Abstract

This article investigates the role of civil society organizations (CSOs) in the decision-making process in a district in the southern Philippines. The study used a descriptive analysis to assess CSO involvement in policy formulation, local development planning, program implementation, and monitoring and evaluation. The findings reveal that while there is limited engagement of CSOs in policy formulation, they make significant contributions to development planning, ensuring consensus-based decision-making that caters to diverse community sectors. CSOs also actively participate in program implementation and monitoring progress. However, the study admits some limitations, including a small sample size and potential redundancy of information due to statement correlation. Nonetheless, the study emphasizes the potential of CSOs to enrich the decision-making process within districts. To enhance CSO involvement, district officials should forge stronger partnerships with NGOs and private sectors, and CSOs should innovate solutions for emerging challenges. Future research should address identified limitations and involve district officials to gain a comprehensive understanding of decision-making processes.

Abstract

This study examines how the selected barangay local government units (BLGUs) in the Southern Philippines are implementing meaningful child participation in governance. It focuses on three key aspects: informing children of their rights, actively hearing their perspectives, and involving them in decision-making. The study found a diverse group of respondents, with a majority from Gen Z and Millennials. Many are college graduates and actively involved in organizations, showcasing their potential as future leaders. A significant effort is put into ensuring children are well-informed about their rights under the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). This highlights a commitment to both inclusivity and upholding children's rights. The research also found a positive perception towards "hearing" children's voices. This suggests a cultural shift towards participatory governance, where children's perspectives are valued in decision-making. This empowers them, communicates the importance of their opinions, and leads to policies that better reflect their needs. The study concludes that meaningful child participation is not only achievable but essential for sustainable development and good governance. It's an investment in the future, fostering a generation of informed, engaged, and responsible citizens. These findings offer valuable insights for local governments in Southern Philippines and contribute to the global discussion on empowering children as active contributors to society. Secure spaces for participation and formal structures within schools, communities, or local government, like the Sangguniang Kabataan (SK), can further empower children to effectively engage in governance.

Abstract

Performance management is a critical component of effective human resource management, particularly in the public sector, where accountability and service excellence are paramount. The Philippine government has taken a major step to improve performance management procedures in the public sector with the Program to Institutionalize Meritocracy and Excellence in Human Resource Management (PRIME-HRM). Using a qualitative case study methodology, the study focuses on important provincial stakeholders, such as the heads of Agencies, the Provincial Human Resource Management Office (PHRMO), and Rank and File Employees. According to the results, the Province of Bukidnon has made great progress in adhering to the PRIME-HRM performance management regulations and guidelines established by the Civil Service Commission (CSC). Key elements of the program, including goal-setting, performance evaluation, feedback, and performance improvement planning, have been implemented successfully, improving employee performance and work satisfaction. The report also emphasizes how PRIME-HRM performance management has improved decision-making on career advancement, incentives, and promotions. The province has demonstrated its commitment to SHRM priorities by integrating performance management approaches with organizational goals. The importance of these findings for the Province of Bukidnon and other public sector organizations looking to improve their performance management procedures is emphasized in the study's conclusion. The results offer insightful information about the effective execution of PRIME-HRM and a road map for coordinating performance management with strategic objectives and cultivating an excellence culture in the public sector.

Abstract

This study analyzes the participation, purposes, and challenges of civil society organizations (CSOs) in local decision-making in Tangub City. Using a mixed-method approach, five representatives were purposively selected from fourteen accredited CSOs based on active involvement and organizational performance. Purposeful sampling enables the selection of information-rich cases and aligns with evidence that data saturation is often achieved with a limited number of interviews. The findings show that CSOs consistently engage in program implementation and consultations, frequently participate in development planning, and occasionally contribute to monitoring and evaluation. Their main objectives are to promote public participation and provide essential community services. However, CSOs face constraints including limited financial capacity, weak legislative support, low institutional awareness, and the absence of a coordinating focal person. Strengthening capacity-building programs, improving documentation practices, and enhancing collaboration with stakeholders are recommended to improve the effectiveness of CSO participation in local governance.
