Many great things can result from the small contributions of many different people.

Jess Estanislao It Can Be Done, 2016 What partners say about ISA

LOCAL GOVERNMENT UNIT

“From the day we decided to adopt the Performance Governance System (PGS), the Municipality of Samal started to walk in a clearer path of good governance. PGS has been a very effective tool to translate our vision into measurable metrics of actions and deeds. I am excited to witness how our fourth-income class municipality will gradually transform into a growing metropolis through the help of PGS. All Samaleños started to work hand-in-hand for the welfare of our motherland: a government that delivers; leaders who truly serve; and citizens who get involved.”

Generosa “Gene” Malibiran Dela Fuente, Municipal Government of Samal

NATIONAL GOVERNMENT AGENCY

“The Department of Public Works and Highways’ (DPWH) commitment to the PGS with the guiding principles of the Institute for Solidarity in Asia (ISA), has inspired the organization to not only win personal battles, but also to achieve the goals the Department deems necessary to existentially define who we are. Achieving these goals, however, has not been the challenge in the six years of dealing with such undertaking. It is the constant unwavering commitment of the Department’s workforce to break the boundaries set by the bureaucracy and to go beyond what is satisfactorily acceptable.”

Raul Asis, Undersecretary Department of Public Works and Highways

INSTITUTIONAL PARTNER

“The National Competitiveness Council (NCC) believes good governance drives progress and is vital for a country to be more globally competitive. We are privileged to have ​in ​ISA a ​passionate ​partner in realising this advocacy. Through the PGS program, the​ public​ and private sector have been brought together ​to work towards good governance in a collaborative, accountable, sustainable, and strategic manner. This will be critical for achieving transformative outcomes for a more progressive .”

Building our Dream Philippines where every government institution delivers and every citizen prospers

In the weeks leading to the People Power Revolution of 2001, a peaceful protest that overthrew a corrupt presidency and exposed the frailties of Philippine government, economist and former finance minister Jesus Estanislao gathered reform-minded influencers from different disciplines to form the Institute for Solidarity in Asia (ISA). Together, its founding members sought a return to values and meaningful civic participation, and envisioned a nation led by strong and upright democratic institutions.

Recognising governance as key to bringing about long wanted breakthroughs and transformations, ISA took on many significant projects in its early years, including serving as Secretariat of the National Governance Advisory Council, authoring and monitoring the Code of Good Governance for Professions, and setting up the Centres for Leadership in East Asia Network or CLEAN.

Today, ISA is emerging as the country’s foremost authority on transforming the public sector for good. We work with handpicked national agencies and local governments to create strategies that yield big reforms and result in better public service, more entrepreneurship and investments, and new opportunities to raise household incomes.

We carry out our mission of making governance a shared responsibility by:

• Working directly with decision-makers to set up governance reform programs • Building governance reform capacities through training and one-on-one interventions • Involving civil society leaders as governance reform mentors and advisors • Requiring government leaders to deliver impact reports in public forums • Recognising government institutions for visible impact achieved through governance reform • Publishing books and articles that show the impact of governance reform in the Philippines

Through all these, we stay true to the aspirations of “people power”, involving as many as we can in building a Dream Philippines where every government institution delivers and every citizen prospers.

DUQUE III, M.D., M.SC. get involved. Everyone must participate. Everyone CHAIRMAN must add value.”

We also launched the very first Dream Philippines Fair in October, where we gathered individuals from different sectors to discuss ways to help build our Dream Philippines—a country where every institution delivers and every individual prospers. From the private sector to schools and the youth, we solicited ideas on what everyone’s roles can be in an ever-evolving nation. In his keynote address at the event, UnionBank Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Justo Ortiz said: “The proper end of government is the promotion of its citizens’

9 Performance Governance System

The Performance Governance System (PGS) is a holistic and collaborative framework for designing and executing roadmaps to reform. It culls global best practices in managing strategy to meet the rising needs of Philippine public sector institutions, building governance reform capacities across a four-stage pathway. PGS addresses a wide array of challenges while also yielding niched impact. At the national level this means world-class public service, and at the local level, a robust economy.

INITIATION

The public sector institution gathers its leadership team, representatives from each level of the organization, and external stakeholders to design a Governance Reform Roadmap that captures its core values, mission, and time-bound vision and reform strategy. Success in executing this plan is measured and monitored in a corresponding Governance Reform Scorecard.

COMPLIANCE

The public sector institution begins executing its reform strategy by educating key offices about their roles, communicating their intentions and plans to all of their stakeholders, and linking reform initiatives to budget. Distinguished and expert stakeholders are invited to form the Multi-Governance Coalition that will safeguard and guide the reform strategy.

PROFICENCY

The public sector institution creates an Office of Strategy Management (OSM) that oversees execution of the reform strategy and tracks, reviews, and reports successes and areas of weakness using the Governance Reform Scorecard. A strategy refresh is recommended to ensure that the Governance Reform Roadmap remains responsive to changing needs.

INSTITUTIONALIZATION

The public sector institution delivers breakthrough results and ensures sustainability of the reform strategy, as verified by audit. Best practices and innovations are shared with the institution’s circle of influence. Organizations that reach this stage are then recognized as Islands of Good Governance (IGG).

