Corruption is a multi-faceted phenomenon, defined as a major factor behind the recent East Asian financial crises. In the Philippine context, corruption is the violation of norms of duty and responsibility for personal gain. This includes embezzlement, where public funds are used for one’s own benefit, nepotism, where friends, relatives and associates are appointed to public office on the basis of the personal relationship rather than merit (Angeles, 2012).

According to Coronel (1999) Filipinos tend to be cynical about corruption in the government as they believe corruption is said to be as old as the government itself. However, while Filipinos are not shock about officials being corrupt, governance had made Filipinos raise issues on effectiveness of performance, accountability and transparencies of government institutions.
