Dr. Orbeta and Mr. Cabalfin (education), Dr. Lavado (health) and Dr. Israel (water) wrote the sectoral sections in Chapter 10 and 11. Mr. Layug was responsible for the consolidation of the report. For the Local Service Delivery (LSD) survey, the following are hereby being acknowledged: Dr. Manasan for the concept paper of the survey instrument; Dr. Jose Ramon G. Albert and Janet S. Cuenca for the formulation and preparation of survey instruments used for the survey; Ms.Cuenca for the supervision of pretest survey, preparation of encoding template, and supervision of encoding the completed survey questionnaires; and Dr. Israel and Mr. Layug for the enumerators’ training of National Statistics Office (NSO) survey specialists from NSO-Region 7 and NSO-Caraga . The authors would like to acknowledge the excellent research assistance provided by Michael Ralph M. Abrigo, Leilani E. Bolong, Ida Marie T. Pantig, Fatima Lourdes E. Del Prado, and Donald B. Yasay. For the encoding, assistance was provided by Carole Kaye D. Cabahug, Noemi C. Dorig, Andre Phillipe E. Ramos, Jocelyn P. Almeda, Christine Ruth P. Salazar, and Larraine C. Zafe. This report greatly benefited from the comments and suggestions provided by the UNICEF Regional and Philippine Country Offices; from the assistance in the fieldwork by Engr. Deanne P. Fudalan (Provincial Planning and Development Officer of Agusan Del Sur), Ms. Jocelyn P. Gongob (Provincial Planning and Development Officer of Negros Oriental), and Engr. Josephine M. Antonio (City Planning and Development Officer of Dumaguete City), as well as the Local Finance Committees of Prosperidad, Bayugan, and Sibagat in Agusan Del Sur and those of the Province of Negros Oriental and Dumaguete City; and from the assistance for the LSD survey by Director Rosalinda C. Celeste (OIC-Regional Director of NSO-Caraga) and Engr. Ariel E. Florendo (OIC-Regional Director of NSO-Region 7). The views expressed in this report are those of the individual authors and do not necessarily reflect the views and policies of the PIDS, UNICEF, and other institutions associated with the studies presented. Abstract This report argues that improving local service delivery (LSD) is about improving people’s lives. It is premised on the idea that better provision of public goods and services is a prerequisite to realizing human capabilities, thus expanding human freedoms and enhancing human lives for a better society. It investigates on improving local delivery of MDG-critical services such as education, health, and water, with a view to formulating sectoral decentralization policy frameworks that would serve as inputs to national strategies and plans in improving LSD in the Philippines. It develops a Triangulation Framework as a tool of analysis that provides a perspective on how to better understand the dynamics of LSD systems and the requirements for improving them through the interdependence of policy, institutions, and finance. Corollary argument is that institutional actors take a primordial role in improving LSD systems and practices despite policy and financial gaps and development challenges. Policy, institutional and financial analyses at the national level are provided in contextualizing the sectoral discussions on primary and secondary education, maternal and child health, and potable water based on sector analysis and performance outcomes in the LSD areas of Agusan del Sur and Dumaguete City. The main thrusts of the sectoral discussions are the key findings, issues and challenges, reforms and recommendations, and areas for further research. The cross- cutting key findings are: (a) seeming universal espousal of people-centered service delivery; (b) critical role of LCEs in improving LSD; (c) scarcity of resources; (d) practice of needs-based prioritization of local officials; (e) need for constant capacity development of local governments; (f) crucial role of the national government in providing support; (g) imperative to balance national, regional and local development plans; (h) presence of success/failure factors related to service standards; (i) nexus of supply-side and demand-side of governance; (j) omnipresence of politics even in matters of local service delivery; and (k) limited availment of opportunities for public-private partnerships. Based on the key findings, the major conclusions are: (i) the three sectors, i.e. education, health, and water supply, are complementarities, and require holistic frameworks; (ii) decentralization can only create an enabling environment for local service delivery if and only if it is designed properly; (iii) improvement of local service delivery systems and practices depends greatly on the interdependence of policy, institutions, and finance; (iv) accountability could serve as an analytic framework of local service delivery; and (v) local service delivery systems do not exist in vacuums but are played out in oftentimes unfavorable political, economic, and social milieu. Key words: local service delivery, decentralization, triangulation, institutions, governance, Millennium Development Goals, Philippines Executive Summary This report argues that improving local service delivery (LSD) is about improving people’s lives. It is premised on the idea that better provision of public goods and services (e.g., education, health, and water) is a prerequisite to realizing human capabilities, thus expanding human freedoms and enhancing human lives for a better society. This report is important for three reasons. First, it assesses LSD systems and practices in the Philippines based on the performance of select three sectors, i.e., education, health, and water. Second, based on the sectoral analyses and comparative assessment, it explores how LSD systems and practices can be improved in order to formulate sectoral decentralization policy frameworks that would serve as inputs to national strategies

Most of the crimes against news correspondents remain unsolved not out of lack of evidence but often out of lack of sincerity in solving cases which are an embarrassment to the Republic and its criminal force, elected government officials, the only major organized crime in the Philippines. Perhaps with the disclosures contained herein some compassionate civil workers may wish to redeem themselves. This book is also dedicated t o those brave Filipinos who dare defy a system which has corrupted their land from the lowest levels and continuing through to the various agencies, departments, and bureaus which purport to represent the people.

They also said the government knows what is good for them as regard the looming danger that threatens their survival. In one case, the governor offered to be a wedding sponsor of the daughter of a resistant couple in order to express his good intention, and it worked. Some households also could not resist the offer of a free house. In contrast, respondents whose houses are closer to the lake and are visible from where the restaurant is located would rather believe that they have to be resettled primarily because they are con- sidered as ecological threats to the lake and its aesthetic quality.
