    A PowerPoint Presentation by Jacob Tolentino


    Graft is a form of political corruption,
    being the dishonest use of a
    politician's authority for personal
    gain. Similarly, political graft occurs
    when funds intended for public
    projects are intentionally
    misdirected in order to maximize the
    benefits to private interests.
    Corruption is a form of dishonesty or criminal
    activity undertaken by a person or
    organization entrusted with a position of
    authority, often to acquire illicit benefit, or,
    abuse of entrusted power for one's private
    gain.
    GRAFT AND CORRUPTION
    IN THE GOVERNMENT
    In 1988, graft and corruption in the Philippines was considered as the
    “biggest problem of all” by Jaime Cardinal Sin, the Archbishop of
    Manila.
    In 1989, public perception was that “corrupt government officials are
    greater threat to the country” than the communist guerrillas.
     In 1992, President V. Ramos considered graft and corruption as the
    third major hindrance towards attaining his development strategy for
    the country.
    In 1998, the country got good marks from Transparency International
    and the Political and Economic Risk Consultancy (PERC), LTD.
     The Philippines then placed 6th out of the 11 Asian
    countries under the PERC corruption perception index
    (CPI), a measure of lost development opportunities in
    terms of investment.
    However, while the anti-corruption landscape in the
    Philippines has improved, its low score of 6.5 still placed
    the Philippines as highly prone to corruption.
    In general, national and international opinion depict the
    Philippines as still corrupt and being unable to effectively
    fight this problem.
    About 30 % of the national budget is reportedly lost to
    graft & corruption every year.
    Indeed, today, graft
    & corruption in the
    Philippines….
    SPECIFIC TYPES OF
    CORRUPTION IN THE
    PHILIPPINES
    There are 8 types of corruption frequently practiced
    in the Philippines, namely:
    Tax Evasion
    Ghost projects & payrolls
    Evasion of public bidding in awarding of contracts
    Passing of contracts
    Nepotism & favouritism
    Extortion
    Protection Money
    Bribery
    TAX EVASION
    This is very rampant, particularly in the
    private sector due to the refusal of those
    engaged in private businesses to honestly
    declare their annual income and to pay
    the corresponding taxes to the
    government.
    GHOST PROJECTS & PAYROLLS
    This is done by high officials of the government whereby
    non-existing projects are financed by the government
    while non-existing personnel or pensioners are being
    paid salaries & allowances. This practice is rampant in
    government agencies involved in formulation and
    implementation of programs & projects particularly in
    infrastructure and in the granting of salaries, allowances
    and pension benefits.
    EVASION OF PUBLIC BIDDING IN
    THE AWARDING OF CONTRACTS
    Government offices, particularly Bids & Awards
    Committees ( BAC) forego the awarding of contracts
    through public bidding or award these contracts to favored
    business enterprises or contractors. Sometimes, members
    of bids and awards committees are very subjective of
    awarding the contract to those who can provide them with
    personal benefits.
    PASSING OF CONTRACTS
    In the construction of infrastructure projects,
    contractors have the practice of passing the work
    from one contractor to another and in the process
    certain percentage of the project value is retained
    by each contractor and subcontractors resulting
    to the use of substandard materials or even
    unfinished projects.
    NEPOTISM AND FAVORITISM
    Government officials particularly those occupying
    high positions tend to cause the appointment or
    employment of relatives and close friends to
    government positions even if they are not qualified
    or eligible to discharge the functions of that office.
    This is one of the root causes of inefficiency and the
    overflowing of government employees in the
    bureaucracy.
    EXTORTION
    This is done by government officials against their
    clients by demanding money, valuable items, or
    services from ordinary citizens who transact
    business with them or their office. This is rampant
    in agencies issuing clearances, and other
    documents, those involved in the recruitment of
    personnel, or those performing services that
    directly favor ordinary citizens.
    “TONG” OR PROTECTION MONEY
    This is form of bribery which is done by citizens
    performing illegal activities and operations. They deliver
    huge amount of money to government officials particularly
    those incharge of enforcing the law in exchange for
    unhampered illegal operation. The law enforcement officer
    who receives the money will be duty – bound to protect the
    citizen concerned together with his illegal activities from
    other law enforcement authorities. This is practiced mostly
    by gambling lords and those engaged in business without
    the necessary permits.
    “LAGAY” SYSTEM OR BRIBERY
    The “lagay” system or the act of citizens to bribe
    government officials occupying sensitive positions in
    government is perpetuated due to bureaucratic red tape.
    The most frequently employed method is offering a
    considerable amount of money to a government official
    who can facilitate the issuance of the desired documents
    in agencies issuing licenses, permits, clearances, and
    those agencies deputized to make decisions on particular
    issues.
    COSTS OF CORRUPTION
    On politics, administration, & institutions
    Economic effects
    Environmental & Social effects
    Effects on Humanitarian Aid
    Other areas, health, public safety,
    education, trade
