Corruption in the Philippines happens even when the laws punishing it are tight. The fact remains that in the country, nobody really gets punished for being corrupt. Save, of course, some politicians whose political adversaries aggressively want them behind bars. But this rarely happens. For the corrupt, no matter how unschooled, knows how to corrupt.
With its ubiquitous character, people are now starting to think that corruption is not bad. In an economy where resources are scarce, some politicians even think that corruption is normal. For some who worked in government agencies, it is almost a culture! One need not dig deep to find overpriced goods, services and infrastructure projects in government agencies. These even in the presence of legal mechanisms that ensures transparency and fairness in the procurement system.
