The Philippines has always been on the spotlight having a perceived corrupt government. It scored between 2.5-2.9 in the Transparency International’s CPI for the last 4 years. However, the Global Intergrity Report of 2004 indicated that the country has moderate corruption architecture and ranked 7th among 25 assessed countries. This shows a glaring gap in terms of reform advocacy and image improvement. Despite reform efforts on both corruption prevention and integrity development, the country remains prone to negative perception, especially from its citizens. This poses a challenge for reform implementers to focus on bridging this gap and to sway public opinion to a more promising outlook.
