Fight against graft and corruption
« on: July 24, 2009, 05:13:53 PM »
The Office of the Ombudsman-Western Visayas has vowed to become a model in the fight against graft and corruption.

Lawyer Ma.Sonnette Daquita, graft investigation and prosecution officer of the Ombudsman-WV, said that their office had already registered 469 members as watch agents who are committed to help them in their fight against corruption in the region.

Daquita said the members of graft watch agents include priests under the Social Action Center, government officials in Guimaras and Iloilo, people's organization, volunteers and others.

"We have so far the biggest number of accredited volunteers in Visayas committed to fight against erring officials," she said.

Daquita, together with Evangeline Nunal, associate graft investigator officer, discussed on Corruption Prevention Unit (CPU)among the members of the Aklan Press Club and the Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster sa Pilipinas (KBP).

The Aklan media when accredited will become part of the official agent volunteers of the Ombudsman to help the agency in the fight against graft and corruption.

Once the KBP-Kalibo and the APC are accredited, its officials and members will become agents against corruption through a Memorandum of Agreement(MOA) to be signed by both parties.

To strengthen its advocacy, the Ombudsman-Visayas is now hiring 13 more investigators to assist them in the expected surge of complaints against suspected corrupt officials in the region.

KBP-Kalibo chair Augusto Tolentino, for his part, said the Aklan media is serious in its quest to eliminate incidence of corruption in the Aklan province.

Based on the data of the Ombudsman-WV, at least 110 government-owned vehicles have already been apprehended for illegal/unauthorized use in Western Visayas by the Task Force: Red Plate.

Of the 110, 16 cases of which came from Aklan, seven in Antique, 19 from Capiz; 10 in Guimaras, 13 in Iloilo City, 15 in Iloilo province and 30 from Negros Occidental.

"We still welcome group volunteers as watchdogs for the Ombudsman in our joint fight against graft and corruption," Daquita said.(PNA)

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.

if a million corrupt people die, there will still be enough millions who are committed to corruption, this is simply a vicious cycle.
