ABOUT THE COVER AND THEME

The perfect form of the dome has endured as a symbol of great human achievement from

the time of the Pantheon until this day. It is a place where people converge to discuss andagree on issues that are important to them. Some cultures even consider it as a symbol of theuniverse enclosing a sanctuary where God and man meet.

The NCPAG dome reflects this history and signifies the relationships that the Collegestrives to build and intensify as it takes on new challenges in the fulfillment of its mandate. Thedome is where the students, faculty, staff and guests assemble to celebrate the College’s mostimportant events. As the College steps into an era of greater expectations brought about by thecoming UP Centennial in 2008, the contributions of its partners are central and essential to

what the College has envisioned to achieve in the coming years.

MESSAGE

I would like to congratulate the faculty and staff of the UP National

College of Public Administration and Governance on your excellent

achievements in 2005.

I am glad that your accomplishments have been recorded for posterity.

Future generations of students and administrators will have much to learn

from you. Your theme “Forging Stable Partnerships in Managing Change”

is also a timely one. Stability and unity are certainly essential elements for

us to be able to get our national and local governance back on track for the

good of the country.

May the NCPAG continue to build on its past successes and lead the

way in public administration research and education.

Mabuhay kayong lahat!

MESSAGE

This “Annual Report” lists the activities and

achievements of NCPAG in 2005. It is of great

interest because while some of the achievements

listed here seem to have limited significance, such

as the development of a mini-forest in the back

of the NCPAG building, others have a broader

impact, like the rendering of extension services

to different government and non-governmental

institutions. Certainly, the college’s continuing pursuit of excellence in the field

of public administration and governance, both through teaching and research,

impacts the country widely and proves that NCPAG is doing its job in nation

building.

In perusing this “Annual Report,” it would be wise to note NCPAG’s

unwavering commitment to what the college’s website refers to as the NCPAG

values, such as fairness, equality and integrity. These values, along with

progressive thinking and dedication to public interest, inform and underpin all

the programs of NCPAG, academic or otherwise, and they should inform and

underpin all the programs and policies of those in the government. Only through

such unwavering commitment to these values will true and sustainable progress

take place in our country.

Congratulations to the teachers and staff of NCPAG.

Introduction by the Dean

These are interesting times for the College. These are good times as well.

The year 2005 was a year marked by our continuous efforts to build upon the hardearned gains of the College over the past 53 years. Building upon the efforts of ourpredecessors, we strengthened our local and international networks, includingthe Association of Schools of Public Administration (ASPAP) and the EasternRegional Organization of Public Administration (EROPA). We have been given atremendous boost in the arm with the assistance of the United NationsDevelopment Programme (UNDP) Fostering Democratic Governance (FDG)Programme. Our College has been designated as the implementing partner forsaid Portfolio from 2005 to 2009.

It will also be recalled that the NCPAG has been rated by the Commission onHigher Education as the Number One and only Outstanding school of Public Administration in the country. While thehonor is indeed significant and a feather in our cap, the fact is that being Number One carries with it tremendousresponsibilities. NCPAG, therefore, continues to play a central role in shaping the agenda of the discourse and praxisof public administration and good governance in the Philippines.

It is within this context that our Annual Report for 2005 focuses on the theme “Forging Stable Partnerships in ManagingChange.” It underscores the key role of the College in leading and coordinating efforts to manage change in thePhilippine politico-administrative system through forging stable partnerships between and among the key actors andstakeholders of governance – practitioners and academics of public administration – national and local governmentagencies, non-government organizations (NGOs), people’s organizations (POs), the private and business sector,schools of public administration, and development agencies.

It has always been said that good governance is the missing link to improve public service delivery, combat corruption,pursue economic development and growth across regions which redound to national development. Indeed, thestatus quo is not acceptable. We have to work together to promote the necessary reforms at national and localgovernment levels, where organizational and institutional reforms are necessary. We need to forge partnerships inleading and implementing change and governance reform initiatives for good governance.

May I take this opportunity to thank the NCPAG family – the faculty, lecturers, the center directors and staff, library and

administrative personnel – for their continued commitment to be of service to the College and the University and to theclients of NCPAG. We are also grateful to Chancellor Sergio Cao and President Emerlinda Roman for their continuingsupport and encouragement.

Finally, indeed, 2005 has been another good year for all of us. For this we jointly thank our Lord for the many blessingsHe has bestowed upon us. We thank each and every member of the NCPAG family for the hard work, dedication,cooperation and sacrifice that led to these collective accomplishments we can all be proud of.

Indeed, these are very interesting times for public administration and governance in the Philippines.

6 NCPAG at

(now School of Urban and Regional Planning [SURP])

and the Philippine Executive Academy (now Center for

Integrative and Development Studies [CIDS])—are now

independent units of the University.

