CAMP
PERALTA, Jamindan, Capiz – The Army’s 3rd Infantry (Spearhead)
Division was chosen as the venue of the impact audit for the Institutionalization
of the Philippine Army Transformation Roadmap.
On
October 3, 2014, third party auditors commissioned by the Institute for
Solidarity in Asia (ISA) facilitated a one day evaluation process through a
series of Focused Group Discussions (FGD) and interviews with the Philippine
Army’s internal and external stakeholders
.
The
discussion which was held at Hotel Del Rio in Iloilo City focused on the actual
merits of the accomplishments of the Army in the perspective of its identified
constituents in the area of the 3rd Infantry Division.
Representatives
from key sectors of society in Western Visayas attended the FGD and shared
their experiences on how they were affected by the Philippine Army operations
in their respective communities, and the impact of the Philippine Army
transformation program.
External
stakeholder group was composed of representatives from various sectors such as
the local government unit, local government agency, business, religious,
medical, legal professionals, youth, the academe, former rebels and the media;
while the internal stakeholder group was composed of the different units of the
AFP and other law enforcement agencies in Western Visayas such as the Philippine
Air Force, Philippine Navy, Philippine National Police, Philippine Coast Guard
and a representative from the CAFGU Active Auxiliaries (CAA).
Colonel
Tyne Bañas, head of the Army Governance and Strategy Management Office (AGSMO),
Philippine Army said, “The Philippine Army is currently vying for the
Institutionalization Status in the Performance Governance System Pathway of the
Institute for Solidarity in Asia. The
auditors will look into the presence of breakthrough results within the
Philippine Army and if the culture of good governance is being realized by
every individual in order to be a more capable, responsive, reliable and
professional organization committed to its mandate of serving the people,
securing the land.”
Meanwhile,
the 3ID had attained the “INITIATED” Status – the first of the four stages of
the Performance Governance System Pathway towards having the Army
Transformation Roadmap completely INSTITUTIONALIZED.
The
3ID received the Army Governance Pathway (AGP) recognition of “INITIATED”
Status last June 13, 2014 at the Headquarters, Philippine Army in Metro Manila
for its demonstrated commitment to pursue genuine transformation and reform as
manifested by its exemplary progress in governance and strategy management.
One
of the 3ID Transformation Roadmap early gains is the cascading workshops
conducted last March and July 2014 to its subordinate units to ensure ownership
by the entire Division of its transformation initiatives. The Unit Performance
Governance Scorecard was also validated last June 28, 2014.
Major
General Rey Leonardo Guerrero, Commander of 3ID said “We are confident that by
working closely with both our internal and external stakeholders, we can attain
our goal of transforming the Army in an institution that can truly be a source
of national pride for all Filipinos.”
