The two-day conference showcased the rich and fruitful experiences of local government units in using CBMS for planning, program formulation, policy impact assessment and poverty monitoring. The first day of the conference served as a policy forum for a wide range of CBMS stakeholders including heads of national government agencies, local chief executives and non-government organization (NGO) representatives. Also featured were the experiences of the Province of Palawan, the City of Puerto Princesa (also in Palawan) and the Municipality of Labo in Camarines Norte in implementing their own local poverty monitoring systems. The second day, on the other hand, focused on technical discussions on the various applications of CBMS as well as on the best practices and lessons learned by the LGU partners of the CBMS Network Coordinating Team. The highlights of the discussions after every session are likewise documented here to provide the reader with a comprehensive view of the wealth of ideas that emerged during the conference. The conference, which was attended by at least 100 delegates from local and national government agencies, the academe and various international organizations, was made possible with the aid of a grant from the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) based in Ottawa, Canada. ix (BLANK PAGE) x Program September 23, 2004 Registration Opening Ceremony Master of Ceremonies: Mr. Raymund Habaradas Assistant Professor, College of Business and Management De La Salle University National Anthem/Invocation Opening Remarks Dr. Ponciano S.

  • The Barangay Justice System in the Philippines: Is It an Effective Alternative to Improve Access to Justice for Disadvantaged People?
    THE BARANGAY JUSTICE SYSTEM IN THE PHILIPPINES: IS IT AN EFFECTIVE ALTERNATIVE TO IMPROVE ACCESS TO JUSTICE FOR DISADVANTAGED PEOPLE? Dissertation for the MA in Governance and Development Institute of Development Studies University of Sussex By Silvia Sanz-Ramos Rojo September 2002 Policy Paper SUMMARY This paper will analyse the Barangay Justice System (BJS) in the Philippines, which is a community mediation programme, whose overarching objective is to deliver speedy, cost-efficient and quality justice through non-adversarial processes. The increasing recognition that this programme has recently acquired is mainly connected with the need to decongest the formal courts, although this paper will attempt to illustrate the positive impact it is having on improving access to justice for all community residents, including the most disadvantaged. Similarly, the paper will focus on link between the institutionalisation of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) and the decentralisation framework in the country. It will discuss how the challenging devolution of powers and responsibilities from the central government to the barangays (village) has facilitated the formal recognition of the BJS as an alternative forum for the resolution of family and community disputes. Moreover, the paper will support the idea that dispute resolution is not autonomous from other social, political and economic components of social systems, and will therefore explore how the BJS actually works within the context of the Philippine society. Thus, the analysis will be based on the differences between how the BJS should work according to the law and how it really operates in practice. It will particularly exhibit the main strengths and limitations of the BJS, and will propose certain recommendations to overcome the operational problems in order to ensure its effectiveness as an alternative to improve access to justice for the poor.

It is timely that development partners and local authorities gather together to share a common perspective and understanding of the implications of climate change adaptation to local economic development. We see the impact of climate change in the global arena. Here in the Philippines –the dry, hot season and rainy season occur in a pattern that defies accurate prediction, departing from what used to be their normal occurrence, notably the El Niño and the La Niña phenomena. But one thing is certain: We are bound to be affected if we are not prepared to cope with the consequences. In the area of local economic development (LED), you have made it to this historic conference to share and learn how development partners and local authorities play a vital role in climate change adaptation.