As it pioneered in the study and practice of public

administration vis-à-vis the government, the College

has broadened its perspective by expanding the

definition of the scope of public administration to

include governance for the public interest. This is the

rationale for the transformation of the College to the

National College of Public Administration and

Governance, which was approved by the U.P. Board of

Regents in its 1126th meeting on 26 November 1998.

In 2004, the Commission on Higher Education

(CHED) officially recognized NCPAG as the most

outstanding school of public administration in the

country. Along with this honor came the responsibility of

being able to lead other schools of public

administration by continually pursuing excellence in all

its endeavors.

In performing its three-fold function of instruction,

research and extension service, it has broadened its

scope from governmental management to the broader

concerns of governance, including the roles of the

private sector and civil society.

53

The National College of Public Administration and

Governance (NCPAG) has been the pioneering

leader of the discipline in the Philippines and in Asia

since its establishment as the Institute of Public

Administration in 1952. The College was established

as an offshoot of a contract between the University of

the Philippines and the University of Michigan to

provide training, teaching and research advocacy in

public administration mandated as an institution that

would help in nation building.

It started with a Master of Public Administration

program and a Bachelor of Arts in Public Administration

program. The Doctor of Public Administration program

was instituted in 1968. In the same year, the

undergraduate program was phased out. To respond to

the need for entry-level staff positions in the public

service, the undergraduate program was, however,

reinstituted in 1987. A Diploma program was also offered

starting the following year to enable administrators to

pursue specialized courses in public administration

without going through the long master’s degree.

Since its inception, the College has changed its

name four times—from an Institute to Graduate School

to College to National College of Public Administration

and Governance. Two major units created as part of

the College—the Institute of Environmental Planning

MOA signing between the officials of the University of the Philippines

and the University of Michigan to establish the Institute of Public Administration (1952).

7Key Areas of ACHIEVEMENT in 2005

Fostering Democratic

Governance Portfolio

Under the Government of the Philippines-United NationsDevelopment Programme (GOP-UNDP) 2005-2009 CountryProgram Action Plan (CPAP), the Fostering DemocraticGovernance Portfolio (FDGP) is focused on furthering the threestrategic reform areas that will build from the gains andlessons in previous country cooperation in the Philippines:

(i) political reform, which gives emphasis on theenhancement of democratic political institutions andprocesses that are inclusive and participatory, aresponsive and effective process of legislation,credible and efficient electoral process and aninclusive and participatory political system;

(ii) public administration reform, which pursuesadministrative reforms, anti-corruption measures,effective capacity building for national and localbureaucracy and partner institutions, and aidcoordination; and,

(iii) justice reform, which underscores a sustained andharmonized reform within and among the five pillarsof the criminal justice system – law enforcement,prosecution, courts, correctional and communityintegration.

The strategy emphasizes the progressive realization andimplementation of the standards of human rights andinstitutionalization of reforms for democratic governance. This“Rights and Reforms for Results” (RRR) approach is groundedlocally where interventions are directed not only at the nationallevel but also, more importantly, demonstrated at the level ofLGUs and grassroots communities. It calls to task the “duty-bearers” and enables them to perform their obligations inproviding the enabling environment for expandingopportunities for human freedoms and human development.

In 2005, UP-NCPAG was designated as the Programme’sImplementing Partner led by Dean Alex B. Brillantes, Jr. TheUP-NCPAG is part of the Advisory Board, which is alsocomposed of Mr. Antonio C. Fernandez, Jr. of NEDA, Dr.Emmanuel Buendia of UNDP, and some members of theGOP-UNDP Executive Committee. The Advisory Boarddecides at the policy and oversight level the direction andgeneral programme priorities for the period 2005-2009 in theCPAP.

The Implementing Partner regularly convenes with theirrespective Responsible Parties into appropriate clusters forconvergence and synchronization of project activities, as wellas proper coordination of the Annual Work Plan (AWP)implementation to ensure that programme outcomes are

being met.

Development and Ms. Rosette Librea of GOP-UNDP-PMO listen as

participating groups present their outputs.

hrough decades-long collaboration with international institutions and local organizations,

NCPAG has built for itself a long list of partners and co-workers in its aim to put excellence and integrity

into public service and governance. These partnerships have led to many researches, training programs,

and assessment programs for both the Philippine government and other international bodies to ensure that

the values that the College espouses are incorporated into the democratic processes of good governance

and public administration.

Diliman Governance Forum

Spun off from the Policy Issues Forum conducted by

the College during the term of Prof. Ledivina V. Cariño as

Dean, the Diliman Governance Forum (DGF) was

established as a venue for the discussion of current

issues, problems and concerns in public administration

and governance for the purpose of influencing policy and

decision-making in the government. It was launched in

September 2004 with the theme Reinventing,

Reengineering and Reorganizing the Bureaucracy in the

Philippines: Why We Should Be More Hopeful graced by

Prof. Emilia Boncodin, who was then the Secretary of the

Department of Budget and Management, and

Chairperson Karina Constantino-David of the Civil Service

Commission as guest speakers.

