    SONA 2019 Promise Tracker: Corruption and Good Governance

    By Klaire Ting  |  Jul 24, 2020 2:44 PM

    Ending government corruption is a campaign promise and an oft-repeated commitment of President Rodrigo Duterte since he took office in June 2016. However, most of his anti-corruption efforts had been marked with sacking and recycling of officials.
