This project was built on the belief that corruption in public life will only ever be reduced when ordinary people are abe to understand, monitor-- and ultimately have a say on where and how public money is spent.

It's our money (Pera natin 'to). Every centavo lost to corruption is a centavo stolen from education, poverty reduction, social services adn job creation. Ultimately, beating corruption will result in more inward investment, serious economic development adn far fewer people leaving home in search of a better life overseas.

Reporting Human Rights in the Philippines is a field guide for Journalists and Media Workers.

It is for the media to help develop and protect human rights and the rule of law. If they do not, who will- and who in turn will help protect them? Rights do not simply appear. Even if they are formally agreed in Geneva or New York and are enshrined in international law, rights do not automatically happen. Laws are man-made, observed- adn broken. Every society need ists pioneers and defenders if it is to progress adn be free and fair.
