Building A National Legacy
₱700.00 + 12% VATFrom one of the most highly decorated individuals championing good governance, Dr. Jess Estanislao developed a guidebook based on President Benigno S. Aquino III’s inaugural speech and first State-of-the-Nation address where government agencies can follow suit in using the Performance Governance System in transforming their organizations into efficient and responsive institutions which greatly contribute to making a united and progressive nation.
Â
THIS BOOK is very empowering on many counts and at both the ground and national levels.
In one piece, Dr. Jesus P. Estanislao gives a refresher on a roadmap to the making of a united and progressive nation (Philippines 2030).
For President Benigno S. Aquino III, Dr. Estanislao uses again the Performance Governance System in drafting a six-year roadmap based on Mr. Aquino’s own inaugural speech and first State-of-the-Nation address.
As the book shows, it is only President Aquino who is steering a wave of changes in the anti-corruption front. National government agencies (NGAs) are doing this too, as can be read in the second part. Imagine the extent of reforms in government if all NGAs were on board the same ship! The roadmap of the first 12 NGAs can be templates, or at best springboards, for other NGAs that want to venture on the same path.
Obviously, Dr. Estanislao gives a great deal of respect and importance to local government units (LGUs) and their big roles in nation-building. He and the Institute for Solidarity in Asia saw the good changes unfold in the course of aiding LGUS adopt and implement PGS in the last seven years. Yes, several mayors have truly transformed LGUs into efficient and responsive organizations for their constituents. The how-to’s of doing the PGS are in the book’s this part.
This, truly, is a guidebook. the best one there is in the new period of nation-building.

Guideposts for Governance
₱700.00 + 12% VATDr. Jesus Estanislao, founder of ISA and one of the country’s notable authorities on good governance, offers essential advice on the importance of knowing how to govern oneself before one can govern others. Personal governance is key to successful governance and having these fundamental values will help one become a leader with integrity, fairness, courage, and orderliness.
Â
In his latest book, Dr. Jesus P. Estanislao reminds the reader of the need for good governance even at the level of civic groups, corporations, institutions, and local government units. Indeed, he points out, before any group can be properly and effectively governed for the common good of its members, the individual – the basic unit of any group – must know how to govern himself.
The term governance is often used in a more limited sense than it actually signifies. In fact. governance applies not only to the highest level of a nation’s government.
Personal governance, therefore, is key to the successful governance of any group of persons, from the smallest organization to national governments and even international organizations.
To ensure good governance, Dr. Estanislao recommends the creation and nurturing of a unique culture at the personal, organizational, and national levels – a culture driven by four indispensable core values: integrity, fairness, courage, and orderliness.
In Guideposts for Governance, the author shows us why these fundamental values are essential to good governance.

It Can Be Done
₱1,000.00 + 12% VATThe case studies in this book engage with classic issues of design and implementation, prompting us to think deeply about the transformative power of governance and how to harness it affect change.
Â
After years of pushing for reforms in various national- and local-level government institutions, the Institute for Solidarity in Asia (ISA) has witnessed firsthand the transformative power of governance as a positive complement to the massive sharing success stories from our experience to help advance the speed and scale of reforms in the Philippine public sector, as well as to plant the seeds of change in neighboring countries where growth is still stifled by corrupt and inefficient government practices.
We want to affect a change in public mindset in the Philippines, where government as a whole is viewed as unwilling to take steps toward lasting reforms or even as indifferent to the interests of the people. Our true and concrete stories of success can stand as proof that there are public sector institutions that have been able to transform themselves to serve as models of governance for many others. Moreover, these 12 inspiring stories of governance identify people participation as key to real change and therefore hold every Filipino citizen to a higher standard.
