Nine out of 10 Filipinos agree that the government should strengthen anti-corruption laws, representatives, agencies, and collective mechanisms to implement and fulfill its international commitment to fight corruption, according to a Pulse Asia survey commissioned by research organization Stratbase Group.
“A very important value that we lack in our governance culture: accountability. I like the Filipino word ‘pananagutan’. Imagine if the public sector is accountable for their actions and their decisions in a more transparent way. Then you know, it leads me to my third word, which is ‘responsive’. Then they become more responsive. The public would feel that this government is serving us,” Manhit explained during the forum where he presented the results of the Pulse Asia survey.
“What we want is institutions of government to become more transparent, accountable, and responsive in terms of delivering public services, in terms of managing the public sector. Because at the end of the day, they exist for the general public alone and for the national interest of the Filipino people alone. So that’s very key,” he said.
