RP among most corrupt nations on year 2007, says watchdog


The Philippines is perceived to be among the most corrupt countries in the world, according to a watchdog.

Based on the annual Corruption Perceptions Index by Transparency International released Wednesday, the Philippines ranks 131st out of the 180 nations studied, with a 2.5 rating, along with Burundi, Honduras, Iran, Libya, Nepal, and Yemen.

The index score relates to perceptions of the degree of corruption as seen by business people and country analysts and ranges between zero, which is highly corrupt, and 10, which is very clean.

In the top 10 of the least corrupt countries are: Denmark, Finland, and New Zealand, with a 9.4 rating, at no. 1; Singapore and Sweden, 9.3, no. 4; Iceland, 9.2, no. 6; Netherlands and Switzerland, 9.0, no. 7; Canada and Norway, 8.7, no. 9.

well for now i don't wonder why, it's because, that the new appointed officials is very corrupt starting from the head the president and of course what's the head that's the body. I can't help my poor country only prayers and hope someday that the Philippines will rise up again and be known as one of the very progressive country in global...

GOD BLESS PHILIPPINES!!!
