Anticorruption and Good Governance: the Philippine Experience
Authors of the text:
Medalla, Erlinda M.  &  Balboa, Jenny D.
Title of the Journal/Publication:

Main Idea:
Furthermore, the funds for addressing some of these issues may not be totally wanting. These monies are supposed to be used for priority projects such as education, health, livelihood projects, and infrastructure, among others. But somewhere along the line, the funds often somehow get either sidetracked or diminished or completely depleted without accomplishing what their original intentions were meant for.
Evidence that support the main idea:
Sadly, corruption in the use of such monies creeps in. How bad is corruption in the Philippines? The answer, as featured in this DRN issue, seems to be glaringly disenchanting though. Corruption has actually worsened. In fact, it has thrived, and become more institutionalize, and ingrained within the government.
