It starts with an historical perspective tracing it from colonial times up to the giddy heights of the MArcos regime and on to the various administrations since. It analyses the various forms of corruption. It looks further at public perceptions and the role of the media. It focuses particularly on the extraordinary large number of institutional measures that have been effective, Indeed if the level of corruption in the Philippines were related to the number of remedial measures, then the Philippine would be one of the least corrupt places on earth.
