Both the government & the private sector has a part in this. If those in the private sector wouldn't give a bribe (like our company) then this wouldn't flourish.
Agree.

IMO, values ang root. Aside from the private & public sector, sa households/homes may corruption din. For example, ilan sa atin ang nagbi-bribe ng anak to perform well in school? Ako, I admit to this - and I know I had to stop it kaya I did. Ilan sa atin ang kumukumsyon sa office purchases sa offices e.g. "Pre, ikaw i-recommend kong supplier ha? Basta, bahala ka na sa 'kin." Kahit sa mga churches or religious groups eh may corruption din.

Kung gaano kataas at kataba ang puno, at ka-dawag ng kanyang mga sanga at dahon eh mas malalim at mas malawak ang ugat. Ngayon, ang puno eh hindi mabubuhay ng walang ugat - at hindi lang naman iisa ang species or klase ng puno: nuknukan ng dami.
