AFP Launches Good Governance Watchdog
Camp Aguinaldo, Quezon City—The
Armed Forces of the Philippines will launch its own governance
monitoring mechanism in line with its fifteen-year transformation
program.
In a launching ceremony and inaugural
meeting tomorrow, February 20, the AFP will formally establish its
Multi-Sector Governance Council (MSGC) 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.
Taking part also are Bai Rohaniza
Sumndad-Usman, Founder, Teach Peace-Build Peace; Prof Solita
Collas-Monsod, Professor, University of the Philippines; Hon Mel
Sarmiento, Representative, 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, 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.
