In history’s all-star corruption race, who was worse?
Pulse Asia has an answer; or, rather, the survey firm has plumbed public opinion, and located the public’s answer. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo is the “most corrupt president in history,” statistically edging out the late dictator, Ferdinand Marcos.
Here are three Tables of survey findings (the survey was taken in October 2007), summarizing the current state of public opinion. (Note, in particular, the second Table.) Please click on the thumbnail images to enlarge them.
An initial, cautionary reading can be found in Newsstand.

Hindi ko nga nararamdaman ang corruption on this administration.
Nararamdaman ko na ang PAG-UNLAD at PAG-ASENSO ng ating bansa.
Maraming salamat Pangulong Arroyo!

How could you possibly rate the corruption issue with Marcos if the respondents group is between the ages 18-40?
Fo me this survey is really unrealieble!
Tama si Chris Clipmaster, Ronie, Marka and Bonifacio.
This is really A FALSE SURVEY!
I really Dont believe that PGMA is the most corrupt.
President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo IS THE BEST PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES.

Corruption throughout the world and in particular, the Philippines is not new. It existed since the beginning of civilization, it has been the norm and it will always be the norm because (a),79,000,000 poor Pilipinos who are the ultimate victims of corruption found contentment in being victims, (b) by their inaction, they had authorized the crooks, so called government officials and employees and their private cohoorts who in reality are just a bunch of devils disguised as human beings, to continually engage in corruption and (c) they had acquiesed in corruption as a way of life, thus, they simply call the crook as “malakas” and whenever a crook would visit their places, they fall in line to kiss the crook’s ass. Even in America, the so called westernized Pilipinos are very proud to even brag about being friend of a crook. Whenever a crook comes to America to spend money they have stolen from the Pilipino people, the westernized Pilipino would spend time and money to show the crook around as if the crook has a divine power over them. What a bunch of stupid idiots.

For darouch -HEART CENTRE,NKI,PICC,SAN JUANICO BRDG,ETC..those were tainted from corruption as u said,but at least people benefited from it,you might be one of those who will benefit come a time you will get older,u have heart disease that needs an operation,u have a kidney failure,etc…the survey says who is the most corrupt?is doesnt says that who is not corrupt?
Gloria Labandera - just want to ask you? are you paying a taxes?if yes ur iresponsible citizen that doesnt care where ur taxes go.if not,then you better shot up coz u have not done anything for our country inspite of those crooked politicians.
