Social Weather Stations (SWS) President Mahar Mangahas shared findings of the 2009 survey conducted. On government efforts to fight corruption, it was evident that the commitment for such advocacy varies across agencies. Higher levels of sincerity to fight corruption were seen in government agencies such as Dept. of Justice (DOJ), Government Service Insurance System (GSIS), and Dept. of Trade and Industry (DTI). Lower levels of commitment were prominent in agencies such as Dept. of Finance (DOF), Bureau of Internal revenue (BIR), and Office of the President.
The forum also featured Professor Michael Johnston of Colgate University, who recommended strategies in fighting corruption in the Philippines. He emphasized that the nation must build integrity from sector to sector, link reforms to quality life in tangible ways, and strengthen transparency among government agencies in order to improve public confidence in government.
