PNGF 7th Leg
underscores capacity-building A s part of its cam-
paign to increase
Team Navy’s knowl-
edge on its enterprise strategy,
the Philippine Navy (PN) fea-
tured the first Strategic Per-
spective of the Sail Plan, the
Personnel Perspective, during
the 7th Leg of its Governance
Forum Series held last 06 Sep-
tember 2012 at the HPN Multi-
Purpose Hall, Headquarters
Philippine Navy, Roxas Boule-
vard, Manila.
Dr. Benito L. Teehankee,
Chairman of the Manage-
ment and Organization De-
partment of the De La Salle
University Ramon V. Del
Rosario College of Business,
graced the Forum as its guest
speaker on the topic
“Capacity-Building for Good
Governance.”
In his talk, Dr. Teehankee
emphasized the importance
of building a strong organiza-
tional foundation based on its
people. He focused on several
concepts that are vital on the
Sail Plan’s first strategic objec-
tive “highly competent and
motivated professionals.”
The first part of the discus-
sion dwelled on the critical
role of the organization’s core
values. If individual members
are aligned to these values,
they will have a strong com-
mitment to the organization’s
direction defined by its vision.
He highlighted that leaders
shape and reinforce these
values by the way they spend
their time, by the questions
they ask, by the behaviors and
outputs that they reward and
their reaction to critical inci-
dents.
He then moved to discuss
what good public govern-
ance is and how it creates
value to the society. Not only
does it entail effective delivery
of services, good governance
also means that organizations
look after the welfare of their
members. Organizations
should give importance to
developing their people into
professionals who have both
the required competence
and the desired character.
Doing so will in turn affect the
development of a portion of
the society to which their
members belong.
Ethical education and
principle-based moral devel-
opment are key areas that
need to be developed in the
character of professionals.
These are also the areas which
the PN should work on if it aims
to build a firm foundation of
professionals who are not only
competent but motivated
and effective as well.
Dr. Teehankee’s discus-
sion brought a new perspec-
tive to the link between good
governance and capacity-
building. This validate PN’s
initiatives in putting premium
to people development. The
PN ensures that its sailors, ma-
rines and civilian employees
become effective members,
not only of the Navy, but the
larger Philippine society as
well. These professionals make
up the strong Navy that can
effectively fulfill its mission – an
accomplishment that will
eventually earn the trust and
admiration of the Navy’s
stakeholders and our maritime
nation. (MCC)
PN joins ISA Public Governance Forum
The Philippine Navy (PN)
participated in the September
2012 Public Governance Fo-
rum of the Institute for Solidar-
ity in Asia (ISA) held last 26
September 2012 at the Philip-
pine International Convention
Center, Pasay City.
With the theme “Big
Ideas, Big Ideals,” this event is
part of the continuing efforts
of the ISA, in partnership with
the National Competitiveness
Council, the International Pri-
vate Enterprise, and the Insti-
tute of Corporate Directors, to
showcase public and private
sector initiatives in moving the
country forward towards de-
velopment. It is also a venue
where the Performance Gov-
ernance System (PGS) part-
ners present the governance
progress reports of their re-
spective organizations in the
PGS pathway. The PGS is a
localized adaptation of the
Balanced Scorecard in public
governance. It is a globally-
recognized (back page)
Sail Plan Update
With the result of the inten-
sive assessment on the exe-
cution of our roadmap con-
ducted during the first se-
mester of CY 2012, the PN
Sail Plan will undergo a Re-
fresh which aims to revisit the current measures, tar-
gets, and strategic initiatives
of the PN in order to make it
attuned with the current
environment and emerging
strategic issues facing the
PN.
Moreover, through this
Refresh, new defense plan-ning and resource manage-
ment guidelines and na-
tional government policies
will be integrated with the
current plans of the PN to
make the organization more
responsive to its mandate.
In preparation for this Re-fresh, a series of Focus
Group Discussions (FGDs)
and Subject Matter Experts
(SMEs) Consultations is being
held with SMEs within and
outside the PN to gather
valuable information and
ideas on strategy manage-
ment and organizational development.

Former Senator and Philip-
pine Navy (PN) Board of Advis-
ers (BoA) Vice Chairperson
Leticia Ramos-Shahani and
environmental advocate and
BoA member Atty. Antonio
Oposa, joined a roster of
speakers during this year’s
TEDx Diliman with the theme
“The Future. Here. Now. Seize
it” held last 15 September 2012
at the Malcolm Theatre, Uni-
versity of the Philippines Col-
lege of Law.
Hon. Shahani talked
about “Our Future as a Mari-
time Power.” Her talk empha-
sized that the Philippines, be-
cause of its strategic location,
is endowed with a vast
amount of explored and unex-
plored marine resources. She
explained that geography is
our destiny. She reminded the
audience that it is the Philip-
pine delegation, led by the
late Senator Arturo Tolentino,
who coined the “archipelagic
PN BoA members grace TEDx Diliman doctrine” in the United Nations
Convention on the Law of the
Seas (UNCLOS). She later pro-
moted the cause of the PN,
stating that it has started its
journey to become strong and
credible through the PN Sail
Plan. She later stated that the
country may be “lagging be-
hind in terms of military capa-
bility or technology, but our
interests and resources as a
maritime nation are worth
defending.” As Filipinos, all
sectors must cooperate; and
as an archipelagic nation, we
should know what is our own
and how to defend it.
Atty. Oposa lively en-
gaged his audience in his talk
“The Future of Floods.” He em-
phasized the reality of rising
sea-levels. He likewise por-
trayed floods as both a bless-
ing and a curse. Floods may
have destroyed lives, but these
events provide “an opportu-
nity to revive cooperation and
to bring bayanihan back to
life.” Because of the recent
flooding that our country has
experienced, Atty. Oposa
believes that the time for talk is
over and, as Filipinos, we
should begin to act now. At
the end of his speech, he
asked the audience to pledge
that they will take care of the
environment and make a dif-
ference.
