philippine navy islands of good governance revalida report
DESCRIPTION
The Philippine Navy has reached its 2015 waypoint in its transformation journey - to become an Island of Governance that is a strong Sentinel of the Sea, a Standard of Excellence, and a Bastion of Innovation. This report contains the detailed discussion on its three breakthroughs, and the impact to the Navy's operational readiness and effectiveness in performing its mandate as the protector of our seas - all in order to secure a bright, progressive future for the Philippines.TRANSCRIPT
2
We in the Philippine Navy believe that our vast waters serve to connect rather than divide the islands that make up our proud maritime nation. Our waters, teeming
with abundant natural resources, are our nation’s great blessing, and in them lies one of the keys to our security and progress as a country.
In the same way, it is our shared aspiration of a peaceful and progressive Philippines and a prosperous life for our countrymen that connects the different
institutions in the government, private sector, and the civil society. We all have the same end in mind; and in the recent years, we have seen ourselves gradually converging and rowing together to reach that end.
Through the Islands of Good Governance 2015 initiative of the National
Competitiveness Council (NCC) and the Institute for Solidarity in Asia (ISA), we were able to accelerate this convergence. The Philippine Navy is one with this group of good governance trailblazers – this archipelago of institutions working together to
strengthen performance excellence towards global competitiveness of our beloved country.
With our Sail Plan 2020 as our guide, we were able to fulfill the commitments
we made in 2013 to be a Sentinel of the Sea, a Standard of Excellence, and a
Bastion of Innovation. It is a feat only made possible through our people – our sailors,
marines, civilian personnel, and reservists – who are working persistently to accomplish our mission and put flesh to our aspirations, the support of the national
leadership, the untiring assistance of our partners in NCC, ISA, and other PGS practitioners, and the faith of our stakeholders – the Filipino people – who continue to
dream and believe with the Navy. But the journey does not stop here. Even as we have exceeded our
breakthrough commitments, the IGG is but one waypoint in our journey towards our vision. Our Navy will be sailing on, continuing to live up to the values of good
governance as we sustain our momentum towards modernization. It is our rudder that will keep us steady when sailing in turbulent waters of challenges within and outside our organization. It is the north star that will guide us back on our track whenever we
have to adjust our course to accommodate inevitable and necessary changes.
With our personnel and stakeholders onboard our Sail Plan journey, our Navy shall continue gaining headway, covering more waypoints, fulfilling its vision to become a strong and credible force that effectively protects our seas and secures our
bright future as a maritime nation.

The Philippines is a maritime nation.
History has shown that we are a seafaring people, and our country’s geography
has given us exceptional seamanship and strong affinity to the waters. Indeed, destiny
has made it our primary responsibility to protect our nation’s rich maritime
resources and harness our capabilities to effectively manage and control our seas.
Given this imperative, the
Philippine Navy (PN) has taken up the crucial role of being the guardian of our archipelago from its inception
more than a century ago. Article II, Section 3 of the Philippine
Constitution states that: “The Armed Forces of the Philippines is the protector of the people and the State. Its goal is to secure the sovereignty of the state
and the integrity of the National Territory.” As the naval arm of the AFP, the PN is the major service of the AFP that provides the naval component force for our country’s
defense and protection. The PN’s effectiveness, however,
has been constrained by enormous internal and external challenges that have left it
trailing behind the navies in the region and in the world. For a long time, our Navy’s organization, assets, and equipment had
fallen to conditions that considerably reduced its ability to effectively perform its
mandate. It has suffered from benign neglect in terms of modernization and capability build-up.
It likewise lost many real estate under its custody because it had no real strong
justification to back its claim to keep and develop them. And just like its platforms, the Navy was using doctrines, which embody the way they perform their operations that
are outdated and obsolete.

The Birth of the Sail Plan
These realities, a stronger call for good governance, and the increasing
demands of the ever-changing security environment where it operates caused the Navy to take a more purposive look on the way it does things and the direction that its organization is taking. After a thorough strategic assessment, the Navy saw the glaring
need for a turn-around.
From November 06 to 08, 2006, a group of Navy Officers, from the rank of Rear Admiral and Commodore down to Lieutenant and Ensign, guided by Dr. Jesus P. Estanislao and the Institute for Solidarity in Asia (ISA), and other renowned
personalities representing the Navy’s stakeholders, crafted the current North Star of the PN in its attempt to turn its organization around: the PN Strategic Sail Plan 2020.
Commonly called the “Sail Plan,” it serves as the Navy’s strategy for
organizational development. The Sail Plan outlines the specific and concrete steps
that the Navy will take in order to realize the shared aspiration of its men and women: that by 2020, we shall be a strong and credible Navy that our maritime nation can be
proud of.
In crafting the Sail Plan, the Navy took a deliberate assessment of the strategic issues it is confronting in the areas of executive focus, doctrine development, resource planning and management, personnel development, facilities, planning process,
leadership, and the link between the budget and the strategy. Based on the issues i t identified, the Navy determined the ideal state of its organization that will be able to
support effective execution and sustainment of naval and maritime operations, in support to the accomplishment of the AFP mission.

The development of the PN Sail Plan 2020, designed to be the Navy’s accompanying framework of the DND’s and the AFP’s major thrusts, provide direction
and focus in undertaking its mandated tasks, a management tool that details the journey that the Navy will embark on towards attaining the vision of being a strong and
credible force.

A. THE PHILIPPINE NAVY STRATEGIC SAIL PLAN 2020
1. PN CHARTER STATEMENT
As the Navy’s developmental strategy, the Sail Plan is composed of the PN Charter Statement; the Governance Strategy Map; and the Enterprise Scorecard, also known as the FOIC, PN Balanced Scorecard.
The PN Charter Statement is composed of the vision, mission and core
values of the Navy. The Charter Statement provides a grounded framework from which every plan or program that the organization will undertake shall be aligned. It also serves as a reminder to every sailor, marine, civilian personnel,
and reservist of their professional objectives and an inspiration for them to better serve the country, the Navy, and its stakeholders.
The PN Vision articulates what the Navy aims to realize and achieve
within a definite time horizon. It is a long-term goal that describes the aspiration
of the Navy in so far as the course it would take in the future is concerned.
“By 2020, we shall be a strong and credible Navy that our maritime nation can be proud of.”
The Mission states the Navy’s mandate and its specific contribution to
the achievement of the Higher Headquarters’ mission. It gives the Navy a clear
direction in continuing its efforts to further develop its capabilities as a major service of the Armed Forces of the Philippines.
“To organize, train, equip, maintain, develop and deploy forces for prompt and sustained naval and maritime operations to accomplish the
AFP mission”
The Core Values serves as the foundation of the efforts to further build
the Navy organization. It outlines the principles, standards and ideals that every Navy personnel must observe in performing their functions. It serves as a guide
in molding and sustaining the character and lifestyle that will uplift the individual performance of every Navy personnel and ensure the organization’s overall mission accomplishment.

