The Catbalogan-based 8th Infantry Division got another
feather in its cap as it was conferred with Compliant Status (2nd Stage) of the
Army Governance Pathway (AGP) last Jan. 30.
Major Amado Gutierrez, 8th Infantry Division spokesperson,
in a statement Sunday said the conferment took place at the Ricarte Hall of the
Philippine Army Officers' Clubhouse in Fort
Bonifacio , Taguig City
A Compliant Status is granted after an organization has
formally organized internal and external stakeholders (also known as
multi-sector advisory board) MSAB) to be part of the governance process, and
consequently passed an audit review. This stage is centered on alignment of resources
and people to the strategy.
Last Nov. 11, 2014, the 8th Infantry Division convened its
MSAB which became its strong partner in attaining the Army Transformation
Roadmap (ATR) by 2028.
Composed of civilian stakeholders from the public, academe,
business, private, health and religious sector, among its important tasks is to
promote continuity, sustainability, and shared responsibility in pursuit of the
8th Infantry Division ATR; ensure adoption and institutionalization of PGS
(performance governance system) as embodied in the ATR; provide assessment of
ATR-related programs, projects, and activities, and recommend relevant policies
critical in achieving breakthrough results; enhance partnerships with key
stakeholders and generate public support for the 8ID ATR; evaluate the
Command’s performance relative to its scorecard and the implementation of
ATR-related programs, projects, and activities; and assist in the generation of
additional resources to support the unit’s programs, projects, and activities.
The PGS is hinged on the Balanced Score Card (BSC)
technology, a performance management tool developed at the Harvard University
Business School
Working under the tenet of true and genuine governance,
these breakthrough results make the agency more sustainable and responsive to
its purpose. Inherent in the design of the system are the strategic
private-public partnership of the organization and the sectors it closely
interacts with, as well as transparent executive leadership. This revolutionary
system institutionalizes a new culture of governance that can produce tangible
results within two to three years.
The Army Governance Forum is a semiannual event that forms
part of the PGS, the good governance program of the National Competitiveness
Council and the Institute for Solidarity in Asia .
The forum features progress reports from Philippine Army Major Units (PAMUs)
and their compliance to the Army’s good governance pathway, which is divided
into four stages, namely: Initiation, Compliance, Proficiency, and
Institutionalization.
This year’s preliminary forum was graced by the presence of
Gen. Gregorio Catapang Jr., the Chief of Staff, Armed Forces of the Philippines , who at the same time conferred the
recognition award to 8ID; Lt. Gen. Hernando DCA Iriberri, the Commanding
General of the Philippine Army; and Dr. Jesus Estanislao, Chairman, Institute of Solidarity
in Asia .
Aside from 8ID, three other Infantry Divisions of the
Philippine Army achieved the compliant status. These are: the 3rd Infantry
Division, the 6th Infantry Division, and the 9th Infantry Division. Other major
commands of the Philippine Army that received the same award were: the
Mechanized Infantry Division and the Training and Doctrine Command. The awards
were received by the respective commanders of the said Army Commands.
