In line with its transparency efforts, the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) has said it will be launching its own governance monitoring mechanism on Thursday in line with its 15-year transformation program.
Lt. Col. Ramon Zagala, AFP public affairs office chief, said that the Multi-Sector Governance Council (MSGC) will be composed of representatives from various sectors of society.
The establishment of the MSGC highlights the AFP’s thrust in pursuing genuine reforms in the military, particularly in promoting good governance, while actively involving and engaging other government agencies and the civil sector, he added.
Zagala said that the MSGC members include Dr. Jesus Estanislao, chairman of the Institute for Solidarity in Asia; former Ambassador Lauro Baja; Assistant Secretary Jennifer Oreta for Policy of the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process; Dr. Alfredo Pascual, president, University of the Philippines; Ambassador Cesar Bautista, co-chairman, National Competitiveness Council; and Father Jose M. Cruz, Dean, Ateneo School of Social Sciences.
Also taking part are Bai Rohaniza Sumndad-Usman, founder, Teach Peace-Build Peace; Prof. Solita Collas-Monsod, professor, University of the Philippines; Rep. Mel Sarmiento, 1st District-Western Samar; Dr Jose Ramon Albert, president, Philippine Statistical Association; Atty. Avelino Cruz, former Secretary of National Defense; and Gina Lopez, managing director, ABS-CBN Foundation.
The MSGC is in line with the AFP Transformation Roadmap (AFPTR), a 15-year strategy geared towards capability development and professionalization.
To implement the AFPTR, the AFP adopted the Performance Governance System, a local adaptation of Kaplan & Norton’s Balanced Scorecard.