2. STRATEGY MAP
The PN Governance Strategy, also known as the PN Strategy Map, tells
the story of how the Navy intends to reach its desired state by 2020. It serves
as the basis for all capability-development initiatives of the Navy. Anchored on the PN Charter Statement, the PN Strategy Map links the three (3) strategic themes, five (5) perspectives and 12 strategic objectives.
The PN Strategy Map provides the visual illustration of the cause-and-effect relationship among the strategic objectives of the Sail Plan with the
ultimate objective of achieving the vision of the Navy. These strategic objectives address the Navy’s strategic issues that were identified in 2006.
The Strategic Objectives are grouped into five perspectives: Personnel,
Organization, Resources, Capability, and Accomplishment.
The strategy map is read from bottom up, starting with the Personnel
perspective, highlighting the fact that the sailors, marines and civilian personnel
of the Navy are the foundation of its success and effectiveness. This perspective pertains to the investments that must be made to upgrade the
motivation, values, knowledge and skills of people in the organization. The Organization perspective, on the other hand, pertains to the improvement in the systems and processes of the Navy. The Resources perspective
corresponds to the effective, efficient and transparent management and utilization of the Navy’s financial resources while the Capability perspective
contains the development of its platforms, assets, equipment, and facilities. Finally, the Accomplishment perspective contains the Navy’s desired
outcomes: a secured maritime environment and satisfied stakeholders. The 12 strategic objectives likewise address the strategic themes of Mission Responsiveness, Maritime Security and Maritime Prosperity.

3. PN GOVERNANCE SCORECARD
The PN Governance Scorecard, commonly known as the FOIC, PN Balanced Scorecard (BSC), was crafted to manage the implementation of the
PN Strategy Map. It translates the objectives contained in the strategy map into defined performance measures, targets and initiatives. The BSC also serves as the primary guide of the Navy in monitoring the progress and attainment of the
desired strategic objectives of the Sail Plan. It gives a clearer view of the specific projects, programs and activities that the Navy has to undertake in
order to address the current challenges it is facing and to take advantage of its strengths and opportunities.
An effective BSC is an ever-evolving, dynamic tool that is able to adapt to the changes in the strategic issues of the organization. Hence, along the
journey of implementing the Sail Plan, the Navy also regularly revisits and revises the BSC of the FOIC, PN. The first-ever FOIC, PN BSC was crafted in 2006. As the Navy progressed in the implementation of the Sail Plan, the PN
saw the need to rationalize the measures and strategic initiatives contained in the FOIC, PN BSC as some of them were no longer responsive. Some are also
not strategic but were rather operational and tactical in nature. With this concern, the PN revised its BSC in 2010 during a Strategy Review of the Sail Plan. This brought improvements in the way the PN manages the FOIC, PN
BSC. Measures of strategic objectives were trimmed down from 31 to 22. The initiatives contained in the BSC have become more concise and strategic. A
strategy review was again conducted in 2012 to verify the validity of the objectives, measures and initiatives in the FOIC, PN BSC. This was followed by an intensive PN Officers Core Team Training in 2013 which aimed to further
cascade the strategy of the PN to its units and individual personnel. Finally, in December 2014, the PN Sail Plan Review served as an avenue for the PN to
further rationalize the existing objectives, measures, and initiatives in the FOIC, PN Balanced Scorecard. Additionally, the PN was able to validate the alignment of the PN objectives and initiatives to the AFP Transformation Roadmap 2028.
To date, the PN Governance Scorecard has 12 strategic objectives, 25
measures, and 14 strategic initiatives which are more responsive to the needs of the Navy and its stakeholders, both internal and external.

With these breakthroughs in the PN Sail Plan, the Navy has fostered a culture of professionalism, good governance and leadership excellence. From
a legacy-based Navy, the Navy has become more strategy-driven, giving priorities to the strategic needs of the organization and personnel instead of personal interests. This further resulted to diminishing silos in the organization.
Huge adjustments to align with the new plans of a new leader were already avoided. It also enabled the PN to focus and maximize its efforts and resources
on key areas of improvement such as personnel competency, organizational excellence, resource management efficiency, capability upgrade and stakeholder satisfaction. From tactical to routine way of thinking, PN personnel,
from the senior leaders down to the junior officers have started to think long -term and more strategic. These are just some of the definite manifestations that
the Navy has indeed transformed and has institutionalized the Sail Plan in the organization.
Notably, the roots of the three PN IGG commitments can be traced through the initiatives in the Sail Plan that serve as vital components in bringing
the change in the Navy organization.

B. IMPLEMENTING THE STRATEGY
1. Cascading the Strategy
The PN Strategic Sail Plan 2020 was translated into operational terms following the Performance Governance System (PGS) of the
Institute for Solidarity in Asia and the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) Framework of Drs. Robert S. Kaplan and David P. Norton.
With the unique nature of the PN as a military organization,
cascading and alignment was done using a top-down approach.
Through this, scorecards at all levels of the PN organization—from the Flag Officer in Command, PN (FOIC, PN) down to the individual Navy
personnel—are synchronized in achieving the objectives of the Sail Plan.
Cascading started in 2010 and was completed in 2013, when the PN Sail Plan reached the individual level. Notwithstanding this, the PN
continues to revalidate the PN Sail Plan and realign the initiatives of PN Units.
27
To ensure alignment
and synchronization, all PN units and staff
use a customized framework on the Balanced Scorecard.
Their template is composed of input,
output, and outcome perspectives. The input perspectives—
Personnel, Organization,
Resource and Capability—focuses on the attainment of the objectives and the implementation of the initiatives that
build the capacity and capability of the organization, which will then lead to the overall readiness of the PN, mission accomplishment and stakeholder
satisfaction. On the other hand, the Accomplishment perspective is the output and outcome perspective because it contains the result and the impact of the individual contributions and achievements completed in the P-O-R-C or “input”
perspectives.
28
Functional Second Level Scorecards
The PN is composed of 21 second-level units: two (2) type
commands, five (5) support commands, eight (8) support units and six (6) operational commands.
Each of these units performs peculiar tasks that are all crucial in
achieving the Navy’s mission. PN units developed and
aligned their respective strategic initiatives with each other to ensure
that there are no gaps or duplication of tasks in the second level of the PN organization. Timelines have also been aligned to ensure synchronization and smooth implementation of the initiatives.
All 2nd Level PN Units, except for its Naval Operating Forces (NOFs),
derive their strategies and respective scorecards solely from the enterprise level. For the case of the NOFs, the input perspectives of Personnel, Organization, Resources, and Capability are derived from the Enterprise
Strategy of the Navy while the Accomplishment perspective is derived from the Unified Commands of the AFP.
Lower Level Scorecards
Commitment of lower unit levels to accomplish the objectives of the PN Sail Plan is best exemplified by their dedication to effectively and efficiently
execute the strategy through the use of the BSC. Sub-units have their own scorecards that are aligned with higher level scorecards through the cascading process of directly deriving their contributions from the unit BSC. Through this,
tasks are assured to be distributed productively and effectively.
Staff within headquarters also crafted their own office scorecard. Their scorecards serve as the extension of unit and sub-unit scorecards as they are the owners and managers of the objectives, measures and initiatives contained
in their respective unit and sub-unit scorecards.
Functional Individual Scorecards
As of October 2015, the PN has a total of 20,054 functional individual
scorecards of its personnel. This figure comprises 91% of the PN’s current strength, excluding those personnel assigned at AFP and other units outside
the PN.
29
At the end of the day, it is the individual PN personnel who will determine the success and sustainability of the Sail Plan. It is the individual who will carry
out the implementation of the initiatives provided in the FOIC,PN BSC. As such, every PN personnel—officer, enlisted personnel, and civilian employee—have the proper knowledge and right commitment to give their contributions for the
attainment of the vision of the Navy as reflected through the Individual Scorecards. The Individual Scorecard contains two perspectives: professional
and personal. The professional perspective reflects the direct contribution of the personnel to the Sail Plan based on his or her core function and job description. On the other hand, the personal perspective comprises the
personal development of the individual personnel – his/her well-being in terms of the physical, social, emotional, mental and spiritual dimensions, among
others.

