Of these, five were recognized as members of the 2016 Society of Associates, which honours young leaders from the public and private sector whose extraordinary leadership and innovative spirit have enabled public sector institutions to create impact through the Performance Governance System (PGS).
Prior to recognition, nominees were asked to write an ‘Innovating for Impact’ concept note and to present their innovations before interview panels, which included ISA Chair Francisco Duque, ISA CEO Alex Lacson, ISA Supervising Fellow Anneli Lontoc, and ISA Associates Ruel Rombaoa, Rommel Cordova, and Noel Baraceros.

Office for Strategy Management Head
Philippine Heart Center
Background: Dr. Juliet Balderas is the Office for Strategy Management (OSM) Head of the Philippine Heart Center (PHC) and has been instrumental in its transformation journey since it began using PGS in 2012. She spearheaded resource mobilization efforts to fund the organization’s reform initiatives and to build a grand auditorium to house governance advocacy-related events, and orchestrated the establishment of five (5) regional heart centers—a breakthrough that will make heart services more accessible to Filipinos in far-flung areas. Because of the social impact of this initiative, the institution was recognized among the Philippines’ first the Islands of Good Governance recognition in 2015.
Innovation: To share the importance of governance, specifically through PGS, with other government- owned hospitals, the Heart Center will host the forthcoming Governance in Healthcare Summit, a best practice sharing event that seeks to educate both government and private hospital administrators in clinical and hospital governance. Clinical governance deals with people empowerment, while hospital governance focuses on the internal structure and management of an organization.
