                    [Summary] => Malacañang agrees with Hong Kong’s former anti-corruption chief that a "shame campaign" is needed in the fight against corruption in the Philippines.


Ombudsman Simeon Marcelo also said he agrees with the view of Tony Kwok, now a consultant of the Office of the Ombudsman, but pointed out this can be done after convictions have been obtained.

"Maybe later on after we have finished presenting the evidence. The case must be resolved first," he told The STAR.

"This is what you need, a shame campaign. You have to let the politicians know that corruption is a high-risk crime," Tony Kwok, now a chief adviser of the Office of the Ombudsman, told a roundtable discussion sponsored by the British Council last Tuesday.

But don’t bring the spray paint cans out just yet, though, because Kwok said a scheme similar to that of former Manila mayor now Sen. Alfredo Lim would be inadvisable. "I don’t think so. It has to fit in with the culture. The most effective, of course, is through mass media," he told The STAR.
