Best Posts in Thread: So many in government still currupt

How exactly are voters supposed to know who the candidates with "integrity" are? Are the filed corruption cases made public? (I say filed because everyone knows it takes forever to get a conviction....which might not ever happen because, well you know, corruption.) Is such a list of corruption cases easily accessible on the internet? Is it broken down by Province/Municipality/City so voters can easily search for their local politicians? What if the newer candidate doesn't have a record but is part of a well established and corrupt political dynasty? (Perhaps Juan dela Cruz Sr has a long recorded history of corruption but little Juan Jr married into another political family and took their last name and is just now looking to get into politics to carry on the family business.)

I'm sure the cases are available somewhere on the internet but searching for them is tedious and you have to know where to look and what to look for. I think anyone that opened up such a corruption watchdog website that exposed these politicians would have some serious safety and legal concerns (because defamation cases can be filed here even if the claim made is true....and these corrupt politicians have a lot of money to file as many cases as they like) and would need to operated from outside the Philippines.....and even then it would have to be ran as anonymously as possible.
