WHAT
do police and military academies have in common with a state agency
tasked to light up the country? These three institutions come from
various fields but their paths converge toward one direction: the
Governance Pathway. As partners of the Institute for Solidarity
in Asia (ISA), the three national public institutions employ good
governance practices and commit to follow a roadmap. They will track
their performance using ISA’s Philippine Governance System (PGS),
a local adaptation of the Harvard Business School’s balanced scorecard
tool for monitoring performance targets.

The
three public institutions are the: National Electrification Administration
(PGS Initiated), Philippine National Police Academy (PGS Compliant),
and the Philippine Military Academy (PGS Proficient). At the Mahal
Ko Ang Pilipinas Public Governance Forum (MKAP Forum) on August
30 at Sofitel Philippine Plaza, top officials of the three institutions
share their lessons and challenges in applying the PGS in their
governance practices. Representing the three were: Edita Bueno,
NEA administrator; Col. Nestor Fajura, PNPA director; and Maj. Gen.
Leopoldo Maligalig, PMA superintendent.

YOU
have laid down a road map towards 2015. You have embraced the Public
Governance System (PGS) and are now ready with your indicators to
track your progress. But do your constituents know what you are
doing and where you are taking them? “Governance is essentially
participatory. You have to win the buy-in of as many participants
as possible,” said Dr. Jesus P. Estanislao, ISA founder and chairman,
at the ISA Learning Institute
on Aug. 29.
