The campaign for good governance is paying off but the government cannot move forward alone and needs the cooperation of the public, Malacañang said Thursday.
Even as it welcomed the country’s climb in the World Bank’s ease of doing business ranking, Presidential Spokesman Salvador Panelo urged anew the public to reject any form of corruption in transactions with the government.
He said the public should report any form of irregularity or suspicious actions undertaken by government personnel to 8888 Citizens’ Complaint Hotline, the Presidential Complaint Center, the Anti-Red Tape Authority or to the Presidential Anti-Corruption Commission. The World Bank report found the country has improved in three areas namely in starting a business, dealing with construction permits, and protecting minority investors.
“Many would recall that then Davao City Mayor Duterte vowed that there will be ‘no more waiting’ on the part of our citizens when he campaigned for the presidency in 2016. Thus, when he assumed the highest office of the land, he made good his promise to cut red tape and corruption in the bureaucracy,” he said.
