• 11.
  Actors and Structures ▪An actor - is a sector or group or institution that participates in the process of decision-making and implementation. ▪ A structure - refers to an organization or mechanism that formally or informally guides the decision-making process and sets into the motion the different actors and apparatuses in the implementation process. ▪ Informal Actors and Bad Governance – Their influence is felt more clearly in local governments, such as organized crime syndicates and powerful families, and in rural and urban areas. Most often than not, these actors are the cause of corruption, in that legitimate government objectives are distorted by their illegal and private interests. Worse, they manipulate government officials and agencies, and cause widespread yet organized violence in the community. In urban and rural areas, for example, the rich and powerful families control the economy by controlling the local government officials. They bring about a controlled environment so that decisions must always favor them.

  CURRENT STATE OFGOVERNANCE IN THE PHILIPPINES ▪ The Philippines is plagued by bad governance. Based on the six dimensions of governance in the Worldwide Governance Indicators (WGI), it ranks in the lower half of the percentile. In 2010-2011, the Philippines ranked only 85th in the Global Competitive Index (GCI), lagging behind most of its Southeast Asian neighbors. The decline of trust on the actors of governance and the consequential poor economic condition were brought about by the systemic corruption among and between public officials and private organizations. In 2013, it ranked 94th among 177 countries in the Corruption Perception Index. Among the key institutions in the Philippines perceived to be most corrupt based on the Global Corruption Index are ―political parties,―judiciary, ―police, ―public officials and civil servants, and ―legislature. This means all branches of the Philippine government are now challenged.
