Lesson: State and Non-state Institutions
What’s In
Recall in the previous lessons that society is composed of various cultural,
social and political institutions. We consider the family being the basic unit of society.
However, societies around the world differ in the way they view the family primarily in
the way kinship is established. Likewise, you learned in the previous lessons the
different political and leadership structures adopted by both primitive and modern
societies.
Answer the next activity to review the lesson on political and leadership
structures.

What Is It
The lesson in this module will expand your learning of the different cultural,
social political institutions operating within our society through the inclusion of state
and non-state institutions.
State Institutions
Donisthorpe (1889) has identified the functions of a state as ranging from
administration of justice, the maintenance of order, the defense of the country against
external threat, and the collection and management of revenue for these purposes.
He also recognizes the idea that the state can carry out noble means of improving the
quality of life of its citizens. For instance, the state can allocate more budget to disaster
mitigation projects to lessen the impact of calamities especially to poor communities.
State institutions are those endorsed and supported by the government using
public funds collected from exercising its power to tax. There are different institutions
created within the state and are primarily concern with the welfare and interest of the
whole community.
Since a state has a government that manages its affairs, state institutions are
also referred to as government institutions or public institutions.
8
Government Agencies
Government agencies are organizations created for the administration of
specific functions. Here are some of the specific functions and the government
agencies created for such.
Non-state institutions
Non-state institutions are those owned by private individuals. Their concern is
mostly that of individual welfare or that of a group of individuals.
1. Banks
9
Banks are financial institutions playing a great role in the economic growth of a
nation. Banks serve as intermediaries between those with excess funds and those
who need funds. Banks accept deposits from individuals who view these as their
savings or investments. Meanwhile, businesspeople go to banks to borrow money to
grow their business.
While majority of banks in the country are privately owned, there are few which
are owned by the state. Apart from performing specialized functions, these
government-owned banks serve as depository of the state from which payment of
salaries of public officials and other expenditures are drawn.
Government Banks
• Land Bank of the Philippines
• Development Bank of the
Philippines
• United Coconut Planters Bank
• Al-Amanah Islamic Investment
Bank of the Philippines
2. Corporations
The Corporation Code of the Philippines define a corporation as an artificial
being created by operation of law, having the right of succession and the powers,
attributes and properties expressly authorized by law or incident to its existence.
Corporations are organizations created by people known as shareholders or
stockholders. A corporation is an artificial person created by operation of law. It takes
a personality that is distinct and separate from the shareholders or stockholders.
Having an artificial personality means that a corporation is accorded certain rights and
privileges similar to that of a natural person such as owning property in its name and
having the right to sue and be sued.
A corporation can be established for profit or non-profit purposes. The
majority of corporations you see around you were created for profit objectives. The
businesses you see at the town proper selling variety of goods and services are mostly
owned and operated by corporations. The non-profit ones were created for
educational, religious or charitable purposes. Examples of this are schools,
orphanages and home for the aged and the homeless.
Corporations contribute to the development of economic activities through
efficient and effective production and distribution of goods and services.
3. Cooperatives
10
The Cooperative Development Authority (CDA) defines cooperative as an
autonomous and duly registered association of persons, with a common bond of
interest, who have voluntarily joined together to achieve their social, economic and
cultural needs and aspirations by making equitable contributions to the capital
required, patronizing their products and services and accepting a fair share of risks
and benefits of the undertaking in accordance with the universally accepted
cooperative principles.
A cooperative is an enterprise established by members who contribute money
to a common fund called share capital. Members are joint owners of the cooperative.
The members are also the primary clients of the cooperative as they should be the
first to patronize the products and services of their cooperative. At the end of the year,
the profit of the cooperative is distributed equitably among its members depending on
their capital. What are the common services of a cooperative? In farming communities,
a farmer’s cooperative is established to assist farmers plant, harvest, process and sell
their products by providing needed machinery and infrastructure. In cities, we
commonly see credit cooperatives. Here, loans for productive and providential
purposes are extended to members.
Cooperatives are very similar to corporations in almost all aspects. Membership
in both are voluntary. Both organizations require members or shareholders to
contribute money known as their share capital. The amount contributed is basically
the basis for profit distribution in an equitable manner.
Both organizations has a Board of Directors in charge of policymaking. They
are elected by popular votes of all the members. The difference lies in the way
members the Board of Directors are elected. For cooperatives, one member is entitled
to one vote only regardless of capital contribution. Meanwhile, for corporations, the
number of votes is proportionate to the number of shares a member has.
While corporations are created either for profit or non-profit objectives,
cooperatives are for profit only.
4. Trade Unions
Trade unions, labor unions or labor organizations are groups of workers within
a particular workplace. Their aim is to advance the interest of their members or the
workers in general. They negotiate with management or their employer for favorable
benefits such as fair wage, additional benefits and good working condition among
others. Trade unions are common in large companies employing hundreds of
employees.
11
There is one advocacy group operating in 55 countries. The group challenges
governments and corporations to take actions in safeguarding the environment. While
another advocacy group reports and publishes corruption perception index and gives
recommendation to heads of countries for them to take actions.
6. Development agencies
Development agencies are non-profit entities established to foster the
cooperation between the public sector, the private sector and civil society towards
sustainable development.
Development agencies work mostly in depressed and underdeveloped areas
or regions in the country. For development works to be successful, there must be an
engagement of the whole community and local resources are utilized.
One private development agency in the Philippines partners with homeless
people in the building and construction of their houses.
7. International organizations
Mingst defined an international organization as an institution drawing
membership from at least three states, having activities in several states, and whose
members are held together by a formal agreement or a treaty.
International organizations serve many diverse functions, including collecting
information and monitoring trends, delivering services and aid (e.g., the World Health
Organization), and providing forums for bargaining (e.g., the Association of South East
Asian Countries ASEAN) and settling disputes (e.g., the World Trade Organization).
Our country has been a member of several international organizations such as
the United Nations (UN), the ASEAN, the World Trade Organizations and the Asia
Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) to name a few.
