GCG Chairperson Justice Quiroz: GOCCs, Aim G.R.E.A.T.!
GCG Chairperson Justice Alex L. Quiroz (ret.) outlines the Governance Commission’s mantra for the GOCCs under its scope—Aim G.R.E.A.T!
G stands for Good Governance wherein existing onerous contracts as well as contracts to be entered into by the GOCCs are reviewed by the GCG to prevent corruption. R is for Rightsizing wherein stakeholder concerns are appropriately addressed by the GOCCs and redundant positions are examined to avoid unnecessary expenses on the government’s part. E for efficiency where GOCCs are encouraged to provide better service and A for accountability for all GOCCs to monitor and safeguard each corporation’s assets. Lastly, T is for transparency wherein a digitalized integrated corporate reporting system is utilized for the easy analysis of the financial state, viability, and fiscal discipline of all GOCCs to gain public trust.
The Governance Commission is the central advisory, oversight, and monitoring body for GOCCs.

GCG SUPPORTS CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION THROUGH CCET 2024
The Governance Commission enjoins the GOCC Sector to participate in concretizing efforts to combat Climate Change at the Annual National Climate Change Expenditure Tagging (CCET) Orientation dated 07 March 2023, spearheaded by the Climate Change Commission (CCC).
The CCET has supported several projects under the government geared towards climate change resiliency included Water Sufficiency Projects, Sustainable Energy and Food Security, and Flood Management Program, and a National Greening Program in the past year.
This 2023, the CCET orientation aims to support President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s 8-point socio-economic agenda and implement climate change provisions in the Philippine Development Plan 2023-2028.
“We can only imagine how the Philippines will transform as several projects will enhance the capacity and resilience of communities and ecosystems to natural hazards and climate change,” Commissioner Gideon D.V. Mortel said during his opening remarks as special guest speaker.
“Allotting a budget to projects geared towards climate-oriented objectives will yield positive repercussions. Through the CCET, we become hopeful in seeing a country that can withstand torrents of typhoons, survive unexpected energy and water shortages, and overcome price inflation of food supply,” Commissioner Mortel added.
A noteworthy development in the orientation for this year is the linking of Climate Change initiatives to Gender and Development (GAD) Advocacies. The Governance Commission will support initiatives that will ensure meaningful participation of women and men in the development of climate tagged Programs and Projects (PAPs), Gender Analysis and Collection of Sex Disaggregated Data, and promotion of the GAD Guidelines Checklist for GAD attributions in climate-tagged PAPS.
The GCG will continue to be CCC’s staunch ally in projects that promote climate change mitigation and adaption.
The Governance Commission remains steadfast in its mandate as the central advisory, oversight, and monitoring body for GOCCs, to institutionalize transparency, accountability, financial viability, and responsiveness in corporate governance by monitoring and evaluating the performance of GOCCs.

The Governance Commission initiated a dialogue with the Clark Development Corporation (CDC) management and union workers on 09 February 2023 to discuss their concerns related to the implementation of the Compensation and Position Classification System (CPCS) under Executive Order (E.O.) No. 150.

