Mere good governance is not enough; it has to be pro-people and pro-active.

Good governance is
putting people at the center of development process.

Ladies and gentlemen, Good morning! I am Christine Joy Balobalo, a third year exchange student from
University of Mindanao Tagum College to Universitas Bhayangkara Jakarta Raya, Indonesia. This topic is
corporate government implementation.

Overview and history of the Philippine corporate governance

“Knowledge is knowledge only when the students do at their best on what they learn. “

So we need to remember that governance is actually a broad sense that involves about culture,
institutional alarment and as well as all those citizens and stakeholders which are very important part
this discourse.

Governance has been defined to structures and processes that are designed to ensure
ACCOUNTABILITY, TRANSPARENCY, RESPONSIVENESS, RULE OF LAW, STABILITY, EQUITY AND
INCLUSIVENESS, EMPOWERMENT AND BROAD BASED PARTICIPATION.

Governance also represents the norms, values and rules of the game through which public affairs are
managed in a manner that is transparent, participatory, inclusive and responsive. Governance therefore
can be subtle and may not be easily observable. In a broad sense, governance is about the culture and
institutional environment in which citizens and stakeholders interact among themselves and participate
in public affairs. It is more than the organs of the government. Furthermore, governance can be defined
as power relationship formal and informal processes of formulative policies and allocating resources
process of decision making and mechanism of holding government accountability.

So let me talk about governance. Governance is always defined as the one that encompasses the
system by which an organisation is controlled and operates, and the mechanisms by which it,
and its people, are held to account. Ethics, risk management, compliance and administration
are all elements of governance.

This factors I am speaking about that any sort of governance includes accountability and it is important.
You need to be accountable with ur action and to have its transparency because u need to ensure that
you inform your people. When you deliver a good governance, the people should know what the system
is doing that has to have transparency between the system and the people. To have a good governance,
you need to be responsive -- towards the demand, towards the questions, whici people are raising.
There has to be a rule of the law as governance have to uphold its integrity. The law should not depend
and should not be use for any selfish purpose. Next concept of governance, there has to be a stability.
Stability on your part, stability on the processes, and stability in the policy making. Because when you
are stable, then obviously you are in the position to deliver the promises unto the people. Equity and
inclusiveness is a must in the concept of good governance. No person should be deprived of life
regardless of his skin, race, ethnicity, etc because we are all equal. Empowerment is a great concept of
governance as you should empower your people. Governance should make people comfortable and
boost their confidence so that they will have a good back to the society. It talks about the broad
participation to the stakehilders. This is all about the concept of governance.

The evolution of governance

Voice over: now let’s talk about the EVOLUTION of governance.

Governance came about as society developed from a nomadic existence to a more settled
civilisation. As civilisations evolved, it became necessary for societies within civilisations to form
heirarchies for work.
The word ‘governance’ appears to have been used since the Middle Ages. When Chaucer wrote The
Canterbury Tales, the term was taken to mean “wise and responsible”. Historically, companies were
both ‘governed’ and controlled by owners who pursued their economic goals and were responsible
for the actions of their businesses. This is still the case in many organisations, especially small
enterprises and family businesses. However, the roles and responsibilities expected of directors and
owners is now different, even if this is not widely understood. The modern company evolved when,
for the first time, business enterprises were recognized as existing separately from their owners.
Businesses that sought this separate existence were said to have ‘incorporated’ and were referred to
as corporations. They became, in the eyes of the law, quasi-people. With the emergence of
incorporation came the concept of limited liability, that allowed companies to grow and assume risks
that a single individual would not be able to manage. With limited liability, owners could invest
capital in a company knowing that, at worst, they would lose their investments but not their others
assets. Monastic communities and trade guilds were among the earliest beneficiaries of this concept
of moving into business, secure in their knowledge that if their enterprise failed, they would not have
to personally make restitution for any unpaid debts.

