I'm from the Philippines, and I'm certainly not proud of what our government has become (or always has been).
Even before I was born, hundreds of politicians in my country were known as corrupt, but we can never really do anything about it --but we learn it in our history books. Now, I'm in college and nothing has changed.
I don't believe corruption will totally be eradicated from my country, not in a billion years. There may be a chance to have more decent politicians than corrupt ones, but yes, there will always be corrupt ones. We, as a species, will never run out of our (un)fair share of liars, thieves, and evil men. It's just unfortunate that most of them get into public "service."

if you don't think so, can you explain how to solve that problem? at least it starts from your selves?
I like that you mentioned starting from yourself. In highly corrupt countries, the corruption runs very deep. You can see corruption on all levels. Many people complain about corruption in the government, but they don't think about how they themselves are corrupt. If it bothers you that the prime minister accepts a bribe, you shouldn't be giving bribes to police officers to get out of speeding tickets. When you do that, you are just fueling the system. The first thing should be to stop giving and receiving bribes yourself. I'm not sure that corruption can be completely erased from a country, but I think it can be completely removed from the mainstream. June 05, 2018, 09:42:59 PM
Since 1960 when we got our independence, we have had the greatest threat to our democracy 'corruption' after series of administration coming and going all with the promisese to fight corruption but has failed. Corruption is a cancar warm that has eaten deep into our political system. In my own view i dont think corruption can be stopped or completely eradicated but can be curb to the bearest minimum. Some of the strategies i will propose to curb corruption are that renumerations of public office holders should be cut down drastically, institutions and structures should be put in place to punish corrupt individuals, our judicial system should be completely autonomous and free from the influence of the executives.

Do I think that corruption can be deleted totally in my country?
No! Even if everybody stopped being bad, and everybody became good in every way, "corruption" would still be in the dictionaries.

I think that in order to limit corruption, the political system must be simple, not bulky. Because the more cumbersome, the more corrupt. In addition to curbing corruption, the law against corruption, corruption and corruption will be imposed.

Corruption have eaten dip in to the marrow of my country and as such can not be deleted totally, the high rate of corruption in my country has move to every sector, the leaders are so corrupt that the citizens can not help matters again than to join the corruption, in our schools students don't study their books again because they will always use their money to bribe the lecturers to pass their courses, the few students that desires to study will always be frustrated by the wicked lecturers who ask for money before students can pass their courses. I don't think this type corruption can be totally deleted

I think it's depend on how government focus on corruption and what the government rules and penalty happen to the persons who commit corruption.
Most of the people want a money, they can do everything for the big amount of money. For they to gain the fame of they neighborhood or relatives. They do it even if they can hurt feelings of other. They do not care about what others do for them to gain that money. All they want is money . And i think Money is the reason why most of the people doing bad things just to have it all. They almost die to have money but they corrupted by other people who has no heart and full of laziness.

Corruption is a serious political concern that involves the usage of people's funds in a government officials' personal use. It is a criminal act that anyone who commits shall be punished in accordance to what the law states. But do we think that corruption can be totally deleted in our country? Personally, I think it would be difficult to eradicate corruption now in our country but that does not mean that it is not possible in the future. The system of today is hard to change especially that most of the politicians who are in current position are so-called "traditional politicians" in whicj most of them commit that crime. But I do believe that if we train and educate the youth eho will be going to be the leaders of tomorrow, then we could mold them into a new and great politicians whom will not be involved in corruption.

Corruption has eaten deep to the root of my country but I still belief that it can be eradicated completely. Majority of the countries we look up to today once had issues with corruption in the past. If the leadership of my country is sincerely ready to tackle corruption headlong, then it would be a thing of the past.

Actually, it is really possible. But it will take a lot of years to eradicate totally the corruption here in our country. Specially, most of our government officials are very selfish and only think of their self-interest. If all of us have fear on God and have care to other people, then corruption would never be a problem.

If corruption in my country will vanished then it a good sign that my country would be more progressive.But i do not really think that corruption will be totally eliminated.

I'm sure corruption can be curbed in my country, but it will take a long time and lots of resources. First we will need to remove corrupt politicians and then work our way down to small time corrupt people in government services.
You are right. The cull needs to be started from the top. Rather than targeting the lower-rung officials, we should go after the elected officials who are engaging in high-level corruption. If the most powerful are punished, then the lower-rung officials will realize that no one is safe from prosecution and most of them would stop taking bribes by default.

I don't think it can be deleted totally, it could be legitimized or hidden. People are always greedy. As cryptocurrency is more and more popular, government officials can accept bitcoin or eth for bribery which makes it more difficult to track down the corruption. In the past I need a case to hold 1 millions dollars cash, but how about 100 bitcoin now?

A big No! Cause my country philippines is one of the worst or top country when it comes to corruption even we have good president. there's a lot people here or group want to become rich fast by using corruption or abusing they're position in goverment.
January 02, 2018, 12:07:39 PM
In the Philippines, i believe that the corruption can only end if all the government officials will replace by another people and have a strong implementation of law.
January 02, 2018, 11:20:39 AM
not at all..since corruption is every where..its hard to eliminate
mostly from the politicians.
since money is hard to earn ppl will always find easy unethical ways to earn money and get rich quickly..
corruption will exists forever i guess.

No, never .They will never stop corruption. They will die if they are not corrupt
Right. Simple answer is no. Greed can seep into anyone in power and it can't entirely be rooted out. And as long as there is greed, there will always be corruption.
December 31, 2017, 07:41:10 AM
yes but we must purge all the people and use new system

I don't think so. People will always be greedy when it comes to money. If it can be really deleted, the politicians who are in their own position must have done it but there's no one who can start it because of money. They are grabbing their opportunity to be wealthy. Not only in the government but even in offices, for example, bringing home new bond paper and other stuffs is a corruption. People will do things for their benefit.
