Description

#TheViewFromManila | OCTA Research fellow Prof. Ranjit Rye dissects the ghost projects scandal at the DPWH, saying corruption is “rife, alive, and endemic.” He explains why focusing only on personalities like the Disgaya family distracts from the real issue — institutional rot and weak accountability.Rye also warns that corruption and vote buying are linked — and that Filipinos must reform political parties and elections to fix the system. He shares OCTA’s latest political data: a possible 2028 face-off between the Duterte–Marcos tandem and the Tulfo–Hontiveros bloc, with a huge undecided bloc that could swing the race.