The OMB aims for “an economy that is free from digital where there is a level playing field for all legitimate players”. This will be achieved through focusing OMB’s enforcement efforts on the hotspots and sources of optical media piracy, thereby increasing the number of cases filed against importers, duplicators, and replicators of digitally-pirated goods, and by shifting its regulatory scope from container-based regulation to content-based regulation.

HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT COORDINATING COUNCIL

The HUDCC envisions a Philippines with “decent and affordable housing opportunities, and sustainable human settlements and communities especially for families belonging to the lowest income strata”. As an oversight agency, HUDCC will provide the overall direction to the Key Shelter Agencies (i.e PAG-IBIG, NHMFC etc.) in developing happy homes in well-planned cities.

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS AND HIGHWAYS

DPWH refreshed its strategy in its effort to continue improving the lives of Filipinos through quality infrastructure. The Department identified three focus areas that will contribute to the national development objectives: (1) construct a seamless transport system to decongest traffic and enhance mobility, (2) provide the engineering solution to road safety concerns, and (3) build disaster-resilient structures in disaster-prone areas.

12 Local Government Units

MUNICIPALITY OF ORANI, BATAAN

Orani envisions itself within the Top 5 ecotourism destinations in by 2020, and has been working towards this vision by maximizing the potentials of its existing ecotourism sites. The LGU also thought of promoting well-loved products manufactured by the people of Orani. Essentially, the LGU wants to showcase biodiversity in the area and to capitalize on its inherent natural resources while aiming for sustainability.

MUNICIPALITY OF SAMAL, BATAAN

With the natural harbor and port of Manila or the Manila Bay just adjacent to the town, the natural land layout of Samal makes it a considerable place for agro-industrial sites. This then underscores its focused industry—with “agro-industrial” indicating large scale production, processing, and packaging of agriculture-related foods and goods— and its vision of being within the top 3 preferred sites for agro-industrial enterprises in the country by 2020.

MUNICIPALITY OF PILAR, BATAAN

To become the historical-cultural center of Luzon by 2020, Pilar aims to develop a thematic brand of tourism to differentiate it from the brand of tourism of other towns in the province and to provide visitors with a unique experience through the focus on its history and culture. The LGU intends to capitalize on Mt. Samat and develop the area leading to the site in order to spur economic activity through tourism.

MUNICIPALITY OF MARIVELES, BATAAN

To achieve its vision of becoming the number one industrial tourism destination in the Philippines by 2020, Mariveles wants to leverage on the Freeport Area of Bataan (FAB) and maximize the presence of industrial sites in the municipality. Mariveles also intends to give tours on the processes involved in producing different kind of products and involve visits to natural sites to show the balance between being an industrial town and also having sustained natural resources.

PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT OF LA UNION

The La Union Province aims to further spread the growth and recognition to the other municipalities by leveraging on agriculture and tourism since it aims to be the heart of agri-tourism in Northern Luzon by 2025. The province will make a concerted effort on linking all tourism sites and support services into one circuit with one or two agri-tourism sites as centerpiece to attract not only tourists, but also investors.

13 Public Governance Revalida

The Public Governance Revalida is where the heads of ISA’s partner institutions deliver impact reports to a multi- sector panel before they are officially recognised for their achievements in the same event. The Institute selects panelists for the public revalida based on their expertise in governance, anti-corruption, and strategy management concepts and programs, and on their knowledge of the presenting institution’s field and intended breakthroughs.

17 Dream Philippines Fair

The Dream Philippines Fair serves as an avenue for knowledge sharing between public and private institutions, youth and schools, ordinary Filipino citizens, and other stakeholders. It intends to spark the hope that governance reform is possible, and that there are many ways to take part in it. It takes off from almost 10 years of bringing people together through the Public Governance Forum, and opens its doors to further initiatives and ideas. It draws inspiration from the Galing Pook Foundation’s Governance Fair and the Joint Foreign Chambers’ Arangkada Philippines Forum.

On October 18, 2016, 268 delegates from 29 participating organizations attended the launch of the Dream Philippines Fair. Guests presented their nation-building initiatives through keynote speeches and roundtable discussions, where civic involvement surfaced as a recurring theme.

About the book

After nearly 15 years of pushing for reforms in various national- and local- level government institutions, the Institute for Solidarity in Asia (ISA) has witnessed firsthand the transformative power of governance as a positive complement to the massive anti- corruption efforts undertaken by government and various watchdog groups. We are sharing success stories from our experience to help advance the speed and scale of reforms in the Philippine public sector, as well as to plant the seeds of change in neighboring countries where growth is still stifled by corrupt and inefficient government practices.

We want to affect a change in public mindset in the Philippines, where government as a whole viewed as unwilling to take steps toward lasting reforms or even as indifferent to the interests of the people. Our true and concrete stories of success can stand as proof that there are public sector institutions that have been able to transform themselves to serve as models of governance for many others. Moreover, these 12 inspiring stories of governance identify people participation as the key to real change and therefore hold every Filipino citizen to a higher standard.
