Army launches 'Project A-TRIP for Gold 2014'

From the Philippine News Agency (Jun 12): Army launches 'Project A-TRIP for Gold 2014'

The Philippine Army (PA) will launch the Project "A-TRIP for Gold 2014" on Friday.

It will be held at the Philippine Army Officers' Club House, Fort Andres Bonifacio, with Armed Forces of the Philippines' chief-of-staff Gen. Emmanuel T. Bautista, as the guest of honor and speaker.

The project was conceptualized by the Army Governance and Strategic Management Office (AGSMO) of the PA to serve as an umbrella project that will facilitate the accomplishment of the Army’s hallmarks in preparation for its bid to institutionalize the Performance Governance System (PGS) in the whole organization, and to achieve the Gold Governance Trailblazer Seal.

The PA adopted the PGS principle in developing the Army Transformation Roadmap (ATR) which aims to transform the Army into a more capable, responsive, reliable, and professional organization committed to its mandate.

Three years after its implementation in 2010, the PA earned the PGS Proficient Status and Silver Governance Trailblazer Seal during the Public Governance Forum last March 2013.

By September 2014, the Philippine Army is expected to earn the Institutionalized Status in the PGS Pathway and receive the Gold Governance Trailblazer Seal.

This development indicates that the Philippine Army is on the right track in realizing the ATR goals and vision.

Meanwhile, the day-long activity carries the theme "Good Governance: It's the Army Way of Life".

Various units and offices of the Philippine Army will be awarded the Army Governance Pathway (AGP) Plaques of Recognition for garnering the highest points in the implementation of the ATR.

Among the units and offices of the Philippine Army who will receive the AGP Plaques of Recognition are the Office of the Assistant Chief of Staff for Plans and Programs, OG5; Office of the Assistant Chief of Staff for Civil Military Operations, OG7; Office of the Army Internal Auditor; 3rd Infantry Division; 9th Infantry Division; 801st Infantry Brigade; 901st Infantry Brigade; 902nd Infantry Brigade; and 903rd Infantry Brigade.

Exhibit booths of the different AGP awardees will be set up to showcase their office and unit’s governance and strategy management best practices and other vital information materials leading to their successful feat.

The launching of the Army Governance and Strategy Management Handbook and the demonstration of the Performance Scorecard Management Information System will also be held during the said event.

The Philippine Army Multi-Sectoral Advisory Board (PA MSAB) Regular Meeting headed by Dr. Jesus P. Estanislao will also coincide with the day-long activity.
