Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte's pledge to fight one of Asia's worst corruption battles had a rough 12 months.
The Philippines has fallen 14 places in a year in Transparency International's latest corruption perceptions index, which was published last week. A place Duterte was elected to clean up in 2016 now ranks 113th, on par with Kazakhstan and Zambia. The Philippines has fallen 18 rungs in total on Duterte's watch.
