NPM in the Philippines

The sporadic but loadingive New universal Management practices in the Philippines as presented by the author may be good catalysts for NPM proliferation and actual practice, but as presented by Vina and Aceron in structure the Basics, the small sources of hope often die a born(p) death due to partisan politics, corruption and in my own opinion, in some areas, violence.The idea of managing the government like a business and treating citizens non as constituents but customers/clients, public administration is therefore mutating from a benefactor which people tend to thank for the work to as a service provider that the clients can claim their rightful service. The appointment of Secretary Robredo to the division of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) is an effort of the Aquino Administration to have a successful grassroots-level performer and a paragon of good governance to lay out change in the national level.I believe that the idea is for a veteran and proven NPM practit ioner who understands the local scene can effect change. This strategy has been marred with recent unsavory criticisms of how he handled the DILG, e. g. the Quirino Grandstand Massacre. On Robredo, I believe a DILG Secretary should have a very(prenominal) strong grasp on a wide array of sectors, still, he has to focus on the sector that he is most effective, local administration.His failing on the other sectors should be complemented by undersecretaries and assistant secretaries to present a competent multi-sectoral leadership. On the privatization efforts of Weihl, if the Philippines depart continue to further privatize services, a very thorough study should be made to assure that these companies which will be placed in monopolizing positions, would not be able to insult that position and further place the Filipino further down the pauperisation line, e. . Oil Deregulation and Energy Sector Privatization. Though majority of the bureaucracy and the private sector have lost hop e in the good retrieval program of the government, I have not. A moral recovery program should go hand-in-hand with the headhunt for corrupt officials to expedite the change process in Philippine public administration. As the saying goes, if we want something weve never had before, we should be willing to do something weve never done before.
