...asking serious questions doesn't guarantee you'll get serious answers.  ask anything you want and hope the users are in the mood to answer - seriously or not.

corruption in the philippines is almost a way of life.  we can change our way of life.  not easy to do but we can try.  but maybe not in our lifetime.  i am an optimist but when it comes to philippine politics, i tend to be a pessimist.  sorry.

Just ask and read it to see if it's serious or not.

is this a serious question -

Not really - because the obvious answer is NO so some people might answer with humor because the answer is obvious.

WILL CORRUPTION (in the phils) EVER GO AWAY IN MY LIFETIME?

Not in your lifetime.

Answer 4

It hasn't gone away in any other country except maybe Finland, so why would it?  I don't think so.  The USA is very corrupt, and they insure that it continues in other countries as well.

Answer 5

Corruption would  only stop if every citizens in the Philippines is a millionaire. Until that happens, expect the same question  you posted above would be  the same  question that your  your grandchildren will post in YA answers  decades from now.
