Administration in the Philippines ASPAP and the Filipino Decade of e - Governance ASPAP ON THE GO !
The Association of Schools of
Public Administration and Governance ( ASPAP ) has put itself behind the concerted effort to bring the Filipino citizen and the Philippines more fully into the era of e - governance . The 2010 Automated Elections – eGovernance Milestone There is nothing that signals the entry of the Philippines into this era than the upcoming 2010 Automated Electoral System . Here we decide to make information and communication technology help us choose our leaders and lead us not only for the next six years , with impact maybe for several terms after that . This is at least as momentous an event as when Filipinos began trusting the ATM machines with their money decades ago . This time , we are entrusting ICT for eGovernance
Voting , however , is only the tip of
the iceberg . Information and communication technology for governance , or e - governance , is a much broader engagement . ICT can be used to further empower the citizens , enabling them to more accurately , frequently , intelligently , and insistently bring their concerns to government . We are already learning how to storm the gates of the bureaucracy with our text messages and our public opinions . Never before did the Filipino citizen have the power of being able to give a piece of his mind to political leaders and politicians with an ICT for Public , not only Private , Empowerment But we must learn how to harness this new power , this new connectivity , to enhance citizen participation and government responsiveness and accountability . We must learn how to communicate not only personal needs and wants , but collective interests and goals . We must learn to use ICT not only for interest articulation , but interest aggregation as well . ICT for Political Party System Development ICT must help us build or re - build our political party system . Political parties are in the business of finding out what the Filipino , from Aparri to Zamboanga and beyond , need and expect from government . This used to be a touch and go process , as political parties never had the organization and machinery for assaying the people ’ s sentiments and opinions , although they always managed to organize to obtain the people ’ s votes . With ICT , it is now possible for political parties to more feasibly understand their constituents enough to represent their genuine voice and interests in the institutions of government , in sangguniansat various levels , and in Congress . Most importantly , the President , and the vast bureaucracy she or he presides over , can be constantly attuned to the sentiments and opinions of the people . ICT for a Broader and More Direct Democracy In brief , ICT has brought to us the potential of a broader and more direct democracy . Representative democracy became inevitable when it became impossible to meet more than 1 , 000 people in deliberative assemblies . It was also not possible to give people as much knowledge and information as their congressmen and members of parliament . Today , however , with modern information and communication technology , the citizen can be as knowledgeable about global , national , and local affairs as his congressman . And he can express himself using ICT in a two - way interactive political process , whereas before he used to always be at the ICT for Filipino Nationalism Information and communication technology also engenders nationalism and national identity , in addition to democracy . For the first time , Filipinos can have friends and acquaintances across the breadth and length of the archipelago . Another Filipino is just a text message away , and friends are to be found in cyberspace 24 / 7 , in the virtual agoras of facebook , twitter , multiply , and other social cybernetworks . ICT for the Filipino – Local , National , International These are the promises of ICT for e - governance , for a nation of Filipinos that are destined to be partly in , and partly out – Filipino “ locals ” in their communities , Filipino “ nationals ” attentive to national affairs , and Filipino “ internationals ” who are beyond Philippine borders and in hundreds of other countries of the world . ICT to bring about OFVs and OFCs For the first time , Filipinos can spread out , because they can remain connected to the motherland . This is true not only in terms of the social and cultural , but also in terms of legal . The OFW should soon be a reliable OFV ( overseas Filipino voter ) and eventually an OFC ( overseas Filipino citizen ). What is the role of ASPAP in all this? Linking Public Ad Schools into Civic Discourse Networks The spread of information and communication technology has followed private interests and business interests . It has not quite followed public and collective interests . There is a need to bridge another version of the digital divide , where institutions attentive to public interests , issues , and concerns in various localities are not able to discourse on these issues because of the distance and isolation . For instance , there are over 120 member schools of the ASPAP , all connected with their communities , but are not effectively connected with one another to start and maintain discourses and exchanges on national and public issues . As public administration learning institutions , they are only half - effective unless the technology to interconnect them is brought in to make them a truly national organization . The rationale for EXCHANGES This is why ASPAP , with the assistance of our partners , especially UNDP , has thought of the project that we are launching today – EXCHANGES . EXCHANGES a Civic Social Network Infrastructure EXCHANGES aims to be the infrastructure for national dialog among selected regional academic hubs that in turn are connected to the key civil society , private sector , and government sector institutions in their localities . Regional hubs will themselves be organizing and sustaining regional dialogues on regional and local issues . The idea is to create structured opportunities for citizens all over the country to be informed , interested , and involved in crucial issues such as the trustworthiness of the 2010 Automated Electoral System that we are discussing today . The EXCHANGES is an infrastructure for allowing intelligent debate and learning happen across distance . It is an infrastructure for distance education in public affairs , as EXCHANGES as a Cyber Network EXCHANGES provides basic equipment and facilities to enable the local ICT capabilities of the host universities that serve as regional hubs to be linked together . It enables audiovisual and computer centers or laboratories to talk to one another across the internet . This discourse must not only be intermittent , but a habit , following national and regional schedule of events . That is what EXCHANGES is essentially about . There are other goals , such as the continuing capacitation of public administration institutions , and the upgrading of the competencies of individual professors and practitioners of public Launching a Beginning
In the end , we would like ASPAP to
be known as one of the pioneer institutions that purposively and effectively empowered the Filipino to be a better citizen through the upcoming field of e - governance . What we have today is a launch of a small beginning that hopefully other institutions in the national and local arena would take up . ASPAP , in turn , has been an eager partner and collaborator of other institutions that have been promoting good governance . Salute to the ASPAP Family I salute all individuals and institutions who are members of the ASPAP family , for we are collectively doing our share to make the Philippines worthy of its wonderful citizens who deserve much better than our public institutions have delivered . We will continue to do our share , and will teach others to do the same , both on the ground , and in cyberspace . Thank you and good day . End Of Presentation
