| Title | Controlling Corruption in the Philippine Budget |
| Summary | The state of corruption in the Philippines has reached a deplorable state. The Philippine budget is identified as a source of corruption as it directly involves the allocation of public money. This study traced the Philippine budget process and identified the various actors that intervened therein. Through process tracing and content analysis, various risks of corruption were identified in each of the four phases of the budget process. These risks include the following: (1) abuse of discretion by government officials; (2) failure to make the process transparent; (3) the abuse of discretion in the use of lump sum funds; and (4) abuse of the authority to reallocate savings in the budget. With the identification of these risks of corruption, appropriate policies were designed to control political corruption in the Philippine budget. |
