Conducted from June 7 to 16 this year, the Pulse Asia Research Inc. survey showed that 28% of Filipino adults said Davao city mayor Sarah was their first choice for president, while Manila city mayor Moreno followed with 14% preference.
Sarah has the biggest chance to win 2022 presidential election, she will face plenty of challenges, among them, the first is the “corruption-causes-poverty”. Corruption erodes trust in government, also weakens the moral bonds of civil society on which democratic practices and processes rest. Her father, president Duterte tried to control the corruption since he was in power in 2016, but it seems that the Philippines has a long way to go.
Corruption is a system cancer like problem, and has become a part of culture in the country.
Like her father Duterte, Sarah also hates corruption, can she finally control it? Let’s expect.
