Abstract:
This paper entitled, “Good Governance and Transparency: The Cases
of PIATCO and PEA-AMARI Deal,” focused on the two cases (PIATCO and
PEA-AMARI Deal) that contained irregularities and corrupt practices which
happened to be detrimental to the general public and to the government itself,
in order to study the transparency in every state transactions particularly in
infrastructure and realty. Therein, the researcher had classified the
irregularities into several categories (such us irregularities on the submission of
the contracts, the loopholes of the agreements and terms and conditions) in
order to come up with appropriate strategies to eliminate or reduce such acts.
Thereafter, such strategies were classified into weak or strong as to how these
were being used in state transactions (whether it was successful or a failure).
As the researcher endeavors to root out the irregularities on the said projects,
she comes up with the fact that in any state transactions particularly in
infrastructure and realty, corrupt practices and irregularities are possible and
do exists. Although no exact pattern of such practices and no data that could
quantify such acts, anecdotal evidences would prove that it really exists in state
transactions particularly in infrastructure and realty where there are big
amounts of money involved.