2. Embedding the PN Sail Plan into the Organization
The PN has continuously endeavored to ensure that the thrusts of the Sail Plan are aligned to and supportive of the policies, guidance and thrusts of
the Higher Headquarters and pertinent national government agencies. In the same way, the Navy aligns internal support systems and processes to the Sail Plan and ensure that this will facilitate effective implementation and
improvement of systems and processes. .
Aligning to the DND, DBM, AND GHQ AFP
The Defense System of Management (DSOM) is the overarching system
of the Department of National Defense (DND) that links capability development
to planning, programming, budgeting, execution, and performance review. It provides the mechanism for the DND to ensure the effective and transparent
implementation of the AFP Modernization Program. DSOM has four (4) component systems namely: the Defense Strategic Planning System (DSPS); the Defense Capability Assessment and Planning System (DCAPS); the
Defense Acquisition System (DAS); and the Defense Resource Management System (DRMS).
The Sail Plan, as the Navy’s organizational development strategy, aligns
with the Active Archipelagic Defense Strategy (AADS), the Navy’s operational
strategy. Using the DCAPS as its framework, the Sail Plan provides the AADS’ required development of doctrines, organization, training, leadership, people,
materiel and facilities (DOTLPMF).

The Sail Plan also enables the PN to adhere to the Organizational Performance Indicator Framework (OPIF) of the Department of Budget and
Management (DBM) as it embodies the specific objectives and initiatives that will directly accomplish the Navy’s Major Final Output based on its
mandate.The Navy is able to facilitate the identification, planning, and programming of activities and projects that directly contribute to MFOs through the Unit, Office and Individual Scorecards aligned to the FOIC,PN BSC.
Because of the said link, priority in terms of budget is given to the Plans, Action Plans and Programs (PAPs) which are defined in the PN Sail Plan for the given
fiscal year according to a unit or office’s mission and/or core function.
Linking the Budget to the Strategy
The PN Annual Plan and Budget Development Guidance (PN APBDG)
provides the general direction in conducting the Annual Plan and Budget (APB) development process of PN, incorporating therein the results of the major processes of the DSOM. Good governance practice is emulated in the budget
formulation cycle, since the budget development process being implemented in the PN is guided by the concepts of Public Expenditure Management (PEM)
and the Organizational Performance Indicator Framework (OPIF) of the Department of Budget and Management, among others.
This results in the higher percentage allocation of the overall PN Budget to Major Final Outputs (MFOs) and Unit Final Outputs (UFOs). In the PN APB
for CY 2015, around 90% of the total PN Budget is allocated for strategic initiatives (MFOs and UFOs), and 10% for support to these initiatives and for management and administration expenses.
32
The Resource Development Guidance issued by the Naval Resource Management Office (NRMO) every year is largely based on the priority
initiatives under each objective of the Sail Plan. Through this mechanism, the Navy is able to achieve a balanced financial program because it provides the
sustainment of operations and development of capabilities despite the limited resources given by the national government.
Aligning the FOIC, PN Command Guidance
The Command Guidance is the
document issued by the Flag Officer in
Command of the PN (FOIC,PN) that outlines the strategic
thrusts of his leadership and the
specific tasks under these thrusts. It translates the
guidance and policies from the Higher
Headquarters to tasks specific for the Navy as one of the AFP’s major services. As it contains the general policy direction by the head of the Navy, the Command Guidance serves as one of the main reference for annual planning
and execution of the entire organization.
Since 2006, every Command Guidance of the incumbent FOIC,PN has echoed the strategic direction and specific thrusts of the Sail Plan. The Command Guidance has since been structured according to the five
perspectives of the Sail Plan: Personnel, Organization, Resources, Capability, and Accomplishment. By so doing, the Sail Plan is institutionalized as a
reference for policy and decision making of the FOIC,PN and his Command Team.
In using the Sail Plan as a reference for his Command Guidance, the incumbent FOIC,PN signifies his commitment to the Sail Plan and signals all
Navy personnel, particularly the members of the Command Team, to follow suit. The Command Guidance then becomes an effective mechanism to ensure alignment within the organization. In addition, as the policy directions provided
in the Command Guidance are given priority in budget allocation, it also becomes an effective tool to ensure that initiatives of the Sail Plan are provided
with resources.
33
3. Champions of Good Governance
The Center for Naval Leadership and Excellence
The Center for Naval Leadership and Excellence (CNLE) is the PN’s fully-functional Office of Strategy Management, serving as an independent office directly reporting to the Flag Officer in Command, PN. It is primarily
tasked to oversee the implementation of the PN’s developmental strategy, the PN Strategic Sail Plan 2020.
The Center has been actively monitoring the execution of the PN’s
developmental roadmap and the changes encountered along the way, since its inception in 2008. For seven years and counting, CNLE has initiated and
conducted various initiatives, which led to the successful and sustained implementation of the PGS in the Navy. These initiatives include the alignment of the PN strategy across all levels; review and validation of the
PN strategy; regular conduct of cascading and alignment to second level units and to individuals; and strengthened and more rigorous execution of
the PN Sail Plan communication plan.
PN Sail Plan Officers
The cascading and alignment across all HPN staff and PN units served
as one of the major challenges for CNLE as an OSM, primarily because of its limited manpower. To address this, CNLE partners with a group of dynamic and dedicated Sail Plan champions called Sail Plan Officers. Well-equipped with
the knowledge on strategy formulation and execution, every member is capable of assisting CNLE in monitoring and overseeing the implementation of the Sail
Plan.
34
Currently, each HPN staff offices and every PN unit has a designated Sail Plan Officer. For the HPN staff, Sail Plan Officers are the Executive Officers
and Deputies while for PN units, they are the Chiefs of Staff. Through this set-up, the PN assures that the strategy is effectively executed through proper management and implementation. Sail Plan Officers function as the primary
personnel accountable for the implementation and update of their office/unit Governance Scorecards. Not only do they help in the management of the
strategy but also they efficiently assure that cascading is done down to the individual level through supervising cascading and alignment sessions.
The PN Board of Advisers
The PN Board of Advisers (BoA) serves as the Navy’s Multi-sectoral
Governance Coalition. It was first convened in 2009 as the PN’s advisory board which provides the needed external perspectives and appropriate guidance on
the key issues and concerns of the PN, and also acts as a channel for networks that can help the PN find solutions to pressing issues. The PN BoA meets bi-monthly.
35
The PN BoA primarily exists to advise and assist the PN in identifying
key priorities and strategic issues in accordance with the PN Sail Plan 2020; and provide insights in aligning the PN’s policies, plans and programs with the
political, socio-economic, cultural and moral development needs of the organization.
As representatives of PN external stakeholders, the PN BoA also assists the PN on possible ways to generate resources in order to sustain the Navy’s
present and future plans and programs. This was realized through the creation of the Support Your Navy Foundation (SYNF), an independent body that seeks to raise greater financial support to the PN from external stakeholders.
The current PN BoA CY 2015-2016 is composed of the following:

