Statement of Presidential Spokesperson Edwin Lacierda
On the SWS Survey of Enterprises on Corruption
On the SWS Survey of Enterprises on Corruption
[Released on August 28, 2015]
The latest snapshot of public opinion
from the Social Weather Stations (SWS) shows a decline in corruption,
with a new record low: 32% of business managers affirming personal
knowledge of a corrupt transaction with government during the last three
months of their operation. The previous record low for this measure was
logged in 2012, at 33%. We also note that a record low of 39% was also
reflected in the latest survey, based on those who stated that most
companies in their lines of business resort to bribes to win public
sector contracts.
We welcome this positive news, which
affirms global perception as reflected in surveys such as Transparency
International’s Corruption Perceptions Index. Under the Aquino
administration, the Philippines has steadily climbed this index, from a
ranking of 134th in 2010 to 85th in 2014. These
figures reflect the reality of our government’s transformation in recent
years: from one plagued by corruption and dishonesty to one that is
committed to public service through Daang Matuwid.
But the fruits of good governance can
only be further reaped through continuity. Daang Matuwid is a task and
responsibility that stretches beyond 2016. The gains we have achieved
only make more urgent the imperative to continue a firm policy against
corruption that is geared for the benefit of our true bosses, the
Filipino people.
