                    [Title] => RP needs ‘shame campaign’ to fight corruption — expert
                    [Summary] => All the Philippines needs is an unrelenting "shame campaign" to stamp out corruption in the bureaucracy, the former head of Hong Kong’s Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) has suggested.


"This is what you need, a shame campaign. You have to let the politicians know that corruption is a high-risk crime," Tony Kwok, now a chief adviser of the Office of the Ombudsman, told a roundtable discussion sponsored by the British Council last Tuesday.


But don’t bring the spray paint cans out just yet, though, because Kwok said a scheme similar to that of former Manila mayor now Sen. Alfredo Lim would be inadvisable. "I don’t think so. It has to fit in with the culture. The most effective, of course, is through mass media," he told The STAR.

                    [Summary] => Lawmakers across the Southeast Asian region have joined forces in putting up a regional organization that will fight graft and corruption, Sen. Edgardo Angara announced yesterday.


Angara said parliamentarians from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) have decided to form a common front against the graft and corruption plaguing member countries.


Senate President Franklin Drilon said Filipino lawmakers will have the chance to meet their counterparts from all over the world in two international conferences set this month until the first week of April.
