Civil Society in the Philippines:Struggling for Sustainability
Learning to live and work together is a huge challenge in the
new millennium which civil society organization in the Philippines have been struggling to grapple with their own context.There are just so many issues to handle before government,corporations,civil society organization and plain citizen can work together to put things right.Most basic,they must first recognize that keep them apart even as they build on those things that bind them in common. The Philippines offers a rich contextual backdrop for considering important regional and global issues related to civil society and development.Emerging trends in Asia and the Pacific,to say nothing about trends worldwide,may be read from what changes are happening in the Philippine economy,society and politics.The use of civil society has been a subject of criticism in some circles,academics and leftfish in particular.Academic critic points precisely to the lack of theoritical rigor.Goal of sustainable development will be attained by circumscribing the countrys development framework,politics and program within the serving as guideposts. According to Serano(Serrano,2003:1-2),the term Civil Society entered Philippines development language in the early 1990s,after the political uphearal in Eastern Europe in the late 1980s.The terms was initially equated with Non-Governmental Oraganizations,a specific type of organization within the civil society sector.However,after several years,the terms was used to encompass a wider set of organization and institution wich do not belong to the stole or the bussiness sector. In the recent months,there has been a flury of activity of civil society organization as the campaign for shapping the global post 2015 Development framework goes into last year.The UN General Assembly is expected to approve in September 2015 the successor to the Millennium Development Goals as the 15 year timetable for these goals comes to a close.Last September 34,2014,the national Civil Society Organization conference,of sustainable development 2015 was held at the institute of social order,Ateneo de Manila University,Quezon City.The national conference was the culmination of three regional workshops of Civil Society Organization held in the cities of davao,Cebu,and Quezon,in July to August 2014.At these workshops and the conference,the civil society organization reviewed and discussed the purpose of the Sustainable Development Goals as prepared by the open working group of the UN General Assembly. In conclusion,to sustain amuch brighter Philippines we must have a very concrete solution to every problem,as a Filipino we must maintain Civil Society with ease and proximity,as a student we should have a part in creating and improving our country in many aspects:
Cooperation alone can widstand,bulges of waves,forming
improvement in the modern nation.
The disadvantages of Federalism in the Pilippines Government
Federalism are defining as the allocation of power between to
the national government.There are those to conduct that a system of government in which the power into divided between a central authority and constituent political unit:Federalism in the Philippines to brought by government are fouted as a possible means to resolve provincial disparties in the Philippines to brought by Separtists movements,sice the structure allow for national and regional units of government to have distanct and overlapping juris dictions.And they also can advisable for a Philippines to community of countries like us to adopt thes kind of government.
The Philippines government those to provided of defining
administration we should take federal kind of government.The Philippines would take a perion of no less than loyers to the successful transition Federalism.Disadvantages of federal government are ensure to those people can remainly a close of that state government argue.They reccurent more uprising by giving them a federal state of their own.And we also can inequality between to states and over-government that will result to corruption.Then we have to coted both faces of federal government in order to inform of federal government to the Philippines county.
On my point of view,they also to can making our expensive.We
do not need have a change of government all us need is to strengthen the centralized government.We have no enough finds because we are still paying out debts. They can make to needs of people that have a power equal to the Federalism to situation complicated,if we change our proven government into federal in Philippines so that we takes always to provide the Federalism Philippines Government.