C. REPORTING AND MONITORING MECHANISM
Another important mechanism to ensure the effective and timely
implementation of the Sail Plan is an effective reporting and monitoring system which enables the Navy monitor the execution of specific strategic initiatives, identify best practices that can be duplicated as well as difficulties and
challenges to execution that should be addressed, and assess the over-all responsiveness of the strategy.
1. Strategy Review Meetings
Strategy review meetings
serve the following purpose:
a. Update on the strategy
execution providing the
top leadership a
chance to reflect on
progress and proposed
areas of strategic
adjustment;
b. Evaluate the strategy
based on the following:
Actual vs Target
Progress of
initiatives
Responsiveness of
the strategy
Impact of the strategy to the organization’s development; and
c. Identify actions that can be done to address issues on the strategy
The PN has three types of strategy review meetings at organizational
level while at unit level, there are two types, based on frequency and who are required to attend.

The PN employs a bottom-up approach on reporting mechanism
wherein submission of reports follow the accountability on the Balanced
Scorecard owners at the same time allows immediate actions for some issues. The initiative manager and measure owner submits a report to the objective
owner regarding the status of action plans. Consequently, for the HPN staff, the objective owner submits a comprehensive report to CNLE. In the case of units, objective owners submit the report to the Chief of Staff whom in turn
consolidates all the reports and submit to CNLE. The Center in turn, collates all the reports and renders a presentation to the PN top leadership on the quarterly
Command Conference.
39
2. PN Electronic Performance Governance Reporting System
Launched in September 2014, PN Electronic Performance Governance Reporting System (e-
PGRS) is a web-based software that facilitates effective and
efficient reporting and monitoring of the Sail Plan. The first phase (2014) features the automation of
the first level scorecards (FOIC, PN BSC and HPN Staff
Scorecards). Last June 2015, the second phase was completed with the automation of second level
scorecards—all of the 21 Unit Scorecards can now be viewed
online. Through the e-PGRS, Sail Plan Officers can update their respective office and unit
scorecards anywhere and anytime. Further, members of the PN Command Team can easily know the status on the achievement of targets and
accomplishment of initiatives 24/7. The PN e-PGRS also serves platform for any member of the Navy and
external stakeholders to learn and appreciate the basic components, details and updates on the Sail Plan as Sail Plan books, brochures and other
publications can be accessed by anyone.
The e-PGRS can be accessed at http:// cnle.navy.mil.ph/pn_epgrs.

