ZOLETA-NANTES 53 EDITOR'S NOTE This issue features three articles on public policy at the grassroots level in the Philippines. '~ Study of the Public Education Domain of the Philippine Mental Health Association ( 1996-2002)," describes and assesses the prevention education services conducted by PMHA, a non-government organization considered a major stakeholder in the mental health system of the country. The bases for assessment is the Monitoring Instrument for Mental Health Systems and Services: PilotTrial Version, December 2003 of the WHO, Western Pacific Regional Office. The study notes the nationwide reach of the PMHA' s public education program but recommends a systematic review and feedback mechanism to monitor efficient use of resources and delivery of services. Such mechanism could give policymakers a firm hold on the core issues on mental health in the country and provide the bases for a sustainable program benefiting specific populations in specific areas. "How Community-Based Research Influences National Policy on Water Management in the Philippines," documents the process by which community­ based research on water management in Lantapan, Bukidnon, south of the Philippines, can "spiral" towards national policy. Local researchers bring up research results to partners in national agencies to help shape a national policy built on three key components: the diminishing water resources in rural areas, the assessment of water quality and trends, and a water management approach based on proper water­ shed planning. The authors argue that the impacts of their efforts are not immediately visible, so it is premature to claim success. They note as significant, however, how the Lantapan case reflects the broadening of the "sphere" of public policy influence to include not just policy analysts but the private sector and the civil society as well. "Development-Induced Displacement, Resettlement Experiences and Impoverishment and Marginalization in Pagbilao, Quezon and San Manuel, Pangasinan" demonstrates the high costs of industrialization to the quality of life. Two large companies provide energy to industry and build complimentary infrastructure such as roads and classrooms. The government, through the National Power Corporation, subsequently undertakes a resettlement program but this is done in the absence of democratic consultations. It is unable thus to set up a sustainable livelihood program suitable to the needs and skills of the displacees, provide them with capital, and consider social differences such as age and gender. The net effect is the perpetuation of poverty and further marginalization of the resettlers. The study recommends conjoined action of national and international groups to pressure the government into implementing holistic resettlement programs. The three studies suggest that public policy must be sited in a communal space occupied jointly by the state and the public (to recall Barthes). The vision of social transformation is inevitably a political project but it is one in which various stakeholders seek to be heard above the din in the halls of politicians. CORAZON D. VILLAREAL Issue Editor PAJBLIC JULY· DECEMBER 2004 1_/0LICY VOLUME 8 NUMBER 2 ----- ~~~~~~~~ A Study of the Public Education Domain of the Philippine Mental Health Association (1996-2002) Agnes Rosario A. de Leon Abstract This research is an assessment of the public education domain (prevention education information services) of the Philippine Mental Health Association (PMHA) for the period 1996 to 2002. The Education Information Services (EIS) is the primary program of PMHA. PMHA is a non-government organization recognized by the DOH as one of the leading stakeholders in the Philippine mental health system. Based on its 3 Programs and 9 provincial Chapters, PMHA participates at all levels of the system through grass-roots level delivery of services as well as national level advocacy. Permission was obtained from WHO Western Pacific Regional Office to use the WHO (2003) Monitoring Mental Health Systems and Services: Monitoring Instrument (Pilot Trial Version-December 2003), MER, WHO, Geneva as framework for data analysis. The said Instrument is structured on the concepts of "domain," "facets," and "indicators." In the said study, the domain identified is public education while the facets include agencies, institutions, and services promoting public education and awareness campaigns. The indicators refer to the a) policy for public education, b) agencies/institutions for public education and awareness campaigns, c) target populations, d) coverage of educational campaigns, and e) media used in campaigns. It is important to assess the public education domain of the PMHA in order to rationalize the different programs and services of the national head office and de Leon the 9 regional chapters coordinating and overseeing campaigns for public education and information on mental health. Since there is no coherent data base on public education and information services on mental health in the country, an information system is proposed for collecting and reporting mental health information. Likewise, a monitoring system is needed to prioritize expenditures for public education and awareness campaigns of identified target populations as well as for optimal utilization and coverage of media in preventing mental disorders and promoting mental health campaigns. The methodology used was exploratory-qualitative evaluation. Documents for the six-year period were reviewed: the yearly accomplishments, minutes of board meetings, newsletters, articles, and other relevant publications of and about the PMHA national head office and nine provincial chapters. Key informants -­ the president, the executive director and other key officers of the national and provincial chapters -- were interviewed. Available data on other aspects of the PMHA public education domain were gathered, collated and analyzed. These included data on campaigns and activities for public education and information on mental health, existing programs and services and plans related to these, policy for public education, agencies (affiliated with PMHA) for public education, target population in the educational campaigns, coverage of educational campaigns and media used in the campaigns. The study shows that PMHA has a wide range of educational materials and a potential nation-wide audience of 15 to 35 million a year for its annual public education and information campaigns (PMHA Focus, on Mental Health 1996- 2002). The national office in Quezon City, Philippines and the

  • 2011 Communications
    20 Communications Introduction . E fficient communication systems bridge all sectors making the transfer of communication fast and smooth. It makes communication between individuals and among entities easy and the transfer of information and data speedy and secure. Reliable and efficient communication systems, in effect, can help spur and generate expanded markets for industries and for the country’s economic growth and development. Recognizing this, the Philippine government, through the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC), has continued to create and implement programs that will support the demands of the public for a more efficient communications system. Today, the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has advanced quite well marking the government to find needed strategies to promote its sustainable development. Presented in this chapter are data on the telecommunications industry as well as statistics on ICT. Postal services, print media, film industry and advertising services are likewise discussed. 20.1 Telecommunications Development of Telecommunications Telecommunication industry had its beginning in 1867 when the telegraph service was first introduced. The sole telecommunications infrastructure by that time included submarine cables installed by a foreign company, the Royal Telegraph Corporation. These lines connected Manila and Corregidor when the country was then a colony of Spain. Thereafter, submarine cables were extended to other parts of the country. Later in the same year, two other companies forged a 20-year development contract with the Spanish government, linking Manila with Cebu, Bacolod, Capiz, and Iloilo. Shortly after, the country developed overseas connections via submarine cables connecting Bolinao in Pangasinan to Hong Kong. The coming of the Americans in the 1900s improved communication facilities.
