Rappler Talk: The cost of not punishing the corrupt 

MANILA, Philippines – There’s a price to pay for everything.

This applies even in relation to corruption in a country. Whether quantitatively or qualitatively, a nation incurs losses when it fails to prosecute and probe its own officials facing corruption allegations.

In this episode of Rappler Talk, justice reporter Jairo Bolledo speaks with anti-corruption expert and former Presidential Commission on Good Government commissioner Ruben Carranza to discuss the importance of exacting accountability from officials.

The interview also tackles the importance of impeachment — like the proceedings Vice President Sara Duterte is facing — in ensuring the highest standards are met in public service.
