Buttressing Good Governance with Creating Public Value for Program Administration: Institutionalizing Reforms for the Implementation of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program

25/9/2019

0 Comments

 
Prof. Emmanuel A. Alfiler (Philippine Christian University)

The study aims to:
  1. Determine how the “Creating Public Value for Good Governance Framework”, as developed by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in 2003, could be “buttressed” and reinforced by “Public Value Theory” developed by Mark H. Moore, to create a common framework for analyzing institutional reforms being implemented through developmental program;
  2. Attempt to explain why the implementation of the Philippines’ Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP) is taking quite long;
  3. Determine how the “Creating Value for Good Governance Framework” herein proposed, will be able to:
    1. Evaluate the degree of political development of the administration; and
    2. Recommend solutions to the concerns identified in the implementation of the CARP.

THE ACCEPTABILITY OF GOVERNMENT AGENCIES ON ANONYMIZED COMPETENCY-BASED RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION PROCESS

25/9/2019

4 Comments

 
Ms. Analiza V. Muñoz (Civil Service Commission)

This study is conducted to improve the Philippine public sector’s recruitment process. The Civil Service Commission (CSC), the government’s central human resource agency, in order to promote appointments that put emphasis on merit and fitness, has developed competency- based recruitment that identifies observable, measurable and verifiable factors based on an applicant’s demonstrated technical and behavioral skills.

Blind Hiring Process is carefully considered as an improvement in such an endeavor. This process anonymizes an individual’s demographic information, which was said to create conscious and unconscious biases. This promotes equality and diversity in the recruitment process through objective assessment of skills and knowledge, free of biases from their name, status, gender, age, and school attended.

Through Blind Hiring, the applicant’s demographic profile will be removed/hidden but secured by an Applicant's Code/Reference in the application form, examination and shortlist submitted for selection by the appointing authority.

To examine the acceptability and effectiveness of this process, the researcher used a survey questionnaire and presented it on quantitative approach. The respondents are randomly selected from three government agencies in Quezon City. The result provides high acceptability and employee morale. Therefore, the researcher used "Anonymized Competency-Based Recruitment" to integrate the Blind Hiring into the CSC’s competency-based approach.

An Evaluation of the 2017 Free Tuition Policy IN THE PHILIPPINES: THE CASE OF DON HONORIO VENTURA STATE UNIVERSITY

25/9/2019

0 Comments

 
Prof. Julius M. Velasco (Don Honorio Ventura State University)

Quality education at all levels is one of the foundations of sustainable development. Last August 3, 2017, the Republic Act 10931 also known as the Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education was enacted. It is anchored on the government’s priority thrust of poverty alleviation and is aimed at providing all Filipinos with equal opportunity to quality tertiary education. Prior to its enactment, President Rodrigo Duterte’s administration had already implemented an initial run of providing ‘universal’ access to tertiary education referred to as the ‘2017 Free Tuition Policy in State Universities and Colleges.’ The purpose of this paper is to assess how this policy had been carried out administratively. A Qualitative Research was conducted which assessed the administrative efficiency, effectiveness, and equity of its implementation. Don Honorio Ventura State University (DHVSU), a state university in Pampanga mandated to provide advanced instruction and professional training in education, engineering, science and technology, arts and humanities, computer and other relevant fields of study, was used as a case study. The findings show that the provisions of the policy are administratively feasible despite the challenges encountered. A conclusion of the different lessons of DHVSU's implementation of the policy is presented, thereby, recommending different administrative policies that can be considered to ensure the successful implementation of universal access to quality tertiary education in the Philippines.