The success of the first DGF was followed by ten more

DGFs in 2004 and 2005 and the publication of the working

papers presented in three of the Fora held. The year 2005

produced seven DGFs touching on major issues in

politics, governance and economics. A continuous stream

of high profile and sometimes, even controversial,

combination of resource speakers and reactors from the

academic community, members of the civil society,

students, media and the government enhanced and

deepened the discussion among the participants and the

audience. The Forum also became a venue for concerned

Centers in the UP Diliman system, civil society groups,

international academic institutions, development

organizations, and students to work together by their

partnership in co-organizing the Forum on the topic in line

with their advocacy.

Sen. Rodolfo Biazon delivers a fiery speech on his perspective on

the proposed Charter Change during the 9th DGF. The Forum was

co-sponsored by NCPAG and the Third World Studies Center, CSSP,

UP Diliman.

The DGF is a continuing effort of the NCPAG to deepen

analysis and initiate collective action for public

administration reforms and better governance.

9Philippine Democracy Audit Project

The Philippine Democracy Assessment Project

is part of a loose network of countries doing their

respective democracy audit using the framework of

the International Institute for Democracy and

Electoral Assistance (IDEA) Sweden. Other countries

that have either done or updating the democracy

audit are Bangladesh, El Salvador, Italy, Kenya,

Malawi, New Zealand, Peru, South Korea, United

Kingdom, Australia, and Canada.

Two papers—Free and Fair Elections, and the

Democratic Role of Political Parties—were presented

and included in a book, Philippine Democracy

Assessment, which was sponsored by the Friedrich-

Ebert-Stiftung Foundation. The forum and papers on

the study on Economic and Social Rights and

Minimizing Corruption will commence in 2006.

Asia Link Programme

The year 2005 also saw the conclusion of a

three-year project by NCPAG and its partner

institutions in the Asia Link Program. The partners

designed the “Curriculum Development for Urban

Planning and Management with emphasis on

Poverty Alleviation (UPA)” (www.itc.nl/bridge/

asialink.html) as a response to the challenge of

managing the urbanization process to ensure that it

becomes a mechanism through which poverty can be

reduced. The UPA curriculum is a component of the

Asia-Link programme that was launched at the beginning

of 2002 as an initiative by the European Union (EU) to

foster regional and multilateral networking between

higher education institutions in EU Member States and

South Asia, Southeast Asia, and China.

The project produced five educational packages on

Poverty, Land Management, Best Practices in Planning,

GIS for Poverty Mapping and Poverty Alleviation, and

New Approaches and Instruments for Poverty Alleviation.

All these packages consist of a curriculum, a set of

readings, audiovisual materials, maps, and other

pertinent teaching materials that will be enough for three

weeks of teaching each package. The materials,

resources and scope that were integrated into the

curriculum can be extended and be made relevant to any

university that decide to implement the curriculum.

Throughout the Project, NCPAG worked with the

International Institute for Geo-Information Science and

Earth Observation (ITC-The Netherlands), Faculty of

Spatial Planning (SPRING) University of Dortmund

(Germany), School of Urban Studies Wuhan University

(PRC), and University of the Philippines School of Urban

and Regional Planning (SURP).

The Philippine Democracy Audit Project hosts a Diliman Governance Forum that invited experts from the government and

civil society to speak about their assessment of how the various institutions and structures of democracy actually work in the

Philippine context. Undersecretary Chito Gascon and Institute for Political and Electoral Reform Executive Director Ramon

Casiple were among the experts who were invited to speak in the Forum.

112005 Publications

In line with its research and extension services,

NCPAG publishes books through the Publications

Office, the Centers and the members of the faculty.

Many of these publications are circulated

internationally.

In 2005, the Publications Office produced two

issues of the Philippine Journal of Public

Administration (PJPA). The PJPA is a quarterly journal

distributed to individuals and institutions dedicated to

the practice of public administration and governance

all over the world and is the official journal of NCPAG.

The Publications Office also published three other

books and three issues of the Working Paper Series, a

compilation of papers presented at three DGFs.

The faculty members also had several works

published individually. They produced eight articles

published in different books or journals, six books,

fourteen papers and six articles published in a

magazine or periodical.

Four of the College’s faculty received International

Publication Award citations from President Emerlinda

R. Roman of the University. Dean Alex B. Brillantes

received the award in 2004 and 2005. Dr. Edna

Estifania A. Co, Prof. Maria Fe Villamejor Mendoza,

and Prof. Gabrielle R. Iglesias received the 2005

International Publication Award. Dr. Co received two

Improvement of College Facilities

Major institutional partners, the NCPAG Alumni Association, and some of its individual members gave

support to the renovations in the College, which started in 2004 with the Office of the College Secretary, the

Center for Public Administration and Governance Education (C-PAGE), and the NCPAG GIS Laboratory.

