. The survey also found some countries were failing properly to tackle corruption.
In a grading system with zero as the best possible score and 10 the worst, the philippines got 9.40, worsening sharply from its grade of 7.80 last year. Indonesia had been deemed Asia's most corrupt country in 2006.
It is bad and has been bad all along. People are just growing tired of the inaction and insincerity of leading officials when they promise to fight corruption.
