A former president now in prison for stealing from the national coffer and accepting gambling payback which was worth almost a billion peso; an administration on the rocks because of high government officials allegedly involved in a scandal over a certain Chinese company. Without a doubt, corruption is omnipresent in our society.
Encarta Encyclopedia discussed that corruption is a “wrongdoing” done by people entrusted in a certain position, whether be it elected or appointed, in public or private office. This term is a common adjective applied to those people who benefits themselves while in the post. Here in the Philippines , these people are called buwaya since they used to stash up as much money as they can while they are holding their power and influence. What is worse is that corruption deprives people, especially the ordinary mass, of a better life. Instead of using the money for building schools and infrastructure, improving education, health, and other social services, what happens to the money entrusted to them is ending up in the fat and hidden bank accounts under cryptic and non-existent names.
