In parts of Europe, people have also flocked to the streets to demand decisive action from their governments to deal more fairly with the problems arising from slower economic growth and crushing public sector debt

Unrest continues to spread across Europe... from Greece to Spain to London, and now in Italy, anger is boiling over and people aren't afraid to show it

PA 102

Even here in America, grassroots movements have formed to call their leaders’ attention to the growing disparity between the wealthy and the middle class.

People are fed up with politicians paying off Debt with MORE debt

PA 102

In North Africa, people took to the streets in droves, risking their very lives, to call for the removal of leaders who could no longer respond to their needs and aspirations

From Tunisia to Egypt, Algeria to Morocco, the civil unrest has brought to the world attention that not only the majority are denied their rights in these Arab dominated nations, but also the rights of the indigenous people who are hardly represented in the governments.

one thing is clear: people all over the world today share an increasing desire to speak, to be heard, and to be part of the molding of their respective futures. The specifics vary from region to region, but the broad demands are similar: a more equitable society and a government that strives toward it.

PA 102

“People Power.” And each time I see it manifest in any part of the world— concerned individuals assembling and voicing out their respective convictions, I am filled with optimism about our capacity as human beings united under a single cause, armed not with rifles but with a collective desire for better governance

PA 102

the term “governance” has been used to refer mostly to “government,” when correctly used, “governance” really goes beyond government. It involves the institutionalizationof a system through which citizens, institutions, organizations, and groups in a society articulate their interests, exercise their rights, and mediate their differences in pursuit of the collective good. (ADB 1995 as cited in ADB 2005: 1)

Good Governance means, there is good Economics Percolate

Socioeconomic development to a greater majority

The strengthening of institutions levels the playing field and provides for an environment conducive to economic growth.

begins with cleaning up government: instituting a culture of transparency and accountability—at the bottom line, a culture of trust in government.

Any gains that will be reaped from this growth are then channeled into vital social services such as those in education, health, and, more importantly, poverty alleviation.

PA 102

Good governance is at the center of my administration’s socioeconomic strategy, and the people are at the center of good governance. Their vigilance, their constant and adamant participation in public discourse, the strength they lend my administration as we dismantle the many obstacles put up by the enemies of reform—these, ultimately, are what fuels us on the straight and righteous path toward equitable progress

PA 102

Opening up government to the people; making government a truly democratic space, allowing citizens access to its processes, and in fact encouraging them to participate in these processes: to take a stand, to contribute to a consensus, and to accept this consensus as the product of their own collective will.

to expand and improve a conditional cash transfer program that will provide stipends to less fortunate families, provided—and these are the conditions—they keep their children in school and visit their health centers regularly This is a program that was once used for political patronage, and we have taken it and given it an overhaul, such that it empowers not politicians, but the bosses they are supposed to serve—the Filipinos.

A zero-based budgeting process that evaluates the effectiveness of government programs. Those that have not delivered the desired results have been eliminated and those that have been effective have seen an increase in their funding.

Zero-based budgeting has also reduced discretionary spending items that have created opportunities for corruption
