Statement of Deputy Presidential Spokesperson Abigail F. Valte on the SWS 2012 Survey of Enterprises on Corruption


MANILA, September 18, 2012-The Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey of Enterprises on Corruption conducted from July 16 to September 14 this year shows that the business sector recognizes the results of the Aquino administration’s relentless drive against corruption.

Based on interviews of 826 company executives representing large, medium and small enterprises, 71% see less public sector corruption now compared to the previous administration. Of all the government institutions rated for sincerity in fighting corruption this year, the Office of the President shot up the most, from -37 in 2009 to +81 this year, an improvement of +118. Indeed, the President leads by example and the Filipino people see in his leadership the embodiment of positive change and honest public service. This is indicative of the overwhelming trust, confidence, and support in the President as he undertakes anti-corruption initiatives. In the eyes of the business community, good governance is good economics.
The mandate of reform is one of hope, change, and the belief that corruption is at the root of our country’s social ills. The results of this survey affirm the Aquino administration’s commitment to pursuing the straight and righteous path throughout the public sector – from Malacañang to Barangay Halls that serve our people.
