Professor Dindo Manhit (Photo from ADRi) “It is the responsibility of the government to ensure transparency and accountability when it comes to transactions with other states especially for foreign investments,” Stratbase Albert del Rosario Institute (ADRi) president, professor Dindo Manhit said in a statement Wednesday, July 7. Manhit was sounding off from the paper titled, “Chinese Investments in The Philippines: Are They Corrosive Capital?” The study was penned by professor Edwin Santiago of the De La Salle University (DLSU) Political Science Department. Santiago said that these foreigner-funded infrastructure endeavors have become controversial “primarily due to allegations that they followed a unique way of doing things that disregarded the rule of law and characteristically lacked transparency and accountability.”
