Conference with the
theme “Public Administration
and Governance in the Context
of Regional and Global
Integration” was held in Hanoi,
Vietnam as host country from
October 20-24, 2014.
Minister Nguyen Thai Binh of
the Ministry of Home Affairs
gave a welcome speech,
revisiting the raison d’etre for
EROPA’s existence, which is
inevitably tied to its objectives:
The promotion of best practices
in public administration; the
increase of awareness on the
importance of e ffect ive
administration; the conduct of
research; and capacity-building
of government personnel.
Further, he acknowledged the
trend towards integration in
p u b l i c go ve r n a n c e a n d
management within the region
vis-à-vis key policies, functions,
and goals.
A highlight of the Opening
Ceremony was the keynote
address given by no less than the
Prime Minister of Vietnam, His
Excellency Nguyen Tan Dung.
He conveyed that the Conference
would be a s ignif icant
opportunity for participants to
s h a r e c r u c i a l i n s i g h t s ,
experiences, and practices in
public administration reform
geared towards socio-economic
development. He presented the
following topics for possible
sharing of ideas: 1) civil service
reform; 2) policy formulation
and the strengthening of the
constitution; 3) administrative
procedures; and 4) finance
reform.
The Prime Minister conveyed
that to cope with the challenges
of regional and global
integration, governments
should be strengthened
internally. To do so, good
management in public policy
and in the delivery of public
services is crucial.
The CESB delegation was
headed by Executive Director
Maria Anthonette Velasco-
Allones, CESO I, along with
Board Member Evangeline C.
Cruzado and members of the
CESB Secretariat Atty.
Catherine Socorro O. Estrada,
Yvonne M. Coloma-Dela Cruz,
Luzviminda DR. Arbutante
and Imelda R. Guanzon.
“M achinery and technology make it possible;
p e o p l e m a k e i t h a p p e n . ”
These were the words of Mr. Gerardo A. Plana,
Chief Executive of the Investors in People-
Philippines (IiP Philippines), as he led 22 Human
Resource (HR) managers and Career Executive
Service (CES) coordinators from various govern-
ment agencies in a workshop during the final stretch
of the 2014 HR Managers Fellowship Meeting and
Learning Session Series at the Bulwagan ng Karunu-
gan, Department of Education, Pasig City last Octo-
ber 1. Rightly dubbed as “Creating a People Strat-
egy,” the workshop aimed to provide the technology
for generating a people strategy and plan that links
people management processes and organizational
priorities.
Mr. Plana fired up the workshop by enumerating ten
prime reasons as to why organizations should invest
in people today. These include: link between people
and organizational results; hidden costs of people
issues; growing value of execution; rise of the
knowledge worker; talent war; downward spiral of
performance; growing importance of service; intan-
gibles; employee engagement; and innovation. He
discussed in detail the various costs of mismanaging
people in an organization such as costs of turnover;
absenteeism; tardiness; low employee engagement;
conflicts; resistance to change; low trust; and, low
skills as there is a very high correlation in what you
do with your people to your organizational results.
Having had extensive experience in the field of hu-
man resource management and organization devel-
opment for more than 30 years, Mr. Plana boldly
affirmed that talent will be the resource of scarcity
today and the future. He acknowledged that organi-
zations with better talent will be more successful.
Yet, according to him, “if you cannot get the best
talent, get the best out of the talent that you already
have.”
Mr. Plana urged the HR managers and CES coordi-
nators in attendance to humanize their respective
workplaces by engaging their employees through
leadership; job fulfillment; rewards; purpose; rela-
tionship; opportunity and work-life balance as qual-
ity of working conditions determines their quality of
work and life.
The workshop further delved into the application of
the People Strategy Model of the IiP-
Philippines, which focuses on developing,

Two experts in leadership and governance, Depart-
ment of Science and Technology (DOST-Region
II) Director Urdujah A. Tejada and management
consultant Coach Randy Esguerra graced the event
with their informative yet engaging talks.
In his presentation, Coach Randy introduced the
eight elements of leadership excellence as the fun-
damental principles in understanding strategic
leadership. He enumerated them as follows: Com-
plexity, which describes the ability to manage
large quantities of information and navigate rela-
tionships between them; Paradox, which is the
ability to drive change and simultaneously accept
and work with statements that are contradictory;
Boldness, which involves the confidence to push
beyond accepted conventions and eliminate fear of
criticism; Curiosity, which notes the desire to think
globally and change or improve things.
