However, governance has been distorted and abused by elites who have captured public institutions to

advance their narrow interests. Globalization has created conditions for corruption both in its broad and
narrow senses to flourish. At the same time, developing countries face pressure from aid agencies and
foreign investors to pursue policies consistent with their ideologies in line with a neoliberal agenda. The
top-down aid conditionality imposed by Washington-based institutions adds further pressure to
introduce neoliberal reforms and makes developing countries governments more accountable to donor
institutions than to their people. The true measure of good governance is its ability to deliver
development based on realizing peoples human rights. It entails transparency, accountability,
participation, and responsiveness to the needs of the poor, marginalized and underrepresented groups.
THE CHALLENGE
Good governance is essential to achieve development while true participatory democracy ensures that
development is equitable and sustainable. Public institutions need to be able to manage public
resources and conduct public affairs in a manner that is free of corruption and abuse that upholds the
rule of law and that protects and promotes the realization of the rights of its people. The true measure
of good governance is the ability of a government to realize peoples human rights and deliver
sustainable and equitable development. Good governance is derived through transparency,
accountability, participation and responsiveness to the needs of the poor, marginalized and
underrepresented groups.
THE CAMPAIGN FOR PEOPLES GOALS MAKES THE FOLLOWING RECOMMENDATIONS TO GUIDE A
NEW DEVELOPMENT AGENDA TO:
Strengthen rights and opportunities of people especially traditionally underrepresented groups to
take greater part in governance and affairs of the community, nationally and internationally.

Actively engage peoples participation in development and implementation of policies at local and
national level, and paying particular attention to include traditionally underrepresented groups such
as women, basic sectors (workers and farmers), youth, disabled persons, ethnic minorities and
indigenous peoples;

Fully guarantee freedom of speech, a free press, the right to assembly and association, and the right
to vote and be elected in public office;

Limit influence of money in politics by imposing spending limits, contribution limits, and bans on
certain types of donations to political parties and offices;

Recognize and value cultural diversity of different communities and support and promote
traditional knowledge and customary practices in governance;

Uphold the right of indigenous peoples communities to free prior and informed consent in all
actions, policies and developments affecting their communities; and

Consciously expand education and awareness raising on peoples rights to participate in public
affairs.

Institute measures for accountability, transparency, democracy and justice in governance.

Recognize, legislate, enact and operationalize the right to information. This includes publishing and
disseminating budget information in easy and accessible formats through all possible means;

Perform social audits in partnership with civil society;

Hold public justice and law enforcement agencies police force and courts to highest standards of
integrity and human rights adherence. Ensure access to remedies for victims of human rights
violations by strengthening ombudspersons, elections commissions and human rights commissions;
and

Introduce accountability mechanisms which people can access and participate in regardless of their
background and which they can use to ensure that their human rights are being met; and ensure
that these processes are decided in a transparent and equitable process.

Strengthen corporate accountability and human rights adherence.

Ensure compliance of business and industry with national laws and international human rights and
environmental standards; and

Strive to create international rules and monitoring mechanisms to guide the conduct of
transnational corporations, addressing issues such as transfer pricing, price fixing, tax evasion,
corporate lobbying and interference in national politics.

