Closed Duterte Is Turning Philippines Into A More Corrupt And Less Democratic State

The Philippines is getting a more corrupt and less democratic state under President Rodrigo Duterte. That's according to recent rankings published by international agencies.

The Philippines is the 113 least corrupt nation out of 180 countries, according to the 2019 Corruption Perceptions Index reported by Transparency International. That's 14 notches below the 2018 ranking and 18 down from 2015 before Duterte becomes President!

Meanwhile, the Philippines slid down one notch in the Economist Intelligence Unit's (EIU) Democracy Index for 2019, to 54th place.

That's on top of two notches it slid in 2018.

Rising corruption means that President Duterte's anti-corruption rhetoric that helped him grow in power was just that — rhetoric. Meanwhile, his death squads and attacks on media have undermined the country's democratic institutions, without helping the Philippines in the corruption front.

For my DDS 'friends" who cannot understand why it's bad that the rating went down:

Bumaba ang rating nya: ibig sabihin mas malayo sya sa top 10...
Number 1 sa listahan ay pinaka magandang bansa, then number 2... number 3... hangang number 180 ang pinaka corrupt. Pilipinas ay # 113. Noon 2015 #95 ang Pilipinas.

hays .iyak na nman to 1 vs 10.fake muse

Mga DdS pa daw gumagamit ng Foul Words. Eh yung mga Tropa nya dito ang mga Nabann dahil sa kabastusan. Mahirap maging Yellow kasi kahit Diyos hindi sila niniwala. Big example si fabbrich

Kita mo awinahe lahat na nag cocomemt dito against sa Post mo, kasi ramdam namin lahat ang pagbabgo. Di ko alam bakit ka nag bubulagbulagan . Kung Si Mar Roxas siguro nanalo na Presidente. Nako siguro ngayun ang Tito ko at Kapatid ko Big time Pusher parin hanggang ngayun. Pasalamat nga ako, dahil natokhang sila ,yun nagbago , kapayid ko nasa Abroad na. Tito ko nag negosyo na ng Beerhouse. So pano ako magagalit kay Duterte nyan? Inayos nya buhay ng Pamilya ko.

awinahe mas ok pa na i-research mo kung bakit namin nagustuhan si President Duterte then icompare mo sa ipinaglalaban mo / previous admin. Then comment ka dito kapag na-naintindihan mona, siguro naman naiintindihan mo, pa-english-english kapa baka wala ka naman naintindihan sa kasalukuyan kesa sa nakaraan o kaya nag-mamaang-maangan ka lang. Dami na nila wag ka na dumagdag. Pilit mo pinaglalaban na itama ang mali. Lol

Bayad lahat nang agianst ni duterte sure yan...

 

[PHC-Metanoia]

Wow. Just wow.

So many comments pero maski isa, walang matinong argumento Palibhasa, puro insulto lang nalalaman. So many words yet without even a shred of intelligence behind or within them.

awinahe Huwag mo na sayangin oras mo makipagtalo sa mga walang masabing maganda or walang maibigay na magandang argumento. What comes out from their mouths is akin to noise. Alam lang kasi nilang rebuttal is 'dilawan' and 'yellowtard'. Pero hingan mo ng argument or counter-evidence wala. Yung iba, panay surveys lang alam ibigay, di naman alam paano i-interpret, or di kaya puro hasty generalization at argumentum ad populum.

Police and military, yes tumaas na dahil takot si duterte... baka may coup against him dahil dictator sya!
Teachers??? hahaha... they are still waiting and they can wait forever. Wala ng pera para sa kanila daw (duterte mismo sinasabi)

I always hope that a very slight bit of intelligence will come to the mind of one of them and lead him/her to start thinking

Your efforts are futile. Not even one demonstrated a slightest bit of intelligence or intellect when it comes to refuting arguments. All bark, no bite. Then they praise themselves and proclaim themselves as the truth since they are the 'majority'. That's how it has always been for them. No person in their right minds can win an argument with numbers. It's won with intelligence and the people you are arguing with, sadly, have none

You are very right... let's say that I hope but don't expect anything from them!
