India :
it is related to the investment of foreign aids in India and various problems related to it. the matter is also related to the corruption that prevails in the process.

I’m not sure if the government here is better than there. I may not have basis for comparison.
But what we have in the Philippines is a thriving democracy. The mechanisms for checks and balance are well placed to the point that it’s a rather noisy scenario when dissenting voices put out regular clamor - but all in the spirit of democracy. Where else can you find a place where the president of the country is impeached thrice in a year and all three tries failed. :)
BTW, it is so democratic that even corruption is a level playing field. :):) And the huge pie includes foreign aid and ODAs.
We’ve learned all the hard lessons to be learned from a 20-year dictatorship that people are now truly vigilant against a possible recurrence of such.
Needless to say, we have a strong and stable civil society.