GCG COMMENCES 2023 PERFORMANCE TARGET CONFERENCES FOR GOCCS
On 24 January 2023, the Governance Commission for GOCCs (GCG) signed the respective 2023 Performance Scorecard of the Landbank of the Philippines (LBP) and the UCPB Savings Bank (UCPB-SB) at the GCG office, launching the start of the 2023 Performance Target Conferences (PTCs) between GCG and the GOCC Sector.
Prior to the conference, a consultative meeting was convened between the technical panels representing the GCG and the respective GOCCs to discuss the strategic measures and targets in the Performance Scorecard. During this meeting, the supervising agency or parent company of the GOCC was present to provide further inputs and insights to the discussion.
“The GOCCs must be G.R.E.A.T,” urged GCG Chairperson Justice Alex L. Quiroz.
“Good Governance, Responsiveness, Efficiency, Accountability, and Transparency are some of the keywords that the GOCCs should keep in mind while setting their targets and strategizing on how to achieve them,” Chairperson Justice Quiroz added.
Republic Act No. 10149, otherwise known as the “GOCC Governance Act of 2011”, mandates the Governance Commission to actively exercise the State’s ownership rights through the institutionalization of a Performance Evaluation System (PES).
The PES sets the process of appraising the accomplishments of GOCCs in a given fiscal year based on set performance criteria, targets, and weights using the Performance Scorecard as the primary governance and management tool to facilitate the achievement of breakthrough results by the GOCC.
The achievement of such targets determines the grant of the Performance Based Bonus and Performance Based Incentive; determines whether the Appointive Director is eligible for reappointment; ascertains whether the GOCC should be reorganized, merged, streamlined, abolished or privatized; and determines whether a special audit of GOCC is necessary.
As always, the GCG remains steadfast in its mandate as the central advisory, oversight, and monitoring body for GOCCs, to institutionalize transparency, accountability, financial viability and responsiveness in corporate performance by monitoring and evaluating GOCCs’ performance.

GCG ADDRESSES CDC WORKERS' CPCS CONCERNS
Photo Caption: The Governance Commission for GOCCs (GCG) meets with the Clark Development Authority (CDC) management to discuss pertinent issues regarding the Compensation and Position Classification System (CPCS) this January.
The Governance Commission for GOCCs (GCG) assures an amicable resolution to the issues raised in line with the implementation of the Compensation and Position Classification System (CPCS).
Reiterating its steadfast commitment of staying true to its mandate, the GCG established the CPCS as an intervention to increase the salary of government workers under its scope, making it at par with the private sector. This is in line with Executive Order No. 150[1] (E.O. No. 150) issued by Former President Rodrigo R. Duterte, which intends to curtail the practices done in the past which led to the dissipation and wastage of government funds.
E.O. No. 150 also aims to preserve government funds which the GCG has done since its inception. In fact, in the 11 years of the Governance Commission’s existence, the government corporate assets now stand at P10.820 Trillion by end of 2021 posting an annual average growth of 8% within the ten-year period.
Recently, Clark Development Corporation (CDC) expressed their disfavor of their approved CPCS and cited the disparity of salary increase and the loss of their Allowances, Benefits, and Incentives (ABIs).
GCG is actively participating in discussions with GOCCs to resolve the issue. As of this writing, GCG already held consultative meetings with GOCCs including CDC, to hear their concerns, including those related to compensation. GCG met with CDC officials and invited representatives from the retirees on the 4th and 12th of January 2023 to discuss and give opportunity to amicably resolve the issues.
In the exercise of due diligence, all requests and appeals are prudently reviewed and evaluated by the Governance Commission.
The CPCS was mandated by the GOCC Governance Act of 2011 to provide fair and impartial wages in accordance with the principle of equal pay for work of equal value. Following this mandate, the salary structure crafted under the CPCS is at par with the rates under the Salary Standardization Law (SSL), which modified the salary for civilian personnel in government and authorized the grant of additional benefits. The SSL was also crafted to be comparable with the private sector.
In addition, salary rates in the private sector (i.e., market rate) were used for the progression or the creation of steps in the salary structure towards the maximum possible salary rate. As such, the pay for the positions in GOCCs is to be commensurable with the private sector and parallel with the National Government Agencies.
While CDC finds E.O. 150 unfavorable to them, it must be noted that the limitations on the list of ABIs in E.O. 150 is intended to preserve government funds. In fact, CDC may still go to OP to appeal ABIs and other compensation that are not included in the approved CPCS (Section 5, E.O. 150).
As always, the GCG remains steadfast in its mandate to provide a standardized compensation package and Index of Occupational Services, Position Titles and Salary Grades for GOCCs in accordance with Sections 8 and 9 of Republic Act (R.A.) No. 10149. The Governance Commission, as stewards of the sector, will continue to safeguard its P10 Trillion in total assets and prevent the dissipation and wastage of public funds arising from corruption.
