Background |
In
early 2000, the World Bank estimated that corruption was costing
the Philippine government $47M a year - or a massive $48 billion
over the 20-year period to 1997. Corruption, said the World
Bank report, undermines development, hurts the poor, diminishes
the quality of public services and raises the price of goods
and services.
RIPS was created to address persistent reports of corrurption
in revenue generating agencies of the government that lead to
collection shortfalls. RIPS works closely with anti-corruption
agencies of the government, such as the Office of the Ombudsman
and the Philippine National Police. |