This was followed in 2005 with the construction of the NCPAG Dome, where the monthly flag ceremony,

major College assemblies, and the college recognition rites are now held. In the same year, the

Publications Office, library, assembly hall, and the atrium were refurbished or constructed to maximize

college facilities for the needs of the students, faculty, and the centers.

The construction and renovation of the College’s

facilities is a reflection of the new phase of challenges

which the College is ready to address.

The newly-renovated Publications Office now features

a mini bookstore that features titles that the College

has published over the years.

Page 15: null

13

Since its inception in 1952, NCPAG has worked with different government leaders, agencies, civil society

groups, academic institutions and international organizations to achieve its vision. Many are long-term

relationships that have been nurtured through the years. Along with the College’s growth were the increasing

support of its old partners and the increase of its network linkages in the region and other parts of the world. Over

time, its network has allowed NCPAG to increase its competence and contribute to a larger region.

In 2005 alone, NCPAG built alliances with 27 international institutions and 19 local organizations and

government agencies. The year witnessed training programs, publications, seminars and workshops,

international conferences, and researches commenced in partnership with these foreign associations. There

were also several development and technical assistance projects, research, training programs and validation

reports conducted by the College for its local linkages. Also, several major partner organizations and institutions

have now found their new home in the College to foster closer coordination with and greater involvement in

NCPAG.

The Major Partners

Under the GOP-UNDP 2005–2009 CPAP the GOP-UNDP Portfolio Management Office (PMO),which is administratively attached to UP-NCPAG as the

Implementing Partner of UNDP in the Fostering Democratic

Governance Portfolio (FDGP), serves as a catalytic agent insustaining capacity development interventions on reform

management involving fora of government and CSO partners

through direct technical support and, likewise, serves as a

technical pool in strengthening capacities of partner

institutions on specific but unified intervention elements of

good governance in the form of 6Bs: baselines, benchmarks,blueprint, best practices, benefits, broad based capacity, and

constituency building.

Through the GOP-UNDP-PMO and UP-NCPAG

partnership, the members of the Association of Schools of

Public Administration in the Philippines (ASPAP),Incorporated are provided with curriculum guidance and

training to enhance public administration education. The

project seeks to strengthen ASPAP by establishing regional

clusters and by providing capacity-building, information,education, awareness-raising initiatives, and extension

services for its member-schools.

The GOP-UNDP-PMO also sought a partnership

with the Center for Policy and Executive Development

(CPED), with the assistance of the Center for Leadership,Citizenship and Democracy (CLCD), to prepare three

publications on implementing a Rights-Based Approach

(RBA). One of these publications is the Sourcebook on

Human Rights that features a compilation of most recent

and substantive published and unpublished literature on

Human Rights and Rights-Based Approach. Another isthe Rights-Based Approach Orientation Training Manual

Towards Mainstreaming Human Rights in the

Development and Governance Processes, which is

designed to guide trainers in imparting knowledge on

RBA and in application of RBA in various aspects of

governance and development. The third publication isthe RBA Systems and Tools Manual for focal units/

persons of pertinent public and private institutions to

guide stakeholders on how to apply the principles of

RBA into their organizations.

Participants discuss and strategize work output during the Annual

Review and Programming Workshop to set the direction for 2006.

NCPAG works with different institutions, such as, the UNDP, NEDAand SWS in its quest for introducing reforms in the system.

The Eastern Regional Organization for

Public Administration (EROPA) was

established in 1960 as an organization of states,

institutions, groups and individuals whose

achievements in the field of governance and public

administration are widely recognized in the general

area of Asia and the Pacific. The organization has

had three Secretary Generals, all of whom were

prominent members of NCPAG: Dean Carlos P.

Ramos, Dean Raul P. De Guzman and Sec. Patricia

A. Sto. Tomas.

In 2005, the organization published an issue of its

official journal, the Asian Review of Public

Administration (ARPA). The ARPA has an editorial

board of representatives of EROPA member statesand individual members. It is prepared and edited

with the assistance of the NCPAG Publications Office.

With Dean Brillantes as Deputy Secretary General,

EROPA works closely with NCPAG in coordinating

and organizing many of its major programs. There arecurrently two full time and five part time members

working for EROPA, who are also members of the

NCPAG staff.

In August 2005, EROPA organized the Workshopon Community (Civil Society) Engagement in PublicFinance at the Sub-national held in Brisbane, Australia.It brought together EROPA members to discuss howcommunities and the civil society can get involved in

the discourse of local governance, public financeand service delivery. The workshops discussedentry points for people participation in thesesectors of governance, while case studies fromThailand, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Australia andthe Philippines brought the delegation to fullyrecognize that participatory budgeting and socialauditing are fundamental mechanisms to engagecitizens towards the realization of the MDGs.

