25 What is the buwaya problem? By Solita Monsod So now we know what the culprits are. Wrong policies, weak institutions. Who are responsible for these? Short answer: our political leaders (now the connection to elections is clear). This I call our buwaya problem which is the surfeit in this country of political leaders whose decisions, supposedly taken for the public good, are in truth motivated by a desire for private gain and result in policies and projects that impoverish rather than enrich our country. The buwaya problem is compounded by even more greed, because these politicians find public service so lucrative that they decide to make a family enterprise out of it, creating dynasties. Any evidence to support these statements? I give you Nobel Laureate Gunnar Myrdal (Asian Drama) who singled out the Philippines thusly: Graft and corruption permeate all levels of public life. And even more painful: Perhaps in no other country in South Asia is political dishonesty so widely recognized, accepted and talked about as a part of the political game. This, in Thirty-five years later in 2003, the World Economic Forum conducted an Executive Opinion Survey in which the countries surveyed were classified as: low corruption, moderate corruption, and high corruption. The Philippines was one among 10 countries in the last category and the only Asian country at that. The other comparator countries were all moderately corrupt.