  • Conflict of Interest and Good Governance in the Public Sector — Looking at the Private Interests of Government Officials Within a Spectrum
    Conflict of Interest and Good Governance in the Public Sector — Looking at the Private Interests of Government Officials Within a Spectrum MARY JUDE CANTORIAS MARVEL* Introduction A discussion of good governance principles is timely amidst the backdrop of the coming Philippine elections. Patronage has always played a key role in Philippine politics and it may be wishful thinking to believe that the electorate will, this time around, choose their elected government officials based on platform and not on “who-can-give-the-most-dole-outs” but one can hope. Philippine local elections tend to be prone to dole outs in that, at the grass roots level, the public look to their locally elected politicians as direct sources of funding to spend on the town fiesta, a wedding, a funeral, building a make-shift basketball court where the town’s people can play a round of hoops to distract the unemployed, ad infinitum. This popular concept in politics has been named the “patron- client relations framework,” as defined in a study conducted by the Institute for Political and Electoral Reform: In this framework, political leaders who are of a higher socio-economic status (patron), acquire power by providing material benefits to people of lower status (client), who in turn, commit their votes to the patron during elections. Electoral exercises are often oriented to * The author is an alumna of the Arellano University School of Law (AUSL).

  • Governance of the Barangay Chairpersons in the Municipality of Ubay Bohol
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF BUSINESS AND MANAGEMENT STUDIES Vol 9, No 1, 2017 ISSN: 1309-8047 (Online) GOVERNANCE OF THE BARANGAY CHAIRPERSONS IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF UBAY BOHOL Sheena L. Boysillo, MPA Holy Name University Governance of the Barangay Chairpersons in the Municipality of Ubay Bohol [email protected] ─Abstract ─ Barangay governance plays a vital role in the empowerment of the local government units in the country. This is linked with the leader’s accountability, fairness, and transparency in the exercise of his duties and functions as a servant in his community. This study aimed to evaluate the governance of the Barangay Chairpersons in the Municipality of Ubay, Bohol. The researcher employed the descriptive survey questionnaire using quantitative design and a key informant interview using a qualitative approach. Results showed that the higher the IRA (Internal Revenue Allotment) given to the barangays, the more programs and projects are implemented because funds had been given to them as a subsidy for continuous developments. The results also indicated that majority of the Barangay Chairpersons were able to deliver very satisfactory public services in their barangays which also indicated that the core values of governance namely fairness, transparency and accountability were strengthened by the barangay chairmen during their term of office. The study concluded that the Local Government Code of 1991 paved the way for greater local autonomy to bring government closer to the doorsteps of the people. Key Words: Governance, Accountability, Fairness, Transparency JEL Classification: Z00 50 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF BUSINESS AND MANAGEMENT STUDIES Vol 9, No 1, 2017 ISSN: 1309-8047 (Online) 1.

  • Position Classification and Compensation Scheme in Local Government Units
    Chapter 9 Position Classification and Compensation Scheme in Local Government Units 9.1 Historical Background 9.1.1 Before Presidential Decree (PD) No. 1136 Local governments are political units composed of provinces, cities, municipalities and barangays. They have long been existing with their own legislative bodies which are endowed with specific powers as defined in the Revised Administrative Code and individual local government unit (LGU) charters. These local legislative bodies were then called provincial boards in the case of provinces, city councils in cities and municipal councils in municipalities. These local legislative bodies were vested with the power to determine the number of employees that each office should have and to fix their salary rates as agreed upon by the majority. In exercising such power, however, there were no specific guidelines nor definite standards used in the creation of positions and the fixing of salaries. Position titles were not descriptive nor reflective of the duties and responsibilities of the positions and salaries were fixed arbitrarily. For local officials, however, laws such as Republic Act (RA) No. 268 as amended, and RA No. 4477 were passed by Congress fixing the salaries of municipal, provincial and city officials. These salary laws created a wide gap between the salaries of rank-and-file employees and the officials. 9.1.2 PD No. 1136 Cognizant of the need for a more effective local government personnel administration, PD No. 1136, “The Local Government Personnel Administration and Compensation Plans Decree of 1977,” was promulgated on May 5, 1977. Its salient features are as follows: 9.1.2.1 The creation of the Joint Commission on Local Government Personnel Administration (JCLGPA) to formulate policies on local government personnel administration, position classification and pay administration; and to implement the provisions of PD No.