D. SUSTAINING THE STRATEGY
1. Link to Rewards, Recognitions and Incentives
Best Sail Plan Implementing Unit Award
In 2013, the PN began incentivizing exemplary contribution to the Sail
Plan execution through the Best Sail Plan Implementing Unit Award. The award aims to honor the invaluable commitment and contribution of PN units to genuine and sustained organizational transformation, and to provide motivation
to those that excelled in effectively implementing their respective initiatives under the Sail Plan.
Link to Performance-based Bonus
The PN uses the Annual General Inspection (AGI) Rating as one of the
basis for the awarding of the Performance-based Bonus (PBB), which the
government started implementing in 2012. With the integration of the Sail Plan to the AGI, effectiveness in implementing Sail Plan initiatives have also become
a basis for the ranking of each PN unit for the PBB.
41
With the AFP’s implementation of
the Performance Evaluation Rating
(PER) for uniformed
personnel and the
Civil Service Commission’s
Individual Performance
Commitment and
Review (IPCR) for civilian personnel,
individual scorecards has
been officially adopted by the entire AFP as one of the bases for performance
evaluation and the PBB. For the PN, the framework of the individual scorecard is almost similar to the the PER and IPCR, making it effective and efficient for
the PN personnel to accomplish their expected contributions to their units and offices.
2. Governance Program
In order to ensure that the Sail Plan is integrated to the organization, the
PN has aligned its internal systems and processes with the roadmap’s thrusts.
As discussed in the previous sections, the budget system has been designed in a way that utilizes the Sail Plan, among other guidance, as the bases for
prioritizing projects and programs. Likewise, the Sail Plan has also been utilized to link the different systems and program required by the national government and the higher headquarters, namely the AFP Modernization Program, the
DND’s DSOM, and the DBM’s OPIF.
To reinforce this seamless integration, the Sail Plan has also been effectively aligned with the PN’s operational strategy, the Active Archipelagic Defense Strategy (AADS). Doing so has allowed the PN to manage its
operations and organizational development in a more strategic manner.
But governance is more than just systems and processes. For a public organization like the PN, governance entails the exercise of transparency and accountability. It requires the strengthening of integrity among its personnel and
in the processes involved in its operations. The PN’s integrity development and the Sail Plan are two mutually reinforcing initiatives. On one hand, building
integrity in the PN increases the sense of responsibility and level of performance among the individual personnel and units in implementing the Sail Plan as it makes them more aware of their accountability and it provides them
with a deeper appreciation of the meaning of public service. In the same way, the Sail Plan as a transformation program innately reinforces the values and
professionalism in the PN.
42
With this imperative, the PN has subscribed to the Integrity Development Review project of the Office of the Ombudsman from 2010-
2015. With this integrity development program in place, the PN aims to further institutionalize transparency and accountability through the Integrity
Management Program launched by the Office of the President and the
Ombudsman in 2015.
This is further complemented by the adoption of various values -enhancement program, specially the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
Signature Program.
Further, the PN sustains and continues to strengthen its collaborative
and synergistic partnership with the PN Board of Advisers, evidenced by the continuing initiatives that are borne out of the open discussion on strategic
issues the PN is facing. Same could be said about the core team - composed of the Center for Naval Leadership and Excellence and the Sail Plan Officers of individual units and staff offices of the Headquarters Philippine Navy – and
the Command Team, with the former providing sound inputs to decision-making, and the latter listening and acting accordingly.
3. The Sail Plan Caravan
“Napakahalaga ng ginagampanan nating indibidwal na tungkulin upang
makamit natin ang ating vision. Kaya sa mga kapwa ko Enlisted Personnel, at maging sa iba pang mga personnel, napaka-importante na ibigay natin ang buong dedikasyon sa pagtatrabaho. Sabi nga nila, ‘we need the hearts and
minds of our people.’ Kaya’t magtulung-tulong tayo upang makamit natin ang ating vision.”
This was the reflection that Master Sergeant RAMON B CABEGUIN
PN(M) shared during the closing of the first leg of the 2015 PN Sail Plan
Caravan – an initiative that provides the avenue to strengthen commitment of PN personnel to the Sail Plan by enhancing their knowledge and skill in
implementing initiatives under the transformation roadmap. The first Leg of the 2015 Sail Plan Caravan was held last 25-27 August 2015 at Headquarters Naval Forces Southern Luzon (NFSL), Rawis, Legazpi City.
43
The Caravan aims to motivate each sailor, marine, reservist, and civilian personnel of the Navy to Think Good Governance, Think Transformation, and
Think Sail Plan by integrating three main activities: Governance Coaching for the senior leaders; Sail Plan Alignment with the Sail Plan officers and key
managers and implementers of Sail Plan initiatives; and Sail Plan Info Drive for all members of the PN units.
To date, the PN has conducted a total of three (3) legs, to include the
NFSL, the Headquarters Philippine Navy and Headquarters Support Group (HPN & HSG), and the Naval Reserve Command (NRC).
4. PN Governance Forum Series
Complementing the abovementioned governance programs, the PN took the initiative to open the minds of its men and women to the best practices
in leadership and governance from the different sectors of our society. This effort was realized through the PN Governance Forum (PNGF) Series.
44
The PN Governance Forum Series has the overarching theme of Best
Practices in Leadership that Lead to Good Governance. Now on its seventh year and is set under the theme “Pursuing Transformation, Innovation, and
Excellence.” It showcases topics that range from pertinent issues on security
and globalization to basics of naval leadership and values – all to keep the men and women of the Navy abreast to the evolving security landscape and firmly
anchored to their sworn duty to defend and protect our seas and people.
5. Sail Plan Boot Camp
The Sail Plan Officers play a crucial role in the implementation of the Sail Plan. Therefore, it is an imperative that they have the competence as well as
the motivation in performing their role as managers of the Sail Plan initiatives of their respective unit. To address this, the PN has launched its first ever Sail Plan Boot Camp last April 2015. Set under the theme “Unleashing the Hero in
You,” the Boot Camp provided the Sail Plan Officers of the Navy with the right mindset, knowledge, and tools to effectively manage the Navy’s developmental
strategy, the PN Strategic Sail Plan 2020. They strengthened not only their capacities but also, and more importantly, their heart and commitment to transformation and good governance.
45
6. Strategy Communication
As part of managing the change and in order to get everyone onboard
the Sail Plan, the importance of effective communication of the Sail Plan within and even outside the Navy cannot be overemphasized. Gains must be regularly communicated in order to sustain the momentum of implementation and boost
the commitment of Navy personnel to the Sail Plan. Likewise, it is important to keep everybody updated regarding changes and updates on the components
of the Sail Plan. To address these, the Navy employs various media and avenues.
Sail Plan Books
The publication of two volumes of the Sail Plan has also helped the PN in communicating its strategy to its personnel. The first volume, published in 2006, outlines the general aspirations of the sail plan while the second,
published last 2014, serves as a technical guide on the Sail Plan Management Process.
46
Sail Plan as part of PME and TI&Es
Professional Military Education (PME)
courses provide a fast, effective and cost-efficient way to
communicate and cascade the Sail Plan to
every Navy personnel. In 2009, the Navy, through its Naval
Education and Training Command and the
Philippine Fleet, made the Sail Plan and the
Balanced Scorecard
System a part of the Management Module of two very important Commissioned Officer Career Courses of the Navy: the Naval Command and Staff Course, and
the Command-at-Sea Fleet-up Course respectively. Currently, steps have been taken to formally include the Sail Plan in the curriculum of all PME Courses not only for commissioned officers, but also for non-commissioned officers who
form the majority of the personnel in the Navy. At the end of each course, every Navy personnel undergoing training or schooling has to submit his/her
Individual Balanced Scorecard (BSC) in order for him/her to graduate. The Sail Plan is also included in the Troop Information and Education
(TI&E) of offices and units of the Navy to ensure that all personnel are updated on the development under the Sail Plan. The TI&E is a weekly two- to three-
hour session among the personnel of an office where they can discuss various subjects in order to enrich their knowledge.
Publications and Other Media
The Navy regularly publishes updates and information about the Sail Plan through its official publication, the monthly Rough Deck Log. Videos on
the Navy and the Sail Plan have also been released, as well as brochures and other collaterals. Coffee Table Books and customized calendars of the Navy also feature the Sail Plan. And with the growing power of social media, the
Navy has put up the official Facebook Fan Page of the Sail Plan in order to reach a wider audience among the Navy’s internal and external stakeholders.
47
Picture of the Future Art Competition
This 2015, the PN conducted its first ever Picture of the Future Art Competition. The Picture of the Future is a nationwide competition that
highlighted the different facets of the Navy by 2020 in relation to its role as the guardian of the Philippine archipelagic waters. Composed of two categories namely: painting (external stakeholders) and digital art (PN personnel), it aims
to increase the awareness and, subsequently, appreciation of each PN personnel to the significant achievements and milestones of the PN Sail Plan.
At the same time, it intends to increase our stakeholders’ awareness to the Navy’s role for lasting peace, progress and national development. Through this contest, the Navy uncovered talents and creativity while stimulating critical
thinking. Overall, the Navy received 30 entries coming from as far as Davao, Cebu and La Union.
48
E. ACCOMPLISHMENTS: VALIDATION FROM EXTERNAL STAKEHOLDERS
The transformation and performance excellence exhibited by the PN have gained for the organization the admiration of its stakeholders, as well as
the trust to the PN’s integrity in fulfilling its commitments.
In 2011, then Flag Officer in Command, Vice Admiral Alexander P Pama
AFP(Ret), received the Bulung Pulungan Manila Forum Exemplar Award for “setting a clear direction where the PN is headed as set forth in the PN Strategic
Sail Plan with a vision of having a strong and credible Navy...” In 2014, the PN became the first in the entire defense sector to receive
the PGS Institutionalized Status and the Gold Trailblazer Award for Good Governance. This accomplishment is a solid affirmation that the PN has
successfully institutionalized the strong foundation of good governance in its organization.
49
In 2015, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints awarded the PN with Family Values Award in recognition of the many programs [it] instituted that
promotes the importance of marriage and family values.”
51
BREAKTHROUGH COMMITMENT # 1: SENTINEL OF THE SEA
“Increase the number of linked and functional Maritime Situational Awareness Platforms (MSAP) from 21 in 2013 to 31 by 2015.”
To be a Strong Sentinel of the Sea, the PN made the commitment to increase
its Maritime Situational Awareness (MSA) capability. Doing so will support more informed, effective, and dynamic conduct of territorial defense and security operations,
allowing the Navy to be a stronger pillar of national development by performing its role and encouraging convergence in promoting a secured maritime environment.
When the IGG initiative was first launched in March 2013, the PN committed to increase the number of Maritime Situational Awareness Platforms (MSAPs) from 21
to 31. Since then, the PN expedited its efforts to ensure that the commitment is achieved. To date, the PN has a total of 36 MSAPs, which is composed of different
categories such as Littoral Observatory Stations (LOS), Littoral Monitoring
Detachments (LMDs), Mobile Observatory Vessel (MOV), and Mobile Observatory Aircrafts (MOAs), exceeding its initial target of 31.

