Economic Betrayal: The Toll of Corruption on the Philippines' Development

In Economic Betrayal: The Toll of Corruption on the Philippines' Development, William Ubagan exposes the deep-rooted culture of corruption that has crippled the nation’s progress for decades. Through sharp analysis and compelling narrative, this book unveils how greed, political patronage, and systemic deceit have drained the lifeblood of the Philippine economy—stealing not just public funds, but the very future of its people.

Ubagan meticulously examines how corruption seeps through every level of governance—from the corridors of power to local bureaucracies—hindering education, infrastructure, healthcare, and social welfare. Drawing from real cases, historical patterns, and economic data, the author reveals the unseen cost of every stolen peso: the lost opportunities, the deepened poverty, and the widening inequality that continues to haunt the nation.

But Economic Betrayal is more than just an exposé. It is a wake-up call and a manifesto for reform—urging every Filipino to confront the moral and structural rot that has long kept the country from achieving true development. With clarity and conviction, Ubagan lays out actionable insights and ethical reflections for leaders, policymakers, and citizens who still believe that integrity and accountability can rebuild a broken economy.

Powerful, unflinching, and timely, this book is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the true price of corruption—and how the Philippines can finally rise from the shadows of its economic betrayal.
