CORRUPTION
GRAPH AND CORRUPTION
» Technically, corruption covers an entire host of
abuses, of which graft is one. Graft and corruption
are charges that are typically leveled at highly-placed
government officials, who are able to use public
funds to improve their own fortunes due to increased
access, influence, knowledge or power that comes
with an elevated position. An official engaging in
bribery, nepotism, embezzlement, extortion or graft is
guilty of abuse of public trust at minimum, and may
often be charged with a crime.
QUESTION!
1.)What situation or factors caused these
laws to be formulated ?

• ANSWER:
The law and economics of development focuses its attention on the effect that well-functd functioning
legal and judicial system have on economic efficiency and development. Adam Smith states in his
Lectures or Jurisprudence that a factor that “great retarded commerce was the imperfection of the
law and the uncertainty in its application” (Smith, 528). Entrenched corrupt practices within the public
sector ( i.e.,official systemic corruption) hamper the clear definition and enforcement of laws, and
therefore , as Smith (1978) stated, commerence is impeded.

Systemic corruption within the public sector can be defined as the systematic use of public office for
private benefit that results in a reduction in the quality or availability of public goods and services (
Buscaglia 1997a). In the cases, corruption is systemic when a government agency only supplies a
public good or service if an otherwise unwilling transfer of wealth takes place from an individual or fim
to the public sector through bribery , extortion, fraud or embezziement.
QUESTION!
2.)What moral or spiritual bases did the law
makers used for these laws ?

ANSWER :
These laws have a wide scope because the term “public officer” in the Philippine national
and local governments, government-owned and controlled corporations, and all other
instrumentalities and agencies of the Republic of the Philippines and their branches (
ACPA,sector 2(a); cf , COCES, sector 3(a)).

The ACPA prohibits corrupt practices of public officers and certain private individuals ,
including. (a) directly or indirectly requesting or recieving any gift or benefit in connection
with any contract or transaction between the Goverment and any other party etc.
QUESTION!
3.)Are you amnable with the existing laws?
why ?
ANSWER:
corruptions are bribery, inside trading, money laundering, embezzlement which
is the act of dishonestly taking or secreting assets by one or more individuals to
whom such assets have been entrusted, tax evasion and accounting
irregularities.
Corruption is also being practiced by everyone roughly everyday. When
somebody offers you a woman and you do the work because of that offer, you
are indulging in corruption. When you are just delaying the matter and are not
doing the work as per norms prescribed, the man is suffering, though you did
not take money, yet it is one item of corruption. When the people connected
with you entertains you, though you are not receiving any money from them,
but they are spending money on the occasion, that is regarded as a corruption.
I
If you are not doing any work and are receiving monthly pay without any break, this amount to
corruption because your pay and wages are coming out of the public revenues or out of the balances
of your employer, you are indulging in corruption. When you are not taking care of your children and
spending that amount on other ladies who have got no connection with the family, such expenses are
regarded as corruption. When you work like a call girl, dancing girls and a prostitute and are selling
your body to others against money, you are violating the norms of the society and all these items come
within the scope of corruption. When you are deceiving the people and pretending that you are a godly
man and collecting money from them by misleading them, you are indulging in corruption. All those
who are living on charity, those who are not earning their own livelihood and are dependant upon
others without any cause and all those who are showing wrongly that they are poor people and are
taking something on concession rates from the state or from some social welfare organizations are
corrupt people. All those who are bringing children on this earth but are not bringing them up properly
and not giving them proper education, all those who are crossing matrimonial bonds and are having
extra matrimonial relations, and all those who are not taking care of their parents are corrupt people.
Corruption in the government has always been there but the Filipinos are more stunned by the
extent of corruption in the military. Corruption among these people in authority is only known when
some brave hearted persons come out to speak the truth for all the people to know about their
practices. People would always say that public officials who have stolen from government treasury
must be punished with severely.
THAT'S ALL FOR TODAY , THANK