Total 36
Believing that one cannot combat what one cannot see, maritime situational
awareness becomes a crucial component in protecting the maritime interests of our
country. The effective integration of the PN’s constabulary and military roles, which
relies on the ability to know and assess the activities occurring in the five (5) domains
(sea, undersea, air, land and cyberspace) is at the heart of MSA. It builds a strong
foundation for Maritime Operations as it provides the critical information when needed
before appropriate and timely response can be deployed.
52
As MSA is a prerequisite for
Maritime Operations, the potency of
the latter is dependent on the
effectiveness of the former. It facilitates
the correct discernment of the tangible
and intangible security challenges
affecting the archipelago, thus allowing
once to craft the appropriate strategy
and capability to address an
adversary’s “center of gravity” and
protect one’s own at all levels of
conflict.
The strategic objective of MSA
is to ensure effective maritime
information support in order to facilitate
effective division making for maritime
operations and support to national and
regional cooperation for maritime
security, development and
governance.
In order to accomplish this
objective, the PN strengthens its initiative on building and sustaining the capabilities
of MSAPs, which are the main sources of MSA.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Through its enhanced MSAS capability, the PN is able to conduct informed naval and maritime operations. These contributes to a stronger defense of our
territory and a more secured maritime environment that is conducive to local and international trade. It likewise promotes a secured environment where our local fisherfolk and other maritime stakeholders can pursue livelihood and activities at
sea.
At the same time, the MSAS allow the PN to strengthen maritime cooperation among agencies in the country as well as those of our regional partners. Such synergy harnesses the strengths of these agencies, providing for an avenue to
collaborate and sustain the protection of our maritime interests.
Below are the specific accomplishments of the PN MSAS.
A. Support to Territorial Defense Operations
Since its inception in 2011, different LOS have reported a total of 324 instances of foreign vessel sightings in Bajo de Masinloc and Kalayaan Island Group (KIG). Up until now, the LOS have continuously been monitoring foreign vessel
movements in key areas in the West Philippine Sea.
These WPS reports by PN MSAS helped when the Philippines submitted its memorial to the Arbitral Tribunal that is hearing the case it brought against the People’s Republic of China under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the
Sea in January 2013.

B. Support to Secured Maritime Environment
Maritime situational awareness was enhanced as result of the PN MSAS. From
01 January 2010 to June 2015, the PN through the MRIC monitored and ensured the security and safe voyage of 314, 856 vessels that have transitted in the country’s critical Sea Lines of Communication (SLOCS). This basically composed the
baseline data of vessels monitored passing in our archipelago.

C. Saving Lives and Properties at Sea
From 2010 up to present, the PN MSAS have been instrumental in approximately 50 search and rescue operations which resulted to roughly 1,500
persons and 50 watercrafts successfully rescued. It can be noted that the main effort of the MSACs and LOS was timely monitoring of these incidents and coordinating
with the Naval Forces or the nearest station of the Philippine Coast Guard.

eleven (11) persons onboard ML PRINCESS JOA
One of the major search and rescue operations involving the MSAC and LOS was the search and rescue of the Malaysian flagged Barge “Hub 18” in the West Philippine Sea. The inter-agency collaboration among RECAAP, PN ILO to RSN-
IFC, the PN and other local maritime agencies led to the successful rescue of the ill-fated barge. Intelligence fusion in the regional level and the vital role played by
the PNMSAS has proven effective in maritime search and rescue operations. It has been proven that immediate response from any individual or agency decreases the loss of lives and damage to property. This is manifested in the successful search
and rescue operations conducted by the different MSACs and LOS.

E. Linkage with Maritime Stakeholders
MRIC has been instrumental in establishing a robust linkage with the following maritime stakeholders:
Philippine Coast Guard, and Philippine National Police-Maritime Group;
Fishing Companies;
PLO / BCOs: Manado, Marore, Miangas & Tarakan, NGOs/ISAC;
Regional: Singapore, Bahrain
LGUs
F. Info-sharing with other Agencies
One of the MRIC’s way of enhancing inter-agency cooperation and
collaboration is through the conduct of an inter-agency information sharing seminar.
62
As a result, an inter-agency website was conceptualized and crafted last December 2010. The website, which is designed to facilitate paperless and
seamless exchange of maritime information, was launched last 28 Jan 2011 with the Secretary of National Defense, Hon. Voltaire T. Gazmin, then Flag Officer in
Command,PN, Alexander P Pama, and other maritime partners gracing the event. In September 2015, the PN with the National Coastwatch Center held the
National Coast Watch System Inter-Agency Information Sharing Seminar participated by the different agencies and office/department of the municipality of
Surigao including representatives from the Philippine Ports Authority (PPA), Philippine Coast Guard (PCG), PNP Maritime Group, Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (LDRRMO), and Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic
Resources (BFAR).
G. Info-sharing through Regional Partnership
The MRIC has also established connectivity with International Fusion Center
(IFC) in Singapore through ASEAN Information Sharing Portal (AIP), and United States Pacific Command through CENTRIX and APIIN thus enhancing information sharing through regional partnership.

