"LET'S
MAKE A DEAL"
 |

It
should sting our national pride that today the
Philippines - the only country that we have
- is considered the "most corrupt nation"
in Asia. (See One Voice in this issue).

In
a scale of 10 (most corrupt) the Philippine government
was rated 9 and the Private sector only at 4.6. But
make no mistake about it, it takes two to tango. There
are many government crooked deals cooked due to the
participation of the Private sector (contractors, suppliers,
to give two examples).