NCPAG worked closely with EROPA to

produce the conference papers and news

bulletin for the Vietnam Conference 2005 where

EROPA members were convened to discuss thetheme, The Role of Public Administration and

Governance Stakeholders in Attaining the

Millennium Development Goals.

Another major partner visible in the College

is the Association of Schools of PublicAdministration in the Philippines(ASPAP), Inc., a non-stock, non-profit

national organization of colleges and universities

in the Philippines offering public administration/

management education programs. ASPAP was

organized on 12 February 1979 and registered

with the Securities and Exchange Commission

on 5 December 1980. The College serves as the

Secretariat of the Association with Dean

Brillantes as its Secretary-General.

The GOP-UNDP recognizes the UP NCPAG and

ASPAP as key actors in implementing the FDGP. The

5-year project entitled, Enhancing the Capacities of

Schools of Public Administration in the Philippines, has

several accomplishments in 2005 that significantly

advanced its long-term goals.

During the third quarter, the partnership conducted

a curriculum review and enhancement of ASPAP

schools that set core competencies of the teaching of

the program, including the teaching of Governance and

Development that focused on the MDGs and recent

trends of governance.

ASPAP also held several conferences and fora as

well as hosted one DGF on the localization and

implementation of the RBAs and MDGs to local

governance. The partnership was also able to

develop tools and infrastructure to establish regional

chapter/cluster for ASPAP and develop a guidebook

on how PA schools can extend technical and extension

assistance to strengthen its members’ capacity to be

greatly involved in local development. The development

and update of the ASPAP and NCPAG website also

created stronger linkages and increase visibility among

the ASPAP members, local government units (LGUs) and

national government agencies (NGAs).

Started in March 1998, the Philippine Nonprofit

Sector Project (PNSP) is a project of the System

Office of the Ugnayan ng Pahinungod in partnership with

the Johns Hopkins University and is funded by the Ford

Foundation through the management of the UP

Foundation.

The PNSP is housed at NCPAG and is directed and

led by Dr. Ledivina V. Cariño, a faculty member of the

College. The Project has a Board of Advisers with

members who have been veterans and major

contributors of the civil society sector in the country. It is

run by a team of voluntary research consultants, many of

whom are faculty members of NCPAG, a small full-time

staff, and survey contractors.

Prof. Leonor Magtolis-Briones, a senior faculty member

of the College, was chosen by the President of the United

Nations General Assembly to represent civil society at

the 2005 Millennium Plus Five (M+5) Summit from 14 to16

September 2005 which served as the High-Level Plenary

Meeting of the 60th session of the UN General Assembly.

The Professor’s speech was delivered during the

Financing for Development Meeting of the Summit.

Professor Briones’ message in the 2005 M+5 Summit

was, “The Millennium Development Goals will not be

reached by 2015.” Professor Briones articulated the

views of civil society regarding financing the Millennium

Development Goals (MDGs), covering domestic

resources, foreign investment, ODA, trade and debt.

According to Professor Briones, after five years of

adopting the MDGs, civil society organizations have

found that the Millennium Declaration has not been able

to deliver its promises and “the financial resources

identified under the Monterrey Consensus have not all

been generated.”

Aside from her accomplishments in the academe

and as a former Treasurer of the Republic of the

Philippines, Prof. Briones has been deeply involved

in civil society given her current status as co-convenor

of Social Watch Philippines and as a member of the

International Coordinating Committee of Social Watch.

The world-wide network monitors the implementation

of government commitments to social development,

particularly the Copenhagen Summit and the MDGs.

Professor Briones has also been an advocate for

adequate financing for the MDGs in many parts of the

world.

She was also a member of the Philippine

delegation to the preparatory meetings, as well as the

Summit on Financing Development held in Monterey,

Mexico, in 2002. Since then, she has participated in

assessments on the implementation of the MDGs in

roundtable discussions and conferences at the United

Nations in New York.

She called on the heads of states and

leaders of governments to take action on the

agreements on financing the efforts to reach the

MDGs by 2015; thus, she ended her speech

with:

“Promises, promises. This (UN)

General Assembly is not the time for

more promises. It is time to fulfill old

and new promises. The poor of the

world cannot wait until 2015.

Fulfill your promises!”

The Faculty

The faculty is an invaluable resource in NCPAGsince its members are the key implementers of the

College’s programs and have always stood at the

forefront of working with our partners.

There are 26 full-time faculty members in NCPAG with

six of them holding concurrent administrative and

teaching positions. For the academic year 2005-2006, two

faculty members were on special detail --Dr. Ma.Concepcion P. Alfiler as Vice President for Finance and

Administration of the U.P. System and Dr. Victoria A.

Bautista as Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs of the

U.P. Open University. Prof. Emilia T. Boncodin, who was

on secondment to the Department of Budget andManagement, returned to NCPAG in October 2005 as a

regular faculty member.

