The Philippines scored 8.06 in the 2010 survey, indicating that--against its neighbors in the region--it swung from worst to bad. In 2009, its score of 7.0 landed it on the 6th most corrupt spot. In 2008, it was ranked the most corrupt.
The survey was conducted by the Hong Kong-based Political & Economic Risk Consultancy, which provides strategic business information and analysis for companies doing business in East and Southeast Asia.
The PERC's corruption survey polled 2,174 middle, senior, and expatriate business executives in Asia, Australia and the United States.
Neighbors
Indonesia scored 9.07 out of 10 as the most corrupt nation in the 2010 survey, up from 7.69 points a year ago.
Cambodia was ranked second most corrupt, followed by Vietnam, the Philippines, Thailand, India, China, Malaysia, Taiwan, South Korea, Macao, Japan, the United States, Hong Kong, Australia and -- rated as the least corrupt in the survey -- Singapore.
The survey looked at how corruption affected different levels of political leadership and the civil service, and how major institutions fared in terms of corruption.
It also examined how corruption is perceived to affect the overall business environment, and how easy or difficult it is for companies to deal with the problem internally and externally when they encounter it.
On a scale of zero to 10, zero is the best possible score, indicating the lowest level of corruption among politicians and civil servants. - With reports from Reuters and Agence France-Presse

God's Kingdom Is The Answer
There is no hope for these wicked system of things:
Satan showed to Jesus Christ all the Kingdom of the earth and he said:
" I will give you all of these Kingdom of the earth because it has already given unto me and to whom I wish, I will give it. If you will show worship in me, I will give it to you.
Sa madaling salita si Satanas ang nagmamay-ari sa lahat ng bulok na sistemang ito. Kung ikaw ay ang PINAKAMATAAS NA PINUNO ng Relihiyon papayag kaba na kasabwat mo si Satanas? O nabulagan ka lang?
Ang lunas? : Our father in heaven, holy be thy name, THY KINGDOM COME, THY WILL BE DONE IN EARTH ALSO UPON HEAVEN: Ang kaharian na ito na pinapanalangin sa atin ni Jesus ay siyang papalit sa laht ng Kaharian sa Lupa at gayon din sa Langit.
Pls. read in your Bible": Mathew 24: 4-14 for the answer. and Lucas 4:5-8.

Only hope is a military coup
Only hope is a military coup and elimination of corrupt officials and all their cronies. Then a gradual return to a real democracy. Anything less has a zero chance of success - and the destruction of the Philippines will continue no matter which clowns are elected.
4th most corrupt in AsiaPac
Why am I not suprised ?????
When I see all the promises the politicians make right now I throw up. The first think they should serioulsy takle is the corruption.
Of course it takes an honest politician to do so, and that I think, is where the problem starts, everyone of them has only 3 targets:
How to get rich and get all my relatives or some dingos into a job so that I can controll the nation.
Lie as much as you can get away with and dont get caught.
Dont care about the people who elected me.
Shoot them all and start all new, with hones people, there got to be a few around.
