520			_a"CORRUPTION is an issue as old as governance itself. Filipinos therefore tend to be cynical about the corruption in government. They are not shocked that public officials are corrupt, although they may sometimes marvel at the magnitude of the thievery. Yet more Filipinos are now raising issues about the effectiveness of government institutions and the transparency of government agencies. They have realized that the democracy in itself does not ensue that the government officials and institutions are immune to the corruption that plagued authoritarian regimes. These book tries to address these concerns. In nine well-documented case studies, some of the countries best investigate reporters show why corruption persists and what is being done to stop it. These case studies reveal the fallibility of individuals and institutions. They also show how the democratization, economic growth, and liberalization bring new temptations and new forms of abuse. Pork and other perks is pioneering work. It exposes the many facets of corruption in the Philippines and pinpoints who is responsible. But this book goes beyond muckraking to examining the social structures and the institutions that breed graft. It also examines what can be dine it. Pork and Other Perks examines how congressmen spend "pork barrel" funds legislators and Malacanang play around with the national budget officials were able to skim off billions from the sale of public property a telephone monopoly bent the rules to its own advantage the Bureau of Immigrtion became a lair of corruption contractors and officials get cuts from infrastructure projects politicians use the people's money for election campaigns the Office of the Ombudsman can't quite nail the crooks citizens' groups have fought graft.