By the end of 2005, individual members of the faculty

have completed 26 research and publications projects

with 14 more ongoing, mostly financed by external

funding institutions. Under the allocation of the U.P.

Central Administration to NCPAG, P72,250 wasallocated for the Faculty Development Fund and

P70,370 for the Research Dissemination Grant. These

funds were used to send Prof. Noriel Christopher Tiglao

to the International Conference on Computers in Urban

Planning and Urban Management in the University

College London, England and Prof. Edna Estifania Co tothe conference on Redesigning the State? Political

Corruption in Development Policy and Practice at the

University of Manchester, Manchester, United Kingdom

to deliver their papers.

Lecturers, with a rich background in the academe,

government and civil society, were invited to teach

different courses in the College to foster a richer

academic environment for its students. For the

academic year 2005-2006, there were 13 lecturers

during the first semester and 12 on the second. In the

course of the academic year, several resource

persons from the government and the civil society were

invited to deliver special lectures to BAPA or MPA

classes. These special lectures covered a wide range

of topics from reforms needed in the human resource

development in the bureaucracy to discussions on the

electoral system.

The Students

For the Academic Year 2005-2006, there were 712

enrollees in the first semester and 678 during the

second semester in NCPAG.

Enrolment figures in the first semester for the BAPA

program showed that there were 312 old students, 58

new students who passed the UPCAT, 11 entering with

VAAS status, and 92 shiftees and transferees for a total

of 473 BAPA student enrollees for the academic year.

The increase of the total enrolment for this year is

largely attributed to the number of DPA students who

have re-enrolled to work on their dissertations. This

shift is a result of a more proactive and aggressive

move by C-PAGE to follow up on its doctoral program

candidates to fully comply with course requirements.

The synergy among the College and University officials is integral in

consolidating both the College’s and University’s goals. Shown here is UP

Diliman Chancellor Sergio Cao during an orientation with the NCPAG

Executive Committee, faculty members, and student representatives.

T he C-PAGE, through the leadership of Prof. Mila A. Reforma as College Secretary and Director of Studies, implements NCPAG’s mission to be the center for excellence in education for public administration and governance.

It has three major academic programs. The Bachelor of Arts in Public Administration (BAPA) is a four-year coursethat provides sound theoretical knowledge and practical skills in public administration using the core values ofaccountability, service and integrity designed to prepare students for careers in government or in civil societyorganizations. The Master of Public Administration (MPA) program gives the basic groundwork of the different theories,concepts, perspectives, models and approaches in public management to equip them for higher and more complexresponsibilities in public service. The student can pursue any of the four options under the program. For highly qualifiedstudents, the Doctor of Public Administration (DPA) is a program designed for teaching, research and consultancy, as well

as for managerial positions in government and public service-oriented institutions.

Center for Leadership, Citizenshipand Democracy (CLCD)

PAMANA: The U.P. Anthology of Socio-

Political Thought Since 1872 is a multi-disciplinary

research project consisting of 21 volumes that contain

the ideas and opinions of Filipinos concerning the

nation, society, polity, economy, culture and national

development. The project was initiated in 1993 with the

complete editorial book plan in 1998, and is published

by the University of the Philippines Press which has

produced five books to date. In 2005, CLCD finished

two additional volumes—The Book on the War and the

Japanese Occupation and the Book on Economic

Development—which will be released in 2006.

The Public Lecture Series on the Philippine

Presidency and Administration started in 1992, at the

end of the Aquino administration. The first volume was a self-

assessment by the administration on its performance and

achievements through its leadership and stewardship of the

government after the 1986 Revolution, and its legacy to the

nation and succeeding administrations. In 2005, the CLCD

published Ramos Administration Alternative Assessment,

Vol. 2 as the working paper of the Public Lecture Series on

the Philippine Presidency and Administration, focusing on the

presidency and administration of President Fidel V. Ramos

and his cabinet members. This book includes reactions of

other stakeholders on the performances of the different

departments under the Ramos Administration.

The 8th DGF is one of the well-attended DGFs that featured notable personalities involved in the fight against corruption such as Archbishop

Oscar V. Cruz of the Catholic Bishop’s Conference of the Philippines (CBCP), one of the leading advocates of the fight against corruption.

“Do you know what jueteng is?

Jueteng and corruption are

synonymous…. And you know,

this corruption is paid for

by the poor.”

he CLCD undertakes research, training, and consultancy on the issues, problems, and processes of

leadership and citizenship with Dr. Olivia Z. Domingo as the center director. Its efforts are guided by the

vision of a society striving to be peaceful, democratic, just, and humane. It grants leadership and research

fellowships, organizes public lectures, and publishes books resulting from the lectures and other studies. Its

programs are undertaken along the key areas of leadership; citizenship; civil society; and, Filipino democracy

and its institutions.

