Examples include graft, bribery, nepotism, extortion, fraud, and tax evasion. The government has been in constant battle against corruption through political scandals and incidents it never solved. The Philippine National Police is considered one of the country's most corrupt institutions, with reports of officers engaging in extortion and corruption. While corruption in the Philippines can be solved, it will be very difficult as corruption is the norm rather than exception, with most government officials seeking to line their pockets through unethical means from low-level clerks to the president.

    Introduction

    What is Corruption? The most common definition of corruption is "the abuse of public power
    for private gain." This definition can be general, depending on how broadly one sees "public
    power" and "private gain.
    Corruption in the Republic of the Philippines has a widespread problem in the country for a long
    period of time with evidence suggesting that corruption may have been developed during
    the Spanish colonial administration. Examples of corruption in the Philippines
    include graft, bribery, favouritism, nepotism, extortion, , fraud, tax evasion, lack of transparency,
    lack of sufficient enforcement of laws and government policies, and consistent lack of support
    always been in constant fight against corruption and through the years has made a number of
    .
    political scandals or incidents that the government never solved That is why the people
    should act as one sharing their values but also wanting them to be achieved. If we want to
    stop corruption in the Philippines, we should stop all corruptions that are happening inside the
    Philippines. We should fight all the corrupt Filipinos, whether they are politicians or they are
    just simply our fellow countrymen. To the Filipinos these are the values that should be made
    real. Like stopping the spread of corruption in the government. The government cannot work
    without the people and vice versa it is a relationship that should work both ways and the two
    parties meeting halfway or reaching in a understanding because it would be impossible to stop
    corruption alone.
    PNP or the Philippine National Police considered to be one of the most corrupt institutions within
    the country. There are several reports of national police officers and members of the military
    engaging in criminal activities such as extortion, corruption and involvement in local rackets.
    Private businesses also report that they cannot solely rely on the support of the police and half of
    them choose to pay for private security. This problem cannot be solved because the head of the
    problem is inside the institution. How can we obey rules if the Leaders themselves initiates doing
    corruption.

    Can we solve the corruption here in the Philippines?

    We can but it will be very difficult for us because corruption in the Philippines is the norm,
    not the exception. Most people in the government are there to find ways to line their
    pockets through unethical means, from the lowest clerk all the way to the president. We
    will start to elect more competent, honest and qualified people into the government and
    hope for the best.
