filipina memang saat ini juara sebagai negara terkorup di asean. menurut data transparency international terbaru, posisi filipina ada di urutan 129 sebagai negara "paling tidak korup" dengan skor 2.6, indonesia di urutan 100 dgn skor 3.0 (makin gede skornya makin tidak korup). dengan kata lain, filipina memang jauh lebih korup daripada indonesia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_Perceptions_Index tapi religiusitas rakyat filipina tidak perlu diragukan lagi. mereka punya ritual yg mengerikan saat paskah, yaitu menyalib orang dengan paku beneran. si bleki keliatannya ngga tau kalo orang filipin itu mayoritas kresten.
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/13/business/worldbusiness/13iht-peso.4891792.html By Carlos H. Conde Published: Tuesday, March 13, 2007 MANILA Expatriate businessmen in Asia perceive the Philippines as the most corrupt country in the region, according to a survey released Tuesday. Singapore was ranked as the least corrupt of the 13 economies surveyed, followed by Hong Kong and Japan, according to the annual corruption survey conducted by the Political and Economic Risk Consultancy, based in Hong Kong. "The Philippines has the distinction of being perceived in the worst light this year," the survey stated. "People are just growing tired of the inaction and insincerity of leading officials when they promise to fight corruption." The survey, conducted in January and February, queried 1,476 expatriate executives in 13 countries and territories in Asia. The Philippines scored 9.40, where a score of zero is the least corrupt and 10 is the most corrupt. In the 2006 survey, in which Indonesia was regarded as the most corrupt, the Philippines scored 7.80. Indonesia improved its score to 8.03 this year, a development that the report credits to a government anti-corruption campaign. The report noted, however, that for the Philippines, Indonesia and Thailand, where corruption is systemic, "it is really splitting hairs to say which one has a worse problem." "The Philippines has been getting the least amount of foreign direct investment, and the level of foreign capital flowing to its stock market is also less than in either Indonesia or Thailand," the report noted. To the question "How effective is the judicial system at prosecuting and punishing individuals for corruption when abuses are uncovered?" the respondents gave the Philippines a score of 9.06, with 10 being "ineffective." The poll is certain to rile President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, who has claimed that her government's efforts against corruption are bearing fruit. Arroyo hired Tony Kwok, an anti-corruption crusader from Hong Kong credited for stamping out corruption in the Chinese territory, as an adviser in 2005. To the question "To what extent is corruption a deterrent to your willingness to invest and expand your business?" the Philippines scored 8.50, with 10 reflecting "a major deterrent." Local corruption monitors confirm that graft and bribery in the Philippines remain rampant. Corruption has penetrated every level of government, from the Bureau of Customs down to the traffic police officers who pull over motorists to demand bribes. Nearly $2 billion dollars, or roughly 13 percent of the Philippines' annual budget, is lost to corruption in the country each year, according to the United Nations Development Program. --- In [email protected], "Teddy S." <teddyr@...> wrote: > > Ada contoh lagi Filipina. > Orang Huawei bilang kalau orang-orang Filipina minta-minta duit sama mereka > jumlahnya jauh lebih besar daripada orang-orang Indonesia. > > > --- In [email protected], "johny_indon" <johny_indon@> wrote: > > > > > > > > kasian bener si bleki ini, wawasannya ngga lebih luas dari kolornya. > > dia masih percaya dengan pemikiran primitif bahwa kemajuan sebuah negara > > ada hubungannya dengan agama. > > dia ngga tau kalo gereja2 di eropa itu sekarang kosong melompong > > karena bule2 itu udah males nyembah2 patung di dalemnya. > > dari 53% orang eropa yg masih percaya adanya tuhan, tentu saja ngga > > semuanya kresten. > > jadi seiring dengan kemajuan jaman, jumlah kresten di eropa justru makin > > menyusut. > > > > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_atheism > > > > According to a 2005 Eurostat Eurobarometer poll, 52% of European Union > > citizens responded that "they believe there is a God", whereas 27% answered > > that "they believe there is some sort of spirit or life force" and 18% that > > "they do not believe there is a spirit, God, nor life force". > > > > --- In [email protected], item abu <itemabu@> wrote: > > > > > > Sejak Kristen berkembang dari reformasi gereja di Eropa, Eropa jadi maju, > > > baik dr segi pengetahuan maupun segi peradaban. > > >  > > > Sebaliknya, sejak Islam berkembang di Timur Tengah, Afrika Utara dan Asia > > > Selatan, pengetahuan mundur, orang2nya jadi biadab.