As a tribute to the great men of this country, CLCD

launched the Book of Memoirs series to ascribe

relevance and timelessness of their works featuring not

only men in politics but those who exemplified true

leadership in their own social sphere. Starting in 2005, the

CLCD started to document the life of Dean Alfredo Juinio,

who was the Dean of the Department of Civil Engineering,

College of Engineering, University of the Philippines

Diliman from 1970 to 1979.

The CLCD is the lead convenor of the

comprehensive Electoral System Assessment

Study under the UNDP programme on FDGP, which

started in September 2005. The Center also heads the

National and Local Leadership component of the

Organizational Study of the COMELEC and its deputies.

Under this programme, the CLCD is also undertaking the

COMELEC Seminar-Workshop on Strategic Planning,

which aims to assist COMELEC in formulating its

three-year Strategic Plan and Action Plans to be

implemented by its offices at various levels.

Through the Seminar on Political

Leadership at the Local Government Level, CLCD

presented the results of the study of Dr. Perla

Legaspi on Profiles of Political Leadership at the

Local Government Level. The CLCD Research

Report Series: Profiles of Political Leaders at the

Local Government Level was produced as the

manuscript on the Seminar and is the first CLCD

Research Report Series. The papers presented by

the reactors during a seminar held last 29

Center for Local andRegional Governance (CLRG)

The Local Administration and DevelopmentProgram (LADP), adjudged as an outstandingextension program of UP in 1983, is the longest runningexecutive development program for local officials in thePhilippines. Programs were also recently conductedon: Information Technology, Strategic Planning andManagement, and Local Economic Promotion.

In 2005, CLRG hosted several internationalconferences and seminars on local and regionalleadership. The International Conference onDecentralization focused on Decentralization andUrban Governance. The International Conferenceon Federalism and Multiculturalism (ICFM), a two-day conference, brought together federalism expertsfrom Australia, Belgium, Malaysia, Micronesia, Spain,Switzerland and the Philippines, who presented papersand conducted workshops on the four themes of theconference: Conflict Management, Enhancement ofRegional Economies,Constitution, Rule of Law andHuman Rights and Transition to a Federal System.

The Seminar on Decentralization in EastAsia and the Philippines served as the venue forthe launching of the World Bank’s new book East AsiaDecentralizes featuring papers presented bydecentralization scholars from the Maxwell School ofSyracuse University in New York, USA and the Centerfor Public Policy in Moscow, Russia.

The Center houses the Asian Resource Centerfor Decentralization (ARCD), which serves as aninformation hub for countries in the Asia-Pacific region,Europe and Africa on decentralization and localgovernance experiences that are constantly advancedthrough its network of public and private institutions andindividuals. ARCD was launched during the 2nd

International Conference for Decentralization in 2002 andestablished though the assistance of UNDP, AsiaPARAGON Regional Governance Programme, and theOffice of Senator Aquilino Pimentel, Jr.

27he CLRG has been at the forefront of research, consulting services and facilitated learning on local

autonomy and decentralization in the country since 1965. Emerging from the Local Government Center (LGC)

created through Republic Act 4223, CLRG has expanded its scope to include regional governance and urban

and metropolitan management. Under the current leadership of Prof. Simeon A. Ilago, it collaborates with localand international institutions in promoting decentralization and publishing materials for the benefit of local

government and regional units. CLRG also undertakes research and extension activities on management

training; environmental management; population development and management; area-based planning; local

legislation; and barangay administration and development.

CLRG continuously works with regional leadersthrough different training sessions and workshops.Dubbed as the next step in poverty reduction in thedifferent regions, the Capacity Building for LocalPoverty Reduction Action Team (LPRAT) in theAutonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM)aimed to build up local government capacity and washeld in partnership with the British Council Manila and theLocal Government Academy in coordination with theARMM. The Workshop on Breaking a CommonGround for Visayas Development, on the other hand,was set to develop and advance a unified andcomprehensive Visayas Islands DevelopmentFramework. Sponsored by the Population ServicesPilipinas Inc. the Workshop on Gender andDevelopment (GAD) was held to prepare GADAgenda/Plans for Mandaue City, Cagayan de Oro Cityand Iligan City in 2005. With the favorable outcome ofthese workshops, the Workshop on Good Governanceand Youth Leadership for Sangguniang KabataanLeaders was held.

Increased local participation to

Center for Policy andExecutive Development (CPED)

Since 2004, the Center has conducted three

batches of a weekly classroom lecture that forms the

Academic Component of the Congressional

Internship Program for Young Muslim Leaders

being funded by the USAID-GEM. The weekly six-

hour lecture, workshops, group presentations, and

discussions cover courses on Public Policy

Development, Analysis and Advocacy module, and

on Policy Research in Support of Program and

Project Development and Management. The

participants are students from ARMM and other

provinces of Mindanao.

