                    [Title] => Anti-corruption fight to hit airwaves
                    [Summary] => If "music hath charms to soothe the savage breast," as English playwright William Congreve has written, maybe it can be used to battle corruption.


The Office of the Ombudsman plans to use the music to educate people about the evils of graft and corruption, which have hindered foreign investment in the country.

Ombudsman Merceditas Gutierrez said they would seek the help of local radio stations in playing over the airwaves songs with lyrics that slam corruption in everyday life.
