Corruption as a Way of Life

by Eric Vincent C. Batalla

Corruption has been defined as the misuse or abuse of public office for private gain both in the government and the private sector. It comes in several different forms including bribery, fraud, nepotism, graft, speed money, pilferage, theft, embezzlement, falsification of records, kickbacks, influence peddling and campaign contributions.

The UNidentifies two types corruption--petty and grand. I am inclined to use, on the basis of its pervasiveness, the terms spontaneous and institutionalized (systemic). This spontaneous type can be found in societies observing generally strong ethics and morals in public service.

"Upang maitindig natin ang bantayog ng ating lipunan, kailangang radikal nating baguhin hindi lamang ang ating mga institusyon kundi maging ang ating pag-iisip at pamumuhay. Kailangan ang rebolusyon, hindi lamang sa panlabas, kundi lalo na sa panloob!"
