PGS is a good governance mechanism that translates vision into specific strategy, strategy into actions, and actions into results. During my time at ISA, I had seen the transformative power of good governance. Among the early LGUs which partnered with ISA were Naga City (Mayor Jessie Robredo), Marikina City (Mayor Marides Fernando), and Calbayog City (Mayor Mel Sarmiento). Among its recent success stories are Balanga City (Mayor Joet Garcia), Butuan City (Mayor Ferdinand Amante), Dipolog City (Mayor Evelyn Uy) and San Fernando City, La Union (Mayor Mary Jane Ortega). To realize our Dream Philippines, we need leaders to believe in the importance of good governance, in strengthening our public institutions.
