Philippine Politics and Government is Corrupt.

So this is exactly how Philippine Politics works :
The politics of the Philippines takes place in an organized framework of a presidential, representative, and democratic republic whereby the president is both the head of state and the head of government within a platform multi-party system. This system revolves around three separate and sovereign yet interdependent branches: the legislative branch (the law-making body), the executive branch (the law-enforcing body), and the judicial branch (the law-interpreting body). Executive power is exercised by the government under the leadership of the president. Legislative power is vested in both the government and the two-chamber congress—the Senate (the upper chamber) and the House of Representatives (the lower chamber). Judicial power is vested in the courts with the Supreme Court of the Philippines as the highest judicial body.

Is Philippines Politics corrupt? In my opinions IT IS VERY WELL SO..
It is hard and often a controversial question as to why the Philippines (or any "Third World" country) is corrupted in the way they are. Many would point to the elected governments and their politicians as being the sources of "corruption". Others would point to influential ideologies and conflicting social interests. However, there are those that even state that in the grand of scheme of things any country under American institutions (such as the World Bank, WTO, IMF, etc) influence have been led and even supported the corruption for countries in order for the elites of the world to obtain certain control of resources or wealth (read up on "Structural Adjustment Programs" imposed on those countries by the American-based World Bank/IMF).

It is very sad to see such nations being led down to poverty. I believe the answer to that question is far complex to bear a simple understanding as to why this is so.
The Philippines is one of the 131st most corrupt country in the world most corrupt countries in the world, tied with Burundi, Honduras, Iran, Libya, Nepal and Yemen, according to a survey released by Berlin-based Transparency International.

Some Filipinos are not meant to be politicians, they easily get corrupted by power.
It’s so sad that all the hard earned money and taxes that our Filipino countrymen are paying to our government only end up in the politicians pockets.

Its unfortunate some Filipinos really have got no idea. From the overall corruption of ordinary people to the government.There is a real feeling of something fundamental missing in this country. There's rubbish everywhere, homeless people in the parks, trash on TV and the culture on the surface is a tragic wanna-be American style. From the way the roads are built to just using everyday services such as a post office, it’s always dodgy or difficult. Infrastructure is inadequate, the politics is unstable, overpopulation is out of control and the religion makes people so conservative that nobody is really willing to touch the issue.Is it little wonder as to why nobody wants to invest in this country?
I feel sorry for those intelligent enough to see past all the blatant commercialisation of everything, the way society is brainwashed through all the trashy song and dance shows rather than focusing on the real issues and just the general selfishness that goes on.
It’s obvious that not all people are filthy, nasty and corrupt. But from someone who has lived in another country it is very obvious to see what’s going on. The prevailing misery and desperation which rules in the Philippines can’t be blamed totally on just the people. However, the culture from which it lives in is making it and will NEVER make it any better than a snake eating it’s own tail. How long and how bad will things get before something changes?

No more Queen of the Pacific, Pearl of the Orient. Past is past. Its impossible to bring back those good memories. Don’t just blame politicians but blame for ourselves. All of us are corrupt from highest up to the lowest degree. My grandfather has a point. Destroy the old civilization and have a new one. The one who doesn’t have any knowledge in corruption.

In the past 30 years Philippines has average 3.1% annual GDP growth and population growth of 2.5% which means almost no improvements for over 30 years. REASONS why?1. Politics 2. Uncontrolled population growth 3. Weak educational system 4. CORRUPTION! 5. Inadequate infrastructure 6. An agriculture system that has’t improved in 30 years 7. An inadequate focus on job creation 8. Security 10. Good governance 11. Catholic church. If these 11, and it must be 11 of them, aren’t fixed the Philippines will average 3.1% for the nest 30 years too. The logic of this can’t be denied! THE COUNTRY NEEDS A TOUGH, DETERMINED, VISIONARY LEADER! in 2002 Wallace said “a nine-year presidency gives her a chance for that change”. Well, 6 years have gone and the President has not addressed those issues in a sufficient meaningful way! FOR THE SAKE OF THOSE FILIPINOS WHO REALLY CARE FOR THEIR COUNTRY. IT’S TIME TO ACT!!!!!!
