PHILIPINES, MANILA: Disgusted by a public official's sprawling mansion or bulky SUV that you think is ill-gotten? Take a picture and send it to these guys.
Anti-corruption activists Tuesday (March 23) launched the Philippine Public Transparency Reporting Project (PPTRP) and its website, aiming to build from the grassroots "a constituency for change" to battle "endemic" graft and corruption.
The PPTRP website-www.transparencyreporting.net, subtitled "Pera Natin 'To (This is our Money)!"-will feature pictures of alleged ill-gotten wealth. Plans are underway to make the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and Net Worth (SALNs) of government officials available online.
The first target of this "shame" drive? Politicians who put their names and pictures on signs announcing public projects.
