Governance, Basic Ethics Management and Internal Control

Overview on Philippine Government Reflection Paper People. A word that holds a great power in a democratic country. A word that should be treated and served with outmost dedication from its government. A word that should be perceived as precious like a diamond. But sadly, reality doesn’t fits in with that narrative. Instead, it’s a total opposite. The table is turned upside down and it greatly affects its main recipients of public service – People. During our first formal session, we discussed on the overview of Philippine Government and I was refreshed of our government’s branches and its corresponding responsibilities. The different branches of the government is composed of the Legislative Branch, Executive Branch and Judicial Branch. These aforementioned branches plays a vital role in the operations and development of our country. First, the legislative branch is in charge to make, alter and repeal laws for the benefit of the public. This branch is composed of senators and representatives from the various districts.

But on the brighter side, I’ve seen hope and a little light that may light up others in the darkness with all those outstanding exemplar in the service of Filipino people. They are catalyst of change and I’ve known them before due to their excellent service despite this difficult times as they deliver efficient services for the betterment of its localities. But somehow, this made me realized and asked myself, asking if I’ve did my part? With all these corruption and manipulation of the public, the thing is that, we people didn’t really maximized our power to the fullest. This goes back to us and a clear reflection as we people didn’t really take seriously the importance of voting the right servant on the position. In general, everything has its corresponding effect but what matters most is how we adjust, deal with the situation and doing our best to be a responsible citizen in this democratic country....