Every day we’re inundated with news and issues competing for our attention. But sometimes we
have to step back and take a look at the grand sweep of the past. Maybe, then, we can get a better
idea about our emerging future. You see, humanity is on the cusp of another great transition. And we
can learn a lot by taking a look at the ones we’ve already been through. The following is a visual
overview of nine stages in the evolution of governance.
1. Clans Humans once lived in family groups as part of extended clans. These nomadic hunter-
gatherers roamed around to find resources. But as resources became scarce, clans had to find a better
way. (3 million years)
2. Kingdoms With agriculture, people settled. These settlements coincided with the appearance of
kings and taxation. Because the threat of invasion required swift, coordinated action, strong rulers
emerged capable of defending resources against “barbarians” and competing kingdoms. (10,000
years)
3. Empires Dominant kingdoms developed new tactics. To protect themselves and secure more
resources, they expanded through conquest and the suppression of people in new territories. A
hierarchy of governors managed the increasing complexity of the new empire. The thing about
empires: they eventually fall. (4,000 years)
4. Democracies There are limits to what can be achieved through coercion. A more participatory
system appeared in which power was given to the people in the form of votes. Democracy diluted the
absolute power of authorities but introduced demagoguery and “tyranny of the majority.” (3,000
years)
5. Republics As civilizations expanded, more decision-making power had to be delegated, and
political power became increasingly subordinated to laws. But delegating power, especially military
power, risked the return of empire. Would the rule of law be strong enough to ward off the rule of
men? (2,000 years)
6. Constitutional Republics
Combining features of democracy with features of a republic, nations began to separate powers and
set out basic rights through charter, subordinating more political power to the rule of law. But times
change, and power ends up on auction. A constitutional republic is a state where the chief
executive and representatives are elected, and the rules are set down in a written
constitution. The head of state and other representatives are elected but they do not have
uncontrolled power

(250 years) Now it looks like we’re pretty far into Stage Six… But what’s next?
7. Startup Nations In our future’s first phase, rules will likely still be attached to a territory but will
provide better governance options than otherwise available. As the world’s complexity increases,
we’ll see more entrepreneurial solutions—startup societies or contract-based private cities—less
dependent on monopoly states.
8. Cloud Governance Advanced technologies make it possible to make laws “in the cloud.” Here,
good rules can exist independent of territory and may or may not involve coercive hierarchies. Thus,
people will be able to select different forms of association from a menu of governance options,
without relocating.
9. Rules Without Rulers The future of human organization is likely to mean most rules will neither
attach to territory nor involve any power monopoly. Organizations are already pioneering hierarchy-
free governance systems. Might these work on a global scale? Such systems allow self-organization,
mimicking the natural world. Imagine teams within teams changing with circumstances, solving big
problems without violence.

Opportunities to provide insights

And that’s it for today. I hope you have learned something from me. Once again, I am Christine Joy

On my opinion, this includes the indivisibility as it states that all human rights have equal status and cannot
be positioned in a hierarchal order. Denial of their right invariably impedes the enjoyment of other
rights. the right of everyone to an adequate standard of living cannot be compromised at the expense of
other rights, such as the right to health or the right to education. It also implies interdependence and
interrelatedness because it does not mean that she is pregnant, she should be restricted from the right
to have a job.

on my opinion, I think the boss should give relief for pregnant women workers, don't just fire them
because they also have to fulfill their daily needs

in my opinion it is included in indivisibility because there are several company policies that do not want
to hire someone who is pregnant for fear of hindering work or making the company's performance
decrease just because someone is pregnant while working

I just added , the company cannot force a pregnant woman to resign,because basically the resignation
must be based on the will of the worker.The company may not enforce ruler that require employees to
resign because they are pregnant because this is contrary to the applicable laws and regulations.

In this situation, the principle of indivisibility can be applied because the right of everyone to an
adequate standard of living cannot be compromised at the expense of other rights, such as the right to
health or the right to education. The child still deserved to have a free education from the government
instead of working for their family.

Its discrimination because she is also looking for money to full his life and the child soon

It includes the principle of accountability and rule of law. Where they fail to do so, aggrieved
rightsholders are entitled to institute proceedings for appropriate redress before a competent court or
other adjudicator in accordance with the rules and procedures provided by law. Individuals, the media,
civil society and the international community play important roles in holding governments accountable
for their obligation to uphold human rights.
