REFLECTION PAPER
(Corruption in the Philippine Navy Procurement System by: LT Antonio F. Trillanes IV)

Additional cost for specific purposes… Hidden Agenda…. Hidden Desires… Self Interest…. The fruit of greediness… Ignorance of power…
Killer of the progress in ones living…

CORRUPTION! An uphill battle for economic growth and prosperity... An obstacle to the social and economic development…

What is mainly the reason why a trusted person pushes to be corrupt?

Many were blame of the financial crisis we are experiencing right now and this is not new to everybody. And seem to have no urgent actions in eradicating such crime.
Corruption is very prevalent in the Philippines. We can’t deny the fact that most of our officials chosen and trusted by the people around making this “corruption” as their way of life. Corruption is everywhere inside. It prevails in every department of government or even in private institutions even in homes, markets, store small or big companies. And the victims of this are the poorest of the poor. Isn’t it unfair?
People behind this never think of the effect which is mainly the poverty. In which, everyone feels the effect of this; Philippine is not supposed to be a very poor country, we have lots of money, we have many resources, however, that most of its money is being directed into the pockets of corrupt officials instead of improving the country. The money could be directed to improving the country and the lives of the poor or communities projects, such as providing clean water, more hospitals or even add some institutions that will help improve the quality living of a person.
Political Corruption is defined as the use of power by permanent officers for private or personal gain. The Office of the Ombudsman is the official monitoring body of the government.

    Applied Criminal Justice Ethics: Police Corruption

    For that reason I do not agree that corruption is a Western concept. Corruption is most prevalent a problem in the South according to (Transparency International, 2009), while the Scandinavians countries are on the top of that list, most of the sub-Saharan Africa ranks at the bottom of it. Here in America we see corruption in all areas of office; the public and private sectors and also in the government. As we look into corruption there are several things we might considered while doing so. First, transparency refers to “a business or financial situation which is done in an open way without secrets, so all involved can trust that they are fair and honest” (Cambridge Dictionary). Second are accountability, generalization and reciprocity.…

    Public Administration Dichotomy

    I. INTRODUCTION Singapore has grown in many ways over the last 40 years to become a city-state that enjoys a high level of economic growth, political stability and most importantly, a sense of safety and security. It was not a smooth journey, as the country experienced its turbulent periods in the 1950s and the 1960s, characterised by problems of political instability, communist insurgency, secret societies, unemployment and communal riots. Today, Singapore’s crime rate is low by international standards and has declined successively for 9 years from 1989 till 1997. Crime rate has only edged up slightly by 5.2% in 1998 when the entire South East Asia region plunged into financial and economic crisis. The rise was mostly attributed to theft of handphones and cash cards, and immigration offences. Amidst the rapid modernisation of society, much of the transformation from the old crime-ridden town to a safe city today can be attributed to the Singaporean government’s tough stance towards criminals and criminality in the form of strict laws and heavy penalties. Apart from the strict laws and rigorous enforcement, the improvement of the social and economic situation helped to control crime. Over the past 15 years, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) has made two significant innovations in the area of policing in light of social and economic changes. The first being the introduction…

    Political Philosophy of the Philippines

    Graft and Corruption has always been a big problem for the Philippines. Many presidents (if not all) in the past, are solidly accused of creating and approving projects of which the budget is way more than the necessary expenses and way more than the outcome. Some are accused of accepting bribes from various groups of big syndicates that operate lottery illegally. Some of these presidents were greatly affected by all these accusations about their governance that they resort to forced resignation, but some were brave enough to stand by their government and stay seated in the throne despite all the allegations thrown against them.…

    Public Policy - Public Administration

    “Four years into a period of a deep recession and persistent economic crisis, only now has the p-word—poverty—finally surfaced (Albelda, Jan/Feb 2012, p. 11). For those of us that have; a roof over our heads, stable income, health insurance, and have an abundance of groceries in our pantry, we often never think of those in the United States that are below the poverty line and struggling to put food on the table. The battle for the single mother to make it in this tough economy is the policy issue I will be focusing on. The poverty rate for single mothers and their children is only rising: from 32.5% in 2009 to 34.2% in 2010 (Albelda, Jan/Feb 2012). Poverty has always been a concern, however now with the growing population and the increasing rate of single mothers, it has become a problem on the federal level as well as state and local governments. Compared to other high-income countries, the poverty rates for the United States are remarkably high (Legal Momentum, 2012). The United States has implemented a few programs not only to help assist single mothers, but all poverty stricken individuals in the U.S. I will be discussing the positives and negatives that have come out of some of these programs, the organizations and officials involved in the issue, in addition to alternate policies and my thoughts of the problem along with my opinion and thoughts of my ideas for a new policy.…
