“Corruption”

What would you think and feel if you’re living in an unscrupulous

country? And every time you hear the word “corruption”, our
government is capable is doing that. That is why there are a lot of people
in our country suffered poverty and harsh circumstances. On the other
hand, many government officials and chieftains had ruled the assets that
made them wealthy but merely belong to our countrymen. I believe that
corruption should be vanished because it’s slowly deteriorating our
economy, country’s institutions’ capability and morality and virtue of the
people.

First, I am against in corruption because it’s slowly deteriorating our

economy. The most popular evidence is the Pork Barrel Scam. Each
government official is given a certain amount to help unfortunate
Filipinos to rise out from poverty and develop to pursue their desired
projects but it never put into action. It was then discovered that the
officials spent the assets for their own personal wants. It could help the
people and the country’s needs but it all went to waste.

Furthermore, I believe that corruption should be vanished in our

country because it’s slowly degenerating the country’s institutions’
capability. Corruption in high levels seriously restrain the capabilities of
businesses operating in the Philippines. Extortion and manipulation by
public officials are in great widespread. In Judicial System, bribes are
common in return for favorable judicial decisions. Extortions are
widespread in our National Police and also regarded as one of the most
corrupt institutions in the country. Smuggling of goods in Bureau of
Customs is very rampant and also the most corrupt government agency.
All of the other government institution and agency also have inside jobs.
They lost their commitment, importance and capability to serve the
Filipino people.
 A final reason why I am against to corruption is because it depraved
the morality and virtue of the people. What comes into our mind when
we hear the word “corrupt’? Often it gives us a presentation of an
official or government agency but that’s not that way always. In the
survey found out in the Office of the Ombudsman that Filipino
individuals and even families bribe government agencies. In our present
setting, this is really an undeniable truth that most individua citizen
wants a fast transaction in a agreement to pay officials. We all knew that
government agencies and officials are prone to corruption but also the
people themselves could be the bridges as well.

In conclusion, there may be specific reasons why corruption is

rampant until now and Is continuous; however, I am fully against to
corruption. Corruption really destroys and devours the perspective mind
of a person to have better life in the future. Maybe some are blinded of
wealth, fame, and fortune but lost the true essence of unity. Lastly, if we
don’t have unity in us thus, how can we achieve our goal to destroy
corruption. Corruption should be vanished in our country.
