Governance of the Philippines: Trilogy Set (Hard copies with book case)
₱5,000.00 + 12% VATAVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER
In this series, the author, Dr. Jesus P. Estanislao, refracts each major colonial and transitional period of Philippine history into a transformation roadmap for each stage of our journey toward development. Each volume is a springboard to action for individuals and institutions working to achieve a shared vision: our Dream Philippines.
This series, written in Barcelona and Manila from 2018-2021, is a powerful look at Philippine history through the lens of modern governance. It aims to encourage a new generation of Filipinos to apply key learnings from each major colonial and transitional period and use these for the development of the Philippines and all Filipinos.
The first volume, Governance in the Philippines: Spanish Colonial Rule, 1565–1898, uncovers the roots of Philippine governance, politics, and economics and presents the perspectives of both the country’s Spanish conquerors and Filipino revolutionary leaders.
The second volume, Governance of the Philippines: the US Colonial Period, 1898–1946, examines the foundations of our modern democratic system and presents the parallels between the US colonial period and the present time.
The third and final volume, Governance of the Philippines: As a Republic, 1946–2021, takes us through two major reclamations of Philippine political freedom: our Declaration of Independence from the US in 1946; and the People Power Revolution in 1986—and inquires into whether we have already been able to achieve economic freedom.

Governance of the Philippines: As a Republic, 1946-2021
₱2,500.00 + 12% VATAVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER
The third and final volume of the series takes us through two major reclamations of Philippine political freedom: our Declaration of Independence from the US in 1946; and the People Power Revolution in 1986—and inquires into whether we have already been able to achieve economic freedom.
This year, amidst a pandemic that has vastly altered our lives, we commemorate the 75th year of our independence from the United States. Since that fateful day, July 4, 1946, when we celebrated our independence in the ruins of the Second World War, we have been on a long journey to ensure that our hard-won political and economic freedoms can deliver development for the Philippines and for all Filipinos.
In his third and final volume of his Governance of the Philippines series, Dr. Jesus P. Estanislao builds on the work of two previous volumes, Governance in the Philippines: Spanish Colonial Rule, 1565-1898; and Governance of the Philippines: American Colonial Rule, 1898-1946. He presents a true account of the past 75 years from the lens of governance, culling lessons and ideas from the past presidential inaugural addresses and drawing from the wisdom and experiences of governance advocates from the fields of economics, security, business, academia, and civil society.

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.
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.

Governance of the Philippines: The US colonial period, 1898-1946
₱1,250.00 + 12% VATThe second installment of the Philippine governance series sheds light on another era of our colonial past and examies the foundations of our modern democratic system and presents the parallels between the US colonial period and the present time.
In the advocacy for good governance—as in so many other fields—we absolutely need to learn from the past, in the hope that we can apply those lessons to the present, as we keep going and trying to build the long-term future. For Filipinos, this need is an imperative. Many of us have little acquaintance with governance, its principles, and its practices; moreover, our familiarity with the past, such as what we had to endure during the Spanish and American colonial periods of our history, is in many instances superficial and anecdotal.
A better appreciation of what we went through—from the governance perspective, during the two periods of our history when we were a colony, first under Spain, and then under the United States—can help inform, guide, and orient our current governance efforts towards building a “Dream Philippines” by 2040. This book has been written with a view towards presenting some governance lessons we can use in our advocacy for good governance and responsible citizenship, moving forward to 2040.

Designing Development
₱700.00 + 12% VATThere are many views on development that have been put forward over decades. Inevitably, they stress economic growth, which needs to be sustained over a long period such that it leads to structural change in the economy. Many of these views reflect the search for the magic bullet that can propel peoples and nations from a state of backwardness to one of prosperity within a few generations, preferably only one or two. They tend to focus on a few, if not on only one of key factors: e.g., education, population control, opening to the rest of the world through free trade, development of credit and capital markets, through a violent revolution the description of the old culture to give way to a new classless society, state planning, environmental protection, moral values and civic education, democracy, etc.
The call for focus on one or a few key factors has yielded fruits of economic and material advancement; however, there is ongoing argument on how good, bad or indifferent these fruits are for the beneficiaries of development.

Towards a National Culture of Excellence
₱700.00 + 12% VATThe dreams and aspirations of our people for development are far from being realized. For generations, we have sought genuine progress: one that is sustained and thereby one that brings welfare to everyone, including and particularly those who have less in life. Yet our hopes have been largely frustrated thus far, in part because of the values operative in our society.

Breaking Through
₱700.00 + 12% VATBreaking Through is the road map you need to utilize the resources of governance and properly navigate life’s challenges to achieve your goals.
NEEDED: A ROAD MAP. Why do we find it difficult to carry out our resolutions? We mean well when we make them. But as we go from day to day, attending to our many duties, we soon forget them or come to regard them as unrealistic.
In Breaking Through: The Road from Resolutions to Results, Jesus Estanislao, founding chairman of the Institute for Solidarity in Asia (ISA) and a Philippine Legion of Honor awardee, explains why and, crucially, shows how to use the resources of governance to achieve breakthrough results.
He writes: “We should all recognize that the pathway from resolutions to breakthrough results is lone one. It calls for our moving from talk only to action also: then for having actions guided by broad knowledge that realistically considers the challenges we face; and finally for reinforcing and reinvigorating our commitment to purposeful action by placing our heart in actively working and sacrificing for the common good for all.”
Breaking Through is a road map we need to navigate the road from resolutions to outstanding results.
