Despite President Rodrigo Duterte’s campaign boast that he would eliminate corruption in the Philippines , the country’s rating in Transparency International’s 2020 Corruption Perception Index remained at the same level as last year and one notch lower than when he began his presidency in 2016.
By most accounts, corruption has worsened under Duterte and, by his own admission, the coronavirus pandemic and the lockdown to stem its spread have become lucrative sources of graft.
The index, which was released on Thursday (Jan 28) by the Berlin-based NGO, gave the Philippines a rating of 34 for 2020, the same score it received last year and a decrease from the 35 in 2016, which was Duterte’s first year in office.
