Corruption

Corruption is an intractable problem. It is like diabetes, can only be controlled, but not totally eliminated. It may not be possible to root out corruption completely at all levels but it is possible to contain it within tolerable limits. Honest and dedicated persons in public life, control over electoral expenses could be the most important prescriptions to combat corruption. Corruption has a corrosive impact on our economy. It worsens our image in international market and leads to loss of overseas opportunities. Corruption is a global problem that all countries of the world have to confront, solutions, however, can only be home grown. We have tolerated corruption for so long. The time has now come to root it out from its roots.

And corruption is a serious problem and cancer of the society that can’t heal anymore that the suspects of this problem was the public officials or many in public offices that have ambitious way to use the money of the majority. So my opinion and suggestions to this problem was the money of the many Filipinos from taxes or anymore that will use in correct and honest way and so bad that the public servants was the role model of the many Filipinos in morality but also a role model of immorality. So the lesson that I learned in this problem was the corruption, as a youth, have the right to intervene in the programs and policies of the government, especially if it is for the sake of the people in this country and need to correct the mistakes of our government to the next generation, it will not happen and the very root of all, the greed of those sitting in power and government authority not only damage the economy and the government as well as the morality of the people.
