Good governance
Jul 26, 2010
TO PROMOTE the common good through the practice of good governance and responsible citizenship.
Thus goes the mission statement of the Movement for Principled Politics in Pampangan acronymed MP3, organized by concerned citizens with San Fernando Auxiliary Bishop Pablo Virgilio David, curate of the Holy Rosary church in Angeles City.
“[MP3] also seeks to counter the culture of patronage politics, the seeming apathy of citizens, the perceived incompetence of many in the bureaucracy, and the unethical and unlawful practices among public-power holders,” Among Ambo furthered.
Rather than frontally confrontational, the MP3, will “engage the government in a constructive manner.” This, he said, will be through closely monitoring government’s conduct and performance in its use of public resources in its delivery of services, uplift of community welfare, and protection of people’s rights.
The bishop identified the specific areas where MP3 will be most vigilant: environmental care and protection, infrastructure development, traffic management, and the processing of permits and licenses.
“Good governance is the path to achieve the common good through right decision-making processes, the end of which is desirable and beneficial to the people,” stressed Among Ambo, as he cited citizens and citizens’ groups as the driving forces for good governance.
“We believe that the aim of governance is to efficiently and effectively deliver services with preference to the marginalized by improving the people’s welfare and rights.” So articulated the bishop of MP3’s article of faith.
We are with you in this quest, Among.
