‘Fight vs corruption needs more Pinoys reporting it’.  “If more Filipinos report corrupt practices via 8888, the government can do better in its fight against corruption, according to the National Economic and Development Authority (Neda). In a statement, Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Ernesto M. Pernia said greater citizen engagement is the key to curbing corruption in the country.”

Stop bickering and start working, anti-corruption panel told.  “Months have passed since the [Members of the House Anti-Corruption and Misconduct Committee of Thailand] was formed to tackle rampant graft in the country, but little has been done due to the unending tit-for-tat squabbling between its chairman Pol Gen Sereepisuth Temeeyaves, who hails from the opposition camp, and panel members Pareena Kraikupt and Sira Jenjakha.”
