And we need to celebrate that.For those who are interested in tackling corruption, but don’t know where to start, here are some ideas:

1. FOLLOW THE MONEY

GOVERNMENTS have vast sums of public money to spend, and this can pose a serious corruption risk. By keeping tabs ongovernment expenditure, you can help shed light on how Philippine taxes are being spent and expose any abuses. You can also join the Integrity Circles that have been set up by various local governments throughout the country.

2. COUNT SUPPLIES

SCHOOLS receive lots of supplies from government, like textbooks, lab equipment or other classroom necessities.

It's not rocket science to keep track of this. It just takes commitment and transparency. Ask to see how many Bunsen burners are supposed to be in the biology labs and if the numbers don't add up-ask what's happened.

3. TECH SOLUTIONS

IF you're tech-savvy-and many of you are you can help communities document cases of corruption by developing reporting platforms on the web or through mobile apps. Social media, in particular, is an effective way to address corruption in real-time, but is a bit risky.

4. COMICS AND CARTOONS
