One of the questions I often hear is: “Bakit hindi umuunlad ang Pilipinas?” That is translated into “Why is the Philippines not progressing”
To answer that question, Philippines won’t grow if corruption is still a common issue here in the Philippines. What is Corruption? Corruption is dishonest behaviour by those in positions of power, such as managers or government officials.

Corruption in the government is still arguably one of the biggest issues in the Philippines.  Bribery, embezzlement, graft, backdoor deals and other forms of corruption have been problems that occur among the leaders in the Philippines. Even if there was a good president it would be hard for him to make good changes to the country because the rest of the officials would not support something if it does not benefit them. Corruption in the government is  one of the main reasons for many other problems in the Philippines.
