Quotes

...the comments concerning Recommendation 5 (Adequate funds should be made available for international promotion), do get down to brass tacks: "Aggressive overseas promotion remains weak. There is nothing comparable for the Philippines to the slick CNN ads of Indonesia's IPA. The Department of Tourism (DOT) launched its 'More Fun in the Philippines campaign, but its National Tourism Development Plan has not been released over 12 months after final draft. Overseas investment missions focus on Japan, which has a strong presence in manufacturing. Inbound business missions doubled in 2012 to 25 from 12. The PPP Center promoted the LRT-2 South Extension project in Northeast Asia and Europe.....The Administration has engaged a major international public relations firm but with a small budget." The Second Anniversary Assessment has 243 pages of detailed evaluation of the pluses and minuses in such key result areas as agribusiness, infrastructure, logistic, tourism, IT and business process outsourcing, business costs, labor, legislation, etc. Hundreds of thought leaders from the academe, business sector, NGOs, Church officials, public officials from the various levels of government and international agencies were involved in the feedback and evaluation process.This cycle will be repeated year in and year out and will put a very healthy pressure on government officials to deliver on their promises and to be especially careful in avoiding lapses in good governance. Thanks to the Arangkada, the national leaders who will be elected in 2016 will have less leeway to be corrupt and inefficient. For this reason, not only should all men and women of goodwill contribute whatever they can to perfect the Arangkada process through the years. Other groups doing similar works of evaluation, such as the Makati Business Club, Institute for Solidarity Asia, the Global Competitiveness Council, local versions of the Transparency International, the Management Association of the Philippines, etc. should target specific government agencies, such as Customs, for very close monitoring. For comments, my email address is bernardo villegas@uap.asia."