BREAKTHROUGH COMMITMENT # 2: STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE
“Increase the number of ISO-certified PN units and offices from four (4) in
2013 to ten (10) by 2015.”
In the Organization Perspective of the Sail Plan, the PN
highlighted the need to have a strong organizational structure and synchronized systems and processes in order to effectively execute its mission and
proficiently respond to the changing needs of its stakeholders. One of the primary initiatives of the PN under this perspective is
for its units’ processes to be accredited with ISO 9001:2008 Quali ty Management System (QMS) Certification given by the International
Organization for Standardization. This directly acts upon PN’s objective to have a Dynamic and Responsive Naval Organization.
BENCHMARK

To date, the Navy has 14 units and offices that have ISO-certified processes – a strong testament of its continued commitment to deliver excellent service to support its naval and maritime operations that will ultimately
strengthen the defense and protection of our territory and sovereignty.
64
It was in January 2012 when the PN Finance Center (PNFC) was awarded with the said certification, making it the first unit in the Armed Forces of the Philippines and
the Defense Department to obtain ISO Certification. Three (3) more PN units – the Naval Education & Training Command (NETC), the Office of the Naval Adjutant
(OTNA), and the Navy Personnel Management Center (NPMC) – simultaneously underwent the same certification process after PNFC.
Six (6) more units followed suit in 2013, increasing the adherence of the PN to Quality Management principles set forth in the ISO 9001:2008 Certification.
While the PN has essentially reached its target of 10 units with ISO-certified processes in 2013, it pursued its objective of sustaining a dynamic and responsive
naval organization by identifying other processes that should adopt Quali ty Management principles. Thus, in 2014, four (4) additional units underwent the
certification.
The PN is now on the phase of sustaining these certifications. In order to maximize the benefits of this initiative, the units are now on the process of cascading
their Quality Management Systems to other units and offices which use the same process. This ensures that quality is maintained in the entire PN organization, regardless of the location.
65
Impact on PN Organization and Stakeholders
To be a “Standard of Excellence” means that the PN’s support systems and processes are at par with global standards and responsive to the needs of its
stakeholders. This entails adherence to quality management principles, validated by the ISO 9001:2008 Certification. This is also in compliance to Executive Order No. 605, Institutionalizing the Structure, Mechanisms and Standards to Implement the
Government Quality Management Program, Amending for the Purpose Administrative Order No. 161, S. 2006. By having its processes ISO 9001:2008-certified, the PN is
able to identify gaps and redundancy as well as areas for improvement of its support services that are crucial to sustaining its naval and maritime operations, namely: human resource management, training, logistics, finance, hospital administration, and
maintenance and repair. Likewise, by institutionalizing the quality management system, the PN is able to synchronize these individual processes to deliver maximum
and excellent results for its internal stakeholders, and consequently, its external stakeholders, primarily the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) Unified Commands.
Since the PN started enhancing its processes using the ISO 9001:2008 model in 2011, it has enhanced the efficiency of these processes that resulted to savings in
terms of financial resources, time, and man-hours.
66
A. Increased Morale through Customer Satisfaction
Morale among the recipients of the services increased because of faster, better quality services provided to them, such as processing of payroll and
clearances, and repair and maintenance of ships and other assets. For instance, patients of Cavite Naval Hospital (CNH) are very satisfied
with the Health Care Services provided to PN personnel, civilian employees and other stakeholders. Out of 829 respondents, more than 70% rated the CNH
very satisfactory for 1st Semester 2015. Records of complaints on delay of services of the Naval Logistics Center (NLC) have also significantly reduced.
B. Cost-Savings for the PN
Process inefficiencies are a leading cause for losses on resources. Through the ISO certification, the PN was able to address these inefficiencies,
resulting to savings not only on its resources entrusted by the public, but also on man-hours of its personnel.
For instance, in the case of the Office of the Naval Adjutant (OTNA), the
Centralized Clearance System transfers the processing of clearance and
monitoring of cases from 11 clearance-issuing offices to the OTNA. Whereas in the past, PN personnel would need at least five days to process all these
clearances required for promotion, re-enlistment, and other purpose, not to include money for transportation. T oday, they only need a minimum of one (1) day to acquire all the clearances required.

The PNFC marked a total of 34% reduction in the cost of check issuance by requiring PN personnel, including their allottees, to shift to ATM mode of
payment of pay and allowances.

Amount (PhP) 10,679,713.98 8,398,055.40 19,077,769.38
Through the conduct of payroll cleansing of PNFC, the PN was also able
to recover overpayment from unauthorized payment to PN personnel amounting to Php 34,178,322.27 from 2014 to 2015. C. Improved Performance of Units with ISO Certification
Conforming to the standards of quality management system, the units of
the PN have also marked a significant increase in their performance. Services are now delivered in a timely manner, and performance targets are also being
accomplished, if not exceeded. For the Philippine Navy Finance Center (PNFC), Finance Service Units
are now strictly observing the prescribed two (2) days validation period of claims. For NLC, the processing of request and issuance of supplies to PN units are now on time.
In addition, the PNFC has also started using the Financial Data Entry
System or FINDES, in partnership with the Land Bank of the Philippines. Findes is an improved version of DOS-based Payroll Crediting System (PACS) to a Windows-based system. The system also provides validation of individual
accounts of personnel from the PN IPMS payroll against the existing data base of LBP, thereby capturing all invalid accounts that requires corrective actions
prior payment/disbursement. The new system has the following advantages:
1. Minimal logistical items (click) such as cd (compact disc) or usb and
print outs. Previously, the PNFC was utilizing two(2) boxes of floppy discs and multi-pages of credit payrolls every month;
2. Support various printer modules; 3. Improved security features; 4. Users administration function (user friendly); and
5. Can be restored to all types of storage media (CD, USB, external drive, etc)
68
PNFC also launched the Pay and Allowance Inquiry Kiosk. It is an in-
house project development of the Center that can respond to the overwhelming inquiries of PN personnel regarding their pay and allowances, loan
ammortizations and contributions to government and non-governments agencies. The said inquiry system can be securely accessed by PN personnel and can outrightly answer the inquiries with regards to their earnings and
deductions.
In the case of the Navy Personnel Management Center, performance targets on recruitment, promotion, and retention of personnel are now accomplished 100%.
D. Best Practice Sharing with other Agencies
These benefits of the ISO certification on the PN and its personnel also
triggered the desire for other agencies in the AFP to also adopt the ISO 9001:2008 QMS. Last October 2015, the GHQ AFP through the Office of
Strategic Studies and Strategy Management (OSSSM) held a best practice sharing on ISO certification with the PN through the Naval Safety Office (NSO).
BREAKTHROUGH COMMITMENT # 3: BASTION OF INNOVATION
“Fully operationalize three (3) PN Research and Development units and office by
2015.”
As a modernizing force, research and technology are vital for the PN. Even as
it is only on the phase of catching up to the advances in technology, the PN envisions
to become a Bastion of Innovation and improve its organizational capability to manage, execute and sustain operations through the full-operationalization of its Research and
Development office and units namely the Office of the Naval Strategic Studies (ONSS), the Fleet-Marine Warfare Center (FMWC), and the Naval Research and Technology Development Center (NRTDC).
69
These offices and units were newly activated or reactivated in 2012 in order to provide the needed strategic studies and guidance to the PN, given the changing
maritime environment and to fill-in the gap in the PN’s capability needs in terms of technology and doctrines, among others.
The ONSS conducts environmental scans and assessments of the strategic space, identifying current and emerging key security challenges. The NRTDC develops the means, which is the technology needed to address these security
challenges. While the FMWC develops doctrines and concepts as well as scenario-based plans. The synergy among these three units and offices will produce strategy-
driven, doctrines-based capabilities, allowing the PN to attain an optimal level of
operational readiness.

