What’s In
Any state in the world formulates its own government agency to achieve the
needs of its people. However, in most democratic society, the state government allows
business individuals, corporations, and non-profit organizations to deliver goods and
services for the citizens (De Leon 2008).
A country can be associated with how a family functions; there are
authoritarian parents who determine the future of their children. Meanwhile, there
are lenient parents who allow their children to grow with minimum restrictions. In
general, parents must do necessary actions to feed the family, provide proper
clothing, send children to school, give a decent shelter, give medicine in times of
sickness, and save some budget or resources in case of emergency. Yet, no matter
how parents work to make both ends meet, there are always some issues left undone
(“The Philippines”).
On the contrary, family remains as a family no matter how imperfect they are.
They must help one another as a unit or an entity to avoid problems as much as
possible. They must utilize all resources to make possibilities to happen. Meanwhile,
children play a vital role in the family by being responsible and sensitive individuals
who do their own share, like turning off the lights or other appliances when not in
use, do some households chores, or apply for scholarship, for an instance, to ease
the burden of tuition fees, and the likes (Halili-Jao 2018).
The government is at its best in providing the necessity of its people by
allocating all its resources to meet the demands of its citizenry. However, like an
ordinary family, no matter how the government work to make both ends meet, there
is always some issues that needs to be worked upon (Panopio 1995).
On the other hand, non-state institutions are created to back up the
government in filling in the gap between the state and its people. In order to achieve
their mission, non-state institutions produce results that uplift the condition of the
people in general. Banks, corporations, trade unions, cooperatives, development
agencies, civil organizations and transnational advocacy group are created to lift the
condition of all sectors of the society (Baleña 2016).

What is It
(BACKGROUND) INSTITUTIONS
There are different models of social institutions used in different countries
nowadays, most of which are inspired by the long history of their country while others
are influenced by other nations. There are two major types of state or social
institutions: the communist, based on command economy; and the democracy,
based on capitalist economy (Panopio 1995).
Most communist countries, like the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republic
(USSR), and North Korea, are governed by their respective governments alone. They
do not allow private companies or individuals to do business in their land; thus, the
people have no opportunity to choose because the government decide what is best
for their own citizens (Panopio 1995).
NON-STATE INSTITUTIONS
Ideally, in a democratic country, major industries must be under the control
of the state, like banks, petroleum, transportation, and communication because they
are vital in the economy of the country. However, in the recent years, the said
industries are being sold to private entities to carry away the burden from its
operation and maintenance. Today, private corporations headed by executives
controls the major industries in the country with very minimum government
supervision, most of these are petroleum (Shell, Caltex and Petron),
telecommunication (Smart, Globe and PLDT), transportation (Cebu Pacific and
Philippine Air Lines), etc. These entities significantly affect the lives of the people
either directly or indirectly (Baleña 2016).
10
Moreover, if you wish to have a car but do not have the enough money to buy,
one can find a bank that offers car loan arrangements. If one wishes to own a
business but hesitant to fail, he or she may consider the stock market and be a
shareholder in a corporation. If a worker wants a better compensation, he or she may
join and be part of a trade union. These are just some examples of non-state
institutions: non-governmental organizations operating to satisfy many of our
short-term and long-term, small-scale and large-scale, and tangible and intangible
demands (De Leon 2008).
1. Banks help us keep our money, avail different kinds of loan, and exchange
currencies. The accumulated money of the bank is invested to some projects
to gain profit; this is how banks pay their workers and depositors’ interest
depending on the agreed terms.
Although there are state and non-state banks in the country, both types serve
their respective purposes. Yet, most depositors choose state banks because
the government itself backs it up, thus the possibility of bankruptcy is very
small. On the other hand, corporations or group of individuals manages non-
state banks. Although ensured by the government through the Bangko Sentral
ng Pilipinas, it is but only to a minimum extent. Like in the case of certain
banks, when a bank declares bankruptcy, each depositor could only receive
only a portion of their deposit (Contreras et al. 2016). Examples of banks
include the Bank of the Philippine Islands, Metrobank, and Rizal Commercial
Banking Corporation (RCBC).
3. Trade unions. There are some entrepreneurs who are only after for profit,
and they tend to maximize working hours and minimize wages as much as
possible. This is where the trade union steps in. They look after the well-being
11
of the workers. Collectively, they raise issues such as low salary, lack of
compensation, etc. to the management that sometimes ends up with work
“stoppage” or strike until the demands of both sides are met. (Contreras et al.
2016).
Trade unions are created to protect the labor force of the country. Workers are
essential to the creation of goods and services for the citizenry. In the
Philippines, the Trade Union Congress of the Philippines has the largest
membership.
4. Cooperatives are made up of people with common interest who agreed to work
together for easy, safe, and affordable access to commodities, loans, and other
services. They are created to help and empower one another with a minimum
help from the government (Contreras et al. 2016). Farmers’ cooperatives and
teachers’ cooperatives are common examples.
