World Bank: Corruption in RP worst in East Asia

[samsungster]

---

MANILA, Philippines -- Corruption in the Philippines is perceived to be the worst among East Asia’s leading economies and the country has sunk even lower among those seen to be lagging in governance reforms, a World Bank study suggested.

The bank’s 2008 Worldwide Governance Indicators (WGI), based on new research released Tuesday, showed that many developing countries were making important gains in controlling corruption, and some even matched rich-country performance in overall governance measures.

The Philippines, however, was not among them.

The country is now at the bottom of the list of East Asia’s 10 largest economies when it comes to control of corruption, edged out by Indonesia which scored the worst in the region in the previous year’s survey.
