MANILA -- Malacañang hailed Wednesday the country's improved ranking in the list of most corrupt countries based on the 2012 Corruption Perception Index (CPI) released by Transparency International Philippines.

"The Aquino Administration continues to make big strides in its anti-corruption agenda, as it leapfrogged 24 places in the recently released Corruption Perception Index of Transparency International," Presidential spokesperson Edwin Lacierda said.

Out of 176 countries, the Philippines now ranked 105th, up from 129th last year.

Lacierda said the Palace sees the improvement "as an affirmation of the efforts to strengthen institutions, provide deterrents against corrupt practices, and hold accountable those who have used power for personal gain."

"While the improvement in our rankings upholds President Aquino's resolve to tread the straight path of good governance, the administration nonetheless acknowledges that the anti-corruption drive remains a work in progress," he added.

"Transparency needs to be instituted across all government agencies, whether on the national or local level. There are still bumps that need to be evened out for the playing field to be truly leveled. In many cases, justice remains to be served," he further said.

The Philippines tied with countries such as Algeria, Armenia, Bolivia, Gambia, Kosovo, Mali and Mexico at 105th place.

Although the country's ranking improved, its CPI score remained to be low with 34 out of 100. Based on the index, a score of zero means the country is perceived to be very corrupt and 100 means it is perceived to be very clean.

Denmark, Finland and New Zealand tied for first place on this year's ranking.

In Asia, Singapore ranked the highest at 5th place, followed by Hong Kong (14), Japan (17), Taiwan (37), South Korea (45) and Brunei (46).

Somalia, North Korea and Afghanistan have the lowest rankings on the index. (Jill Beltran/Sunnex)

Hmm, na-improve ba gud tinuod?

mas gamay na ang SOP

gi-interview pa kog apil sa survey, mahumod gyod ang interviewers sa akong hinilak.  registration ra na ug awto ang akong latest experience ha. 

sa una pa kaayo, gamayng tindahan, naglisod kog register sa cebu city.  giingnan pa kog bahala na nang BIR, siguroa lang mi diri sa city hall.  naa bay makatupong sa kabastos ana?  imbis nagtarong kog sunod sa patakaran sa gobyerno, ako man hinooy lisod-lisoron...

solution ato:  puwes, di ko mo-register kun ipasa-pasa lang ko.  maghuwat lang kog inyo kong dakpon.  nahanaw na lang ang tindahan, wa man uroy ko dakpa.

sa akong pagsabot sa "improved" kay ni grabe....

pagkatoytoy....lisod pod ni sila ianod sa baha kay mansion man pod lage ang gipuy-an...

anha ra ko motuo kun ang pag-register ug big business sa ato pareha sa singapore nga 1 hour ra.  dinhi sa ato 10-12 months, if at all madayon.  kadaghang bang mga government agencies nga apil sa registration, puro tahakonon ug puro maglangay-langay.

Ikaw bay taga LTO lalim ba. Samok mga tawo, siging palit awto, iparehistro pa ra ba jud...

sirhan na lang diay nang opisinaha kun samokan sila sa mga tawo.  gawas kun modawat silag vehicle registration pinaagi aning duha ra gyod: 

#taga-lto sila ang moadto sa balay diin naka-park ang awto kay di kaandar kay wa ma-register

#mosugot silag ang sakyanan ra mismo ang magpa-register sa kaugalingon.