Good Governance
The theme of this National Convention - good governance - is both relevant and timely. I
commend you for choosing it.
President Aquino, at the beginning of his term, laid out an ambitious reform agenda anchored
on a platform of good governance. Australia very much shares the good governance agenda
of the Philippines. Our programs and investments here are designed to support the
Philippines own reforms.
In the Australia-Philippines Development Cooperation Program Statement of Commitment
signed in March, our two countries committed to support an accountable, transparent and
effective governance to ensure that resources are effectively and efficiently used for the
delivery of public goods and services. For 2012-13, Australia will be investing around AUD15
million in good governance initiatives, including initiatives right here in Bohol.
In his State of the Nation Address last July, President Aquino spoke of the tangible results of
the reforms that his administration has pursued. He went as far to say that good governance
can and has put food on the table of Filipinos.
Other interested observers have also recognised the overall progress towards good
governance in the Philippines. This is reflected in the consistent improvement in the countrys
credit ratings and the increasing confidence of the people in their government and leaders as
shown through recent national surveys.
The seeds of change and good governance have been planted and have started to bear fruit.
These reforms need the support of all Filipinos in order to be sustainable.
I am pleased to see that you, as Australian Alumni, are responding to this challenge and are
playing key roles in governance reforms in the Philippines.
The choice of the Province of Bohol as the venue for the convention reflects this. In August
this year, the Province was awarded as the Best Governed Province by the Department of
the Interior and Local Government. (The late Jesse Robredo will be missed in the Philippines
for his contribution to our bilateral relations.) This award is in recognition of Bohols
outstanding performance on administrative, social, economic and environmental governance,
and its adherence to the fundamental principles of good governance including transparency,
participation and financial accountability. Governor Chatto (in absentia), men and women of
Bohol, please accept my congratulations for this great achievement.
I am pleased to note that Australia, through our long history of cooperation with the Province,
has supported good governance. Under the Provincial Roads Management Facility and other
Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade initiatives, we have supported Bohol to:

increase locally-generated revenues through the establishment of an automated tax

assessment and collection system
develop human resource and management development plans which provide the basis for
investing in people and organisational systems
establish a more transparent and open tendering process, which encourages participation
from the private sector and civil society organisations.

The PA3i Looking Forward

I believe that good governance can also help PA3i to become the premiere alumni association
in the Philippines. A well-managed and well-governed PA3i

will be an agent of social change and development in the Philippines;

will be self-sustaining; and
will give prominence to its members and expand its membership, being Australian Universities
alumni, as ambassadors of Australian Education in the Philippines.
My Embassy colleagues have told me about your workshop held several weeks ago, in
Manila, to reflect on the future of PA3i and Australian Alumni in the Philippines. I am pleased
to note that you are devoting part of the Convention in charting new directions for PA3i and
the Australian Alumni Network in the Philippines. I wish you all the best in t he workshop and
look forward to hearing more about this in the coming months. I also look forward to hearing
the outcome of your elections this weekend, and to working constructively with the new office holders.
The constant stream of Australian alumni, both scholars and full-fee paying, returning to the
Philippines, the increasing number of self-funded Filipinos studying in Australia, and the
growing number of Filipinos acquiring Australian qualifications in the Philippines present an
opportunity for growth for PA3i.
The Australian Community in the Philippines is also expanding. Your partnership with
MultiRational Corporation is an innovative example of how linking with the broader Australian
Community in the Philippines can benefit PA3i and its partners.
The strength of an organisation comes from its members and partners. I would like to take this
opportunity to encourage Pa3i to be proactive about expanding its membership and partners.
A more diverse and broader membership base will enable PA3i to effect more meaningful
change and development both at the community and at the national level. It would be good for
more people to benefit from what PA3i has to offer.

Australian Government Commitment to the Alumni

The Australian Government remains committed to supporting Australian Alumni.

A whole-of-government review of Alumni activities is underway to inform the development of

an Australia Awards Alumni Network strategy. This is in recognition of the important role that
the alumni play as partner in development, and in promoting Australian Government priorities.
The strategy will identify ways by which we can work closer and support better Australian
Alumni around the globe.
In the Philippines, we will continue to support alumni activities that

promote a more meaningful social, intellectual, educational and political understanding

between Australia and the Philippines; and
enhance the reputation, prestige and competitiveness of Australian education.
In my 6 months in the Philippines, I have seen PA3is strong focus on activities which promote
social development. This is understandable given the issues that you face in your
communities and organisations. I am convinced, however, that there is a case for you to take
a more active role in strengthening the bilateral relationship and people to people links
between Australia and the Philippines. And these areas need not be mutually exclusive.

Closing
Let me now end by reiterating my congratulations to all of you for this successful convention. I
would also like to give special mention to the Bohol Chapter and Provincial Government of
Bohol for leading this event.
My wife Chris and I, along with my colleagues from Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade,
are honoured to have been invited to this event.
I am sure you will all enjoy the activities lined up for the rest of the convention and I wish you
all a safe trip back to your home cities and provinces tomorrow.
Thank you and mabuhay.
