The permanent document issue with your option 1 can be mitigated by storing the file in IPFS. It takes the idea from VERY BAD to BAD.

It doesn't matter if you solve "accounting" if the process is effed up anyway.

IMO, all of these are basically shoehorning a technological solution to a social/cultural problem which technologists really love doing.

We already know that we lost so much in Pork Barrel, Philhealth, etc. Even the one that was voted into power hasn't returned their ill-gotten wealth. Even if they return the principal, the interest on their wealth alone is probably going to eclipse the principal.

If those that has the means to hold these people accountable is not willing to do so, then more visibility is not going to do anything.

It's really difficult to combat corruption if more than 51% of those involved are corrupt (just like in any blockchain). The Byzantine Generals framework requires the majority of generals to be honest and truthful.
