Bengino Aquino, the president of the Philippines, has forced the resignation of Merceditas Gutierrez, the state's chief prosecutor of official corruption. This is seen as the first step towards Aquino's promised agenda against corruption. His administration's analysis is that the institutions for fighting corruption already exist, but just need to be put to work properly. The president's congressional allies had Gutierrez after accusing her of failing to prosecute cases of alleged corruption within the administration of Aquino's predecessor, Gloria Arroyo, who appointed her to her post. Gutierrez claimed there had been no lapses, but she resigned before the Senate could initiate a trial. "A dangerous game; The Philippines." The Economist 18 June 2005: 39(US). Expanded Academic ASAP.

A tape recording has recently surfaced in which Arroyo seems to be urging an election commissioner to rig the 2004 presidential poll on her behalf, and her husband, son, and brother-in- law have also been accused of receiving bribes from the kingpins of jueteng, a popular but illegal form of gambling similar to a lottery. Arroyo and her family deny all the allegations against them. "The Philippines: Treasure Hunt." Economist 384.(2007): 33. Biography Reference Bank (H.W. Wilson) Ferdinand Marcos, the former dictator of the Philippines who was overthrown in a popular uprising in 1986, is reputed to have looted up to $10 billion from the public purse during his rule. In 20 years of trying to recover the stolen assets, the Presidential Commission on Good Governance has retrieved only one-quarter of the total sum. Recently, speculation has grown that the commission has made a deal with Marcos's family, allowing it to retain some of the money in return for relinquishing the rest. Officials deny the existence of such a deal, but there have been curious developments in the Marcos's financial activities recently; most notably, they have revived their claims to valuable pieces of property and shareholdings in some of the country's biggest companies.
