3. Rationale There is a need to review current studies and surveys being conducted measuring corruption in the Philippines.
It would be important to know what their methodologies are, who their key respondents are, how they gather the data and how they analyze their data sets.
It would be pertinent to mine the data generated by these studies and surveys.
The information culled will aid both government and non-government agencies in zeroing in its efforts to address corruption on segments of the population most sensitive to this issue.
It will give better directions as to where concentrated efforts to curb corruption are vital.
It will pro-actively identify factors affecting perceptions of corruption and facets of corruption in the country and serve as a beacon to anti-corruption efforts.

8. Caveat In the course of talking with key informants from these various research institutions, some have expressed plans to further modify and make improvements in their methodologies
Since the review of the surveys included in the study was from April to June 2006, any changes and improvements made by the various research institutions in their methods of data gathering data processing and data analysis after this period cannot be reflected here
The study does not intend to conclude which survey is more superior than others; rather it intends to give illumination on how these surveys are done and how the survey data can help in further advancing means of curbing corruption
