NPM in the Philippines

The sporadic but accomplishmentive New Public Management practices in the Philippines as presented by the author may be good catalysts for NPM proliferation and veritable practice, but as presented by Vina and Aceron in Building the Basics, the small sources of commit often die a natural death due to disciple politics, corruption and in my own opinion, in some areas, violence.The idea of managing the government like a business and treating citizens not as constituents but customers/clients, public disposition is therefore mutating from a benefactor which people tend to thank for the service to as a service provider that the clients can claim their rightful service. The battle of Secretary Robredo to the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) is an effort of the Aquino Administration to have a successful grassroots-level performer and a paragon of good brass instrument to effect change in the national level.I believe that the idea is for a veteran and proven NPM practitioner who understands the local scene can effect change. This strategy has been marred with recent unsavory criticisms of how he handled the DILG, e. g. the Quirino Grandstand Massacre. On Robredo, I believe a DILG Secretary should have a very inviolate grasp on a wide array of sectors, still, he has to focus on the sector that he is most effective, local administration.His weakness on the different sectors should be complemented by undersecretaries and assistant secretaries to present a competent multi-sectoral leadership. On the privatization efforts of Weihl, if the Philippines will continue to further privatize services, a very thorough guinea pig should be made to assure that these companies which will be placed in monopolizing positions, would not be able to abuse that position and further place the Philippine further down the poverty line, e. . Oil Deregulation and Energy Sector Privatization. Though majority of the bureaucracy and the private sector have lost hop e in the moral recovery program of the government, I have not. A moral recovery program should go hand-in-hand with the headhunt for corrupt officials to expedite the change bear on in Philippine public administration. As the saying goes, if we want something weve never had before, we should be willing to do something weve never done before.