Also included in the list are Perspective, which
shows the ability to shift one’s perspective on a
situation and identify and secure high-potential
talent; Connection, which demonstrates the ability
to mobilize between things that don’t initially have
an apparent connection; Abstraction, which proves
one’s ability to abstract concepts from ideas and
strategize toward the big picture; and lastly, Persis-
tence, which signifies the ability to force oneself to
keep trying to derive more and stronger solutions.
Speaking based from her extensive and fruitful
years of service to the government, Director Te-
jada presented her own list of leadership qualities.
She remarked, a leader must have good character,
influence, positive attitude, excellent people skills,
proven track record, confidence, effective commu-
CES Strategic Forum... 1
nication skills, and must be discontent with status
quo.
Director Tejada, who was also a Gawad CES
Awardee in 2010, stressed that besides nurturing
these traits within, an effective leader has continu-
ing roles to observe in order for him to be able to
rally his people towards achieving their goals. She
mentioned, leaders must keep track of organiza-
tion’s directions, inspire the best in themselves and
in others, and bring their full being to work.
CESB Executive Director Maria Anthonette
Velasco-Allones, CESO I, capped this year’s fo-
rum finale with a presentation entitled “Leading a
Life of Purpose.” Here, she shared the 10 leader-
ship lessons she did not learn in school but has
mastered throughout her years of service to the
government. The executive director also expressed
her take on the famous quote “The two most im-
portant days in your life are the day you are born
and the day you find out why.”
The executive director pointed out that “today is as
crucial for it affords us the chance to live our life
to the fullest and embark on a journey towards
achieving our purpose in life.”
The CES Strategic Leadership Forum was
launched in February this year in La Union City.
The succeeding sessions were held in different key
cities in the country to reach out to more govern-
ment officials working and residing in the regions.
To date, the CES Strategic Leadership Forum has
gathered a total of 356 CESOs and eligibles na-
tionwide.

N ow, Mother Earth has more reasons
to smile.
The Career Executive Service Board part-
nered with the Department of Environment
and Natural Resources (DENR), the Rotary
Club of Makati-Rockwell and the South
Luzon Tollway Corporation (SLTC) in a
tree planting activity held along the South
Luzon Expressway (SLEX) on October 25,
2014.
Themed “Creating a Greener and Cleaner Environ-
ment,” the activity enjoined employees from the
public and private sectors to plant 3,600 seedlings
of golden shower, Palawan cherry, balitbitan, and
narra trees along SLEX from Km 28.9 to Km. 53.5
southbound.
The program’s keynote speaker, DENR Undersec-
retary Demetrio L. Ignacio Jr., CESO I, gave a
brief message of thanks to the program organizers
whom he considered as the DENR’s BFF (best
friends forever) in caring for the environment.
“More than the number of trees planted today,
what is more important are the seeds of environ-
mental advocacy planted in our hearts,” Usec.
Ignacio remarked.
Meanwhile representing CESB Executive Director
Maria Anthonette Velasco-Allones, OIC-Director
III Bettina Margarita L. Velasquez, extended her
message of support to fellow organizers and par-
ticipants for the success of the tree planting event.
“It is my pleasure to know that since we joined
forces with the DENR, the STLC and the Rotary
Club of Rockwell-Makati in 2011, we have
planted almost 15,000 indigenous trees along
SLEX. Today, we aim to plant 3,600 more seed-
lings, which means we are looking forward to a
greener, cleaner, and cooler SLEX in the near fu-
ture,” Director Velasquez said.
Remembering the sad fate that befell the Western
Visayas region when it was hit by typhoon
Yolanda last year, Director Velasquez expressed
her hope that the trees would soon grow to help
prevent or at least alleviate the impact of natural
calamities in the country.
Also present to extend their support were Dr. Eva
Ocfemia, Regional Director of the Environmental
Management Bureau of the DENR, Mr. Oscar
Picazo, President of the Rotary Club of Makati-
Rockwell, Mr. Tony Reyes from South Luzon
Tollway Corporation and Mr. Lito Coloma, Dis-
trict Governor of Rotary Club.
