It then pivots to a practical, Philippine-grounded blueprint for treating \u003cb\u003edata as public infrastructure\u003c\/b\u003e-building a \"data spine\" that links people, projects, places, and pesos-and using \u003cb\u003eAI as an assistant to honest judgment\u003c\/b\u003e, not a replacement for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJust as important, it draws a firm ethical line: any data- and AI-enabled reform must be protected by a \u003cb\u003emoral firewall\u003c\/b\u003e-privacy, due process, human rights, and accountability-so that anti-corruption tools never become tools of oppression. With phased roadmaps, playbooks for leaders and citizens, and portraits of \"integrity warriors,\" this book is both a strategic framework and a call to action for anyone determined to make corruption harder, riskier, and less normal in Philippine life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonathan Salvilla\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798278781110\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.87lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.35d","brand":"Jonathan Salvilla","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48997315084543,"sku":"9798278781110","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/data-power-and-integrity-jonathan-salvilla-9798278781110","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