In 2004, CPED was awarded a one-year contract

by the DSWD to serve as the External NGO

Monitor of KALAHI-CIDSS: KKB Project. The

purpose of the External NGO Monitoring is to provide

an independent source of qualitative information on

KALAHI-CIDSS implementation from a selected

number of project locations to complement the

information on inputs and outputs collected through the

Project’s management information system. CPED,

through the appointed NGO monitors, was able to

cover all the barangays in eleven recipient

municipalities from eight provinces using a common

set of instruments. It delivered monthly and quarterly

monitoring reports integrating all the findings to the

KALAHI-CIDSS: KKB National Project Director. The

contract was funded by the World Bank and was

completed in June 2005.

Another major project in 2005 is the UNDP

Project for Rights-Based Approach (RBA) to

Development wherein CPED has been

commissioned to produce three major publications.

One of these is the Sourcebook on Human Rights

on the most recent and substantive published and

unpublished literature on Human Rights and Rights-

Based Approach. The Rights-Based Approach

Orientation Training Manual Towards

Mainstreaming Human Rights in the

Development and Governance Processes and

RBA Systems and Tools Manual are

publications on implementing the RBA in the planning

framework of the local governments, executive

government agencies, and private entities. These

publications will be distributed to all stakeholders in

the implementation of the project nationwide.

Congressional Internship participants undergo several workshop and

training sessions on policy development tools and techniques.

CPED, through Dr. Joel V. Mangahas, has also been

engaged by the Asian Development Bank to develop a

Process Map on the Anti-Money Laundering

Regime in the country. The Process Map will essentially

inform key stakeholders about how money laundering

takes place; the regime’s vulnerable areas; the existing

policy measures and institutional arrangements to

address the issues; and the policy and institutional gaps.

Parallel to this, CPED has been engaged by the

USAID through the Management Systems International to

develop and conduct a Training Course for

Compliance Officers of covered institutions in Anti-

Money Laundering with focus on private banks. The

training program’s main objective is to develop a

sustainable course which will continue to be offered on a

for-profit basis. The project is a collaborative effort of

various institutions namely: UP NCPAG, UP College of

Law, and UP College of Business Administration; Anti-

Money Laundering Council (AMLAC) Secretariat; and, the

Association of Bank Compliance Officers of the

Philippines (ABCOMP).

CPED is also conducting the Executive Profiling

Project to generate a database that provides a general

profile of senior executives in key government agencies

from 1986 to the present in terms of their educational,

professional, and social backgrounds. The Project is

funded by the Japanese Government through Kobe

University.

Formerly the Center for Policy and Administrative Development (CPAD), CPED provides research, training, and

extension or consultancy services to national government agencies, public enterprises, other local institutions

and international organizations on policy research and analysis on issues of current interest by public officials or

institutions; organization and management studies; bureaucracy-watch; program and project evaluation; and,

executive management and development. CPED was created by the College as its response to the challenges

posed by national events and developments in the areas of public policy, executive development, development

administration and program/project management. The CPED is currently led by Dr. Joel V. Mangahas.

As external monitors of the KALAHI-CIDSS Project, CPED staff

regularly go on the field to interview local stakeholders for the

project reports.

Financial Profile

Components of External Funding for the College

placed in the UPPAF, CY 2005 (in Php)

NCPAG receives revenues from both Internal

Operating Budget from the U.P. Central

Administration allotment and the funds facilitated by

the U.P. Public Administration Research and

Extension Services Foundation, Inc. (UPPAF).

For the calendar year 2005, NCPAG and its

Centers had a total Internal Operating Budget of

P34,735,000, divided into Personal Services, MOOE

and Capital Outlay.

The UPPAF was established during the term of

Dr. Raul P. de Guzman as Dean in 1981 and has been

an alternative source of funding. The Foundation also

assists the College in its financial endeavors through

resources generated from its research and extension

projects by its faculty members or its Centers.

The sources of NCPAG’s revenues for CY 2005.

In 2005, the Foundation collected a total of

P15,815,094.85 from the projects and programs that

went under it. NCPAG receives its external funding

from different local and foreign institutional partners.

Most of these revenues are project-based and the

resources are directly spent for projects. The rest of

the expenses in 2005 covered renovations, repairs,

staff extensions and the procurement of additional

research services for the College. The UNDP-GOP-

PMO contributed a total of P5,064,501.50 into the

UPPAF for its projects that the College directly

implemented under the Program.

Aside from these two main fund sources, the

different NCPAG Centers, under special

arrangements, receive direct funding from partner

institutions. CLRG undertook several projects

amounting to P 25,031, 859.55 in 2005, which were

managed by the Center and not accounted in the

UPPAF account, like the Capacity Building for Local

Poverty Reduction Action Team (LPRAT) in ARMM,

the International Conference on Federalism and

Multiculturalism and the Project on Improving

Delivery of Extension Services in the Philippines

conducted by the CLRG.
