These efforts consequently resulted in the decrease of the bureaucratic red tape and prevented graft and corruption," Buenaflor stressed.
Republic Act 9485, otherwise known as the Anti-Red Tape Act of 2007 specifically instructs the country to promote integrity, accountability and proper direction of world affairs and public property.
It also mandates the administration of "effective practices aimed at the bar of bribery and corruption in government".
