Discuss the five steps of policy cycle in the Philippines

The policy cycle of the Philippines takes five steps, namely: agenda-setting; policy

formulation; legislation; implementation; and monitoring.

AGENDA SETTING. It is when the board reviews the previous year's performance, evaluates

developing challenges and concerns locally and internationally, and considers any shifts

in the current administration's policy agenda.

POLICY FORMULATION. It is at this time that the board develops policies in areas such as

education, health and nutrition, social welfare, housing, investment, and infrastructure

development. The Department of Budget and Management determines and reviews the

corresponding budget as part of the process. The result is a "proposed National Budget"

that is sent to Congress for consideration.

LEGISLATION. It is when the House of Representatives (House of Representatives) debates

the proposed National Budget in three (3) readings. After that, they present the proposed

National Budget to the Senate for consideration, which is divided into three (3) readings.

The proposed National Budget is then forwarded to the President's Office for approval

after being endorsed by both houses. When the President signs it, or if the President

fails to act on it within 30 days of receiving it, it becomes law. If the President vetoes the

budget proposal in its entirety or in part, it will be sent back to both houses for

reconsideration. The President's veto power can be overruled by a two-thirds vote in

both chambers; otherwise, the President's proposed amendments will become effective.

The same procedure is used when a bill is passed for certain policies or programs.

Essentially, the executive branch proposes policies or plans to the legislative branch.

IMPLEMENTATION. It is the time when the implementation of the aforementioned policies and

programs is delegated to various government departments such as the Department of

Education (DepED), Department of Health (DOH), Department of Tourism (DOT),


Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), Department of Agrarian Reform

(DAR), Department of Agriculture (DA), National Housing Authority (NHA), Philippine

National Police (PNP), and so on.

MONITORING. It is when the NEDA Board works closely with the implementing agencies to

obtain feedback to use as a basis for evaluating current programs and as a benchmark

for future policy improvement.

2. Discuss the instances to increase the probability of achieving the main objective in

policy implementation

Effective planning, smart planning, and design of the policy from the policy itself are

examples of ways to increase the probability of attaining the main objective in policy

implementation. Clear and consistent policy objectives are required. There is also a

transparent institutional framework in place, as well as top-level consent. Consultations with

all stakeholders in the public and private sectors, policy consistency and continuity, and the

formulation of realistic targets and milestones backed up by resources. Solid economic

fundamentals, strong implementation and monitoring mechanisms, and successful public

service delivery political stability are also important.

3. Is graft and corruption committed in the government an indication of a poor policy-

making process? Explain.

Corruption is exacerbated by lawlessness or a weak rule of law at the federal level.

When the legal system fails to establish punishments for officials who engage in corruption,

the likelihood of corruption increasing. High levels of corruption are linked to political

instability and poor policymaking. Lack of stability during the transition to a newly elected

government is linked to bribery and corruption in the public sector. In particular, in some
countries, such as the Philippines, partisan administration and a poor policy-making process

can be the source of graft and corruption.
