Palace welcomes survey results on decline in corruption in public sector
August 28, 2015
Malacañang on Friday welcomed the results of a Social Weather
Stations (SWS) survey showing a decline in corruption in the public
sector.
The results of the 2014/15 SWS Survey of Enterprises on Corruption, conducted from November 2014 to May 2015 among executives of 966 companies, showed that executives who have personal knowledge of a corrupt transaction with the government during the last three months of their operation reached a new low of 32 percent.
“The latest snapshot of public opinion from the Social Weather Stations shows a decline in corruption, with a new record low: 32 percent 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 percent. We also note that a record low of 39 percent 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,” Presidential Spokesperson Edwin Lacierda said in a statement.
“We welcome this positive news, which affirms global perception as reflected in surveys, such as Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index,” said the Palace official.
“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,” he added.
