In any given country, it is inevitable to encounter various issues and challenges, which highlights the importance of having a competent government to address them for the betterment of its citizens. During the launch event of Capstone-Intel Corporation on June 30, 2023, one of their esteemed board members emphasized this crucial matter.
Attorney Nick Conti, the Chief of Public Affairs of Capstone-Intel, emphasized the significance of evidence-based research in solving the Philippines’ pressing issues. He pointed out that the country is facing numerous challenges that require immediate attention based on studies. His message centered on the theme of “Solving the Nation’s Problems with Evidence-Based Research.”
“Today we point ourselves at the typical point in history faced with challenges and opportunities that demand our attention and action. From policy making to social progress, the utilization of robust data and objective analysis holds the key, unlocking the solutions to the challenges we face as a nation. What are the main problems of our country? Poverty and income inequality, lack of access to quality education, weak healthcare systems, infrastructure deficit, and environmental education, and many more issues,” began Atty. Conti.
During his speech, Atty. Conti elaborated on how Capstone-Intel’s services can help address these problems and provide valuable solutions.
“These problems have been exacerbated by a much bigger problem called corruption. Kaya po lumalala ang problema sa sektor, whether it’s public or private, ang problema po ng kawalan ng good governance, transparency, and accountability, and corruption, iyan po ang nagiging suliranin. Ang problema ng kahirapan ay pupuwedeng masolusyunan kung ating pag-aaralan nang mabuti using a research-based approach to identify effective policies, programs, and interventions to address the problem of poverty and income inequality while also promoting transparency and accountability in the allocations of resources. Again, we are offering solutions here at Capstone,” he continued.
Moreover, Attorney Conti has effectively conveyed the impact of corruption on the system, which has been extensively analyzed to determine the origin and outcome, ensuring that the solutions implemented are advantageous to all parties involved.
“We are offering our solutions at Capstone. We have a research-based approach that can provide everything on the impact of corruption in education, highlight successful anti-corruption strategies, and support evidence-based policy making to ensure quality education,” he added.
“With healthcare systems, corruption poses a critical challenge to them. It undermines the delivery of essential healthcare services, misallocates resources, and deteriorates public health infrastructure. Again, at Capstone, we’re offering a research-based approach, so we will be able to analyze the impact of corruption on healthcare outcomes, identify areas for improvement, and inquire about evidence-based policies to strengthen health and deduce corruption,” assured Atty. Conti.