As of October 2015, all three PN research and development (R&D) office and units are fully operational with an OPREVAL rating of Mission-capable. Accomplishments
To become a fully-established R&D unit or office takes time. Within the short period that these entities were reactivated, they were all able to substantially contribute in the capability development of the Navy through the production of regular strategic
reports, review of relevant doctrines, conduct of multilateral and bilateral exercises, review and validation of various doctrines, and proposals of various technological
innovations for the Navy.
The following summarizes the accomplishments of these three entities:
A. Naval Research and Technology Development Center
1. Naval Research and Development Strategy 2014 to 2020
Linked to the PN Strategic Sail Plan 2020, this work serves as the developmental
strategy of NRTDC in order to become a fully-mission capable Research and
Development Unit. Through this strategy, NRTDC aims to become a strategy driven
organization by providing the needed technology that will address the PN’s capability
gaps as determined in the organization’s capability plan. The institutionalization of the
NRDS 2014-2020 is NRTDC’s major contribution to mainstream good governance in the Navy’s Defense Acquisition System.
71
2. Institutionalizing Quality Management Systems
To further cement the elements of good governance in NRTDC’s organizational systems, it obtained its ISO 9000:2009 certification in January 2015.
3. Publication: Benchmarking Foreign Research and Development Organizations
for Developing Comparative Advantage
NRTDC’s groundbreaking initiative of benchmarking with the experiences and good
practices of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) – South Africa, and
the Armaments Corporation of South Africa, SOC, Ltd. (ARMSCOR) Research and
Development Department to benchmark standards of comparative and competitive advantage among defense R&D organizations.
4. Establishment of the NRTDC Triad
Its purpose is to manage and sustain a strong and multi-disciplinary R&D capability in order to enhance NRTDCs capacity to conduct of directed, relevant and quality R&D.
5. Collaboration with Local Defense Industry
As sustainability of defense modernization depends largely on capacity of a strong
local defense industry, NRTDC has embarked on forging collaborations with REGULUS
Space Tech, Inc; Pobletech, Inc.; Manila Observatory; and the Society of Naval architects and Marine Engineers (SONAME).
72
6. Capability Development and Policy Formulation
NRTDC conducted a Conference and Workshop on Cyber Defence and Security
and Radars and EW. It likewise led the formulation of a National Policy for Space
Technology Development and Utilization. It also provided POL and Paints Testing
Evaluation for Effective Technology Management.

formulated. These include the formulation of the Fundamentals for Force Level
Training, and the future plans for the Active Archipelagic Defense Strategy (AADS).
3. Improvement of PN Operations
The unit developed the six (6) Year Exercise Plan to align naval exercises with the
PN Strategy; developed a METL-based Exercise Evaluation System, which emphasized
the Mission Essential Task of the participating unit; organized a Red Cell, which addressed
the PN strategic objective of a Responsive Naval Reservist program; and conducted

As the Navy continues to sail towards its vision, it ensures that its Institutionalization in the PGS Pathway and the conferral of the Island of Good
Governance go beyond the accomplishment in paper.
Through the best practices, lessons learned, and recommendations from the Institute for Solidarity in Asia, and various representatives from its stakeholders who joined the navy in its transformation journey, the Navy will continue to improve its Sail
Plan and three IGG Commitments.
A. Enhancement and improvement of the Islands of Good Governance Breakthrough Goals
The PN will continuously improve the processes and systems involved
in the three PN IGG Commitments. For the Sentinel of the Sea, the Navy will upgrade the Littoral Observatory Stations and Littoral Monitory Detachments in terms of personnel, training, materiel and capability. The Navy will further
endeavor to strengthen its partnerships with other government agencies and non-government organizations for an integrated, efficient and effective conduct
of situational awareness in the seas. For Standard of Excellence, the Navy will ensure that it shall reap the full
benefits of the 14 ISO Certified Units and Offices through cascading the ISO Certified processes to all relevant PN units and offices. This 2015, the Naval
Safety Office and the Center for Naval Leadership and Excellence started institutionalizing the cascading process as part of governance mechanism.
79
Lastly, as a Bastion of Innovation, the three Research and Development units and office will be further integrated for a holistic approach on studies and
research. They shall work in synchrony on increasing the absorptive capacity of the Navy for current and future defense technology, strategic assessment
and planning, and force integration and training.
B. Ensuring the responsiveness of the PN Sail Plan 2020
Five years away from the vision year, the Navy will never falter to ensure that
its organizational development strategy—the PN Strategic Sail Plan 2020—is up-to-
date and responsive to the demands of the ever changing environment. To do this,
the Navy will continue the conduct the Annual PN Sail Plan Review, where the
organization is able the assess the responsiveness and relevance of the
objectives, measures and initiatives to the needs of the organization and its
people; evaluate the performance and progress of the organization in all the
strategic perspectives and determine the action plans needed to be undertaken
in order to address these the issues, and to continuously align to higher
headquarters strategies.
C. Alignment with DND and AFP Transformation Roadmaps
As a second-level unit of the AFP and third-level unit of DND, the PN will continue to ensure that the thrusts of the Sail Plan are aligned and fully-
supportive of the aspirations and initiatives of the AFPTR and DND PDTR 2028, respectively. With the AFP approaching its first base camp in 2016, the PN will hold another strategy review to assess the points of alignment it has to make
to the new basecamps of the AFPTR.
