TI-Philippines' Vision 

 

A Philippine society that is free of corruption, with the establishment of a National Integrity System that curbs corruption by increasing the level of public awareness on the menace of corruption:

• Corruption breeds and perpetuates poverty, as it robs the people of basic social services.

• Corruption undermines peace, order and stability of the government, as it downgrades the confidence and trust of the people in democracy and the government; and furthers the gap between the impoverished poor and the rich. 


Our mission

 

To facilitate the establishment and strengthening of multi-stakeholder coalitions for good governance and corruption reform; bringing together government, civil society, business and other sectors that would see to functional National Integrity Systems [NIS].


TI-Philippines believes that the fight against corruption can best be achieved by inculcating change and rekindling the values in the hearts of each person that would pave the way to an eventual change in his/her attitudes and foment the practise of honesty and integrity.


TI-Philippines offers to this and any Administration a collaboration that could carry out the program of a graft-free Philippines.


Both Transparency International-Main and TI-Philippines believe that the fight against corruption can be achieved through transparency. 

 

Corruption and TI's Rationale

Corruption is one of the greatest challenges of the contemporary world. It undermines good government, fundamentally distorts public policy, leads to the misallocation of resources, harms the private sector and private sector development and particularly hurts the poor.

 

Controlling it is only possible with the cooperation of a wide range of stakeholders in the integrity system, including most importantly the state, civil society, and the private sector. There is also a crucial role to be played by international institutions.

 

What makes TI different?


• TI is the only international movement exclusively devoted to curbing corruption.
• TI is an international centre of expertise on combating corruption, pooling a large number of highly professional volunteers for an integrated approach.
• TI seeks to empower civil society to play a meaningful role in countering   corruption.

 
Our Mission Statement
 

To curb corruption by mobilising a global coalition to promote and strengthen international and national Integrity Systems and by instituting changes in the moral values of the people whether in government, private sector or civil society.


Fighting corruption sustainably is only possible with the involvement of all the stakeholders:  the state, civil society and the private sector.


Through our National Chapters we bring together people of integrity in civil society, business and government to work as coalitions for systemic reforms.

 

TI does not "name names" nor attack individuals but focus on building systems that combat corruption.


We play an important role in raising public awareness and our Corruption Perceptions Index (C.P.I.)  has triggered meaningful reform in many countries.
