enhancing the capability of
its bureaucracy. The 1987
Constitution and other

including the Revised 4
Administrative Code of

Philippine bureaucracy. The
Civil Service Commission

The Republic of the
Philippines has made
significant progress in
decentralization and
democratization over the
past decade. Its
devolution legislation and
local government system
are frequently studied by
other Asian countries as a
model for
decentralization.
However, the process has
not been without
challenges. In 1991, when Management System (LGPMS), a
the Local Government
Code was enacted, few
local governments had the
capacity to carry out their
newly mandated
functions. The national

themselves identified the

The United Nations Development
Program said that one of the
reasons why a nation fails in
achieving its millennium
development goals is poor
governance. If governance is such
an important factor in the
development of a country, then it is
important to understand the
factors leading to poor government
performance, measure it, and
improve it. This descriptive study is

At its 295th Session in March 2006, the
Governing Body placed the topic of skills
for improved productivity, employment
growth and development on the agenda
of the 97th Session (2008) of the
International Labor Conference. In
approaching this multifaceted subject,
the present report seeks to apply the
components of effective skills and
employability policies articulated in the
conclusions concerning human
resources training and development
agreed upon at the 88th Session of the
Conference in 2000 (ILO, 2000a) and in
the Human Resources Development
Recommendation, 2004 (No. 195),
adopted at the 92nd Session of the
Conference in 2004. These tripartite
discussions identified policies, programs
and institutions that can help to realize

As the basic political unit, the
1991 Local Government Code
provided the Barangay an
important role to play in the
national efforts of achieving
significant improvement in
the countrys economic,
political, and social
conditions. According to
Section 384 of the Local
Government Code, the
Barangay serves as the
primary planning and
implementing unit of
government policies, plans,
programs, projects, and
activities in the community. It
also serves as a forum
wherein the collective views
of the people may be
expressed, crystallized and
considered, and where
disputes may be amicably
settled (Local Government
Code of 1991).

existing HR competencies and

functions of the local
governments. Training

knowledge improvement are
oriented more towards
strengthening service delivery
rather than towards the
exercise of the enabling

form of internal revenue
allotments (IRA). IRA-
related issues include the
uncertainty associated
with IRA transfers given
the insecure national fiscal
situation and inequities
and distortions in
distribution built into the
IRA formula. Local
government financial
affairs are highly
politicized and revenue
and spending decisions
are frequently taken to
attract or deflect political
attention. Fiscal
management is also often
hampered by the lack of
adequate records or
automated systems.
The conceptual
framework for CD used by
LGSP and LOGIC is an
'open systems' model that
encompasses but is
broader than HRD and OD.
It considers CD as a
complex process at
various 'levels' within a
system, for example at the
local or micro level; at the
provincial and regional or
meso level; and at the
sector, system, and
national or macro level. It
also considers the

the impact of the LGPMS in the
lives of San Rafaeleos?
The framework looks into the state
of local governance which is
measured using governance
indicators, either input or output,
and the state of local development
which is measured using
development or outcome
indicators. This is to emphasize that
governance indicators are based on
the LGUs key responsibilities or on
those areas which the local
government has direct control. On
the other hand, development
indicators are not necessarily
within the control of the LGUs but
are utilized to determine the
development gaps where the local
government, national government
factors include macroeconomic policies
to maximize opportunities for pro-poor
employment growth, an enabling
environment for sustainable enterprise
development, social dialogue and
fundamental investments.
The knowledge accumulated in these
discussions and publications, based on
analysis by the Office and guidance from
constituents, underpins the preparation
of this report (see sidebar for a
chronological summary). The present
report, in turn, contributes to the
knowledge base relating to the skills
components of the Global Employment
Agenda (GEA), which was adopted by
the Governing Body in March 2003 and
provides an analytical framework for
promoting the employment components
of the Decent Work Agenda.

although the governance
performance of the Municipality of
San Rafael for three rating periods
did not go below 4 (high), the
overall governance mean rating

productivity and economic and

Employment Reports, beginning in 1999,
have taken up the issue of skills
development directly or as a component
of broader employment policy issues.

barangays of Vigan City. The
questionnaire used in the
study was based on the
Barangay Performance and

System (BPPMS), which was
constructed by the Local
Government Academy (LGA).
The said instrument was
supported by interviews with
the barangay residents,

gathered in the study were
analyzed through the use of

and productivity could grow in tandem
and create a virtuous circle of decent
and productive employment
opportunities.
The topic of this report is particularly
relevant to the skills development needs
identified in Decent Work Country
Programmes (DWCPs). As the principal
vehicle for promoting decent work at
the country level, DWCPs comprise a set
of agreed priorities for tripartite
certificates. Majority of the
barangays also hold regular
barangay assemblies twice a
year. The barangays in Vigan
City have maintained
barangay facilities. They have
initiated only few barangay
economic enterprises, have
assisted in national health
programs, have organized
barangay committees and
councils, and have
implemented a garbage
collection and disposal
system. On the aspect of
barangay performance in
terms of revenue, the
barangays produced only
minimal amount. They still
depend on the Internal
Revenue Allocation (IRA) to
run the barangay.
The performance of the
barangays was found to have
been affected by the
adequacy of non-human
resources like barangay
equipment and service
vehicles, as well as the
responsiveness of the
barangay in the issuance of
barangay certificates.
This study used the
descriptive research design
utilizing both the descriptive
and correlational methods of
research. In this study, the
current status of the
barangays was described,
 also described in this
chapter. The researcher
conducted this study at the
city government of Iloilo on
March 2012. As an
exploratory study, mixed
methods were employed to
administer it. Methods of
data gathering used
included interview, survey,
and secondary data
collection.
CONCLUSION This study is about the
perception of the
employees of the local
government unit in the city
of Iloilo, Philippines,
regarding the purposes of
their Performance
Appraisal System (PAS).
The researcher sought to
determine the level of
awareness of the
employees of the city as to
their PAS, highlighting on
the purposes for which it
has been established in the
city government and
identifying its opportunities
and challenges. The
findings on the perception
of employees will form part
of a larger examination of
its effectiveness and for a

The case suggests that the

in LGUs and the related

performance are functions
of the relationship

current DWCPs identify skills
development, productivity and
employment as national priorities for
improving competitiveness, enhancing
the employability of young women and
men and increasing decent work
opportunities for disadvantaged groups.
In conclusion, this brief overview
underlines the value of the efforts made
by labor ministries, trade unions and
employers organizations to integrate
skills development issues and strategies
into the design of policies on trade,
technology and the environment.
Coordination with the ministries and
agencies responsible for policy design
and implementation in these areas is
therefore required if national education
and skills development systems are to
be able to: (1) equip workers, employers
and young women and men with the
skills required by emerging industries
and jobs; and (2) build national
capabilities to manage the transition
between declining and growing sectors
and occupations. Without such
measures, the result will be skill gaps,
high individual and social adjustment
costs, and missed opportunities to boost
