Europe In Support of A Sustainable and Competitive Philippines. ECCP Annual Report 2011. The Business Environment. The Philippine business environment has improved in 2011 after the Aquino Administration launched a serious campaign against graft and corruption in 2010. The Philippines enjoyed a 10-point jump in the global competitive index from the ranking of 85 in 2010 to 75 in 2011. This is a good sign that the international community is recognizing the efforts of the Aquino administration towards bringing back integrity in government. President Aquino was relentless in applying the full force of his office on high government officials who have engaged in election fraud or adopted a lifestyle beyond their income capacity.
