Q2: Galing Pook and Good Governance

A) How did the concept of Good Governance occur in your galing pook case?

The galing pook case I have chosen is the SARAGANI case wherein it took take a look at the programs in Sarangani Province. We all know how good governance is all about one major aim: GOODNESS in the society. Good governance was indeed very apparent in my galing pook case in Sarangani. Saragani is located in Mindanao whereas war is present everywhere. Saragani has all the means to be able to function as a good community and the only thing that is holding them in is the incident of war that happened to them last 2008 and ruined their life. This galing pook case aims to show how the people of Saragani struggled to make their way

His aim was to identify the root of social injustics and epathy around the corner. Sarangani was in a bad stage wherein they had no roads, no water, everyone was unhealthy especially the youth and their biggest problem was kidnap and gun shoots where rampant.

The first move was that they establish Peace and Development Trainings as to resolve the conflict between various tribes. It’s aim was to make the people embrace peace and love for their community.

Next up, they educated the muslims with their quoran because they believed that if the muslims understood by heart their roots then they can be well-informed citizens who function for the betterment of the society.

Education was one of the major priorities of this case. Parent mentoring also happened whereas they educated every parent upon how important it is that they give effort and time to make sure that their children gets good education. Since sarangani has no roads, not everyone could make it to school. A dorm was made because the schools were really far so not everyone was could really travel that far to study so the dorm built was of big help because students could now live near their

Justice was anothing main focus in the Sarangani case so their were SPPs (SPECIAL PROJECT WITH PARTNER) and COPS (culture of peace trainings). COPS produced barangay justice advocates to resolve community conflicts so that these conflicts need to not be bigger at that. There were too many people in jail, in fact, it carried too much people that is why not everyone was given the chance to have a court hearing. Because of this, they made the Justice and Enhancement empowerment program which catered a bus called the “justice on wheels” which had a volunteer judge who was more than willing to cater to the needs of the prisoners needing to seek justice.

At the end of the day, this case aims nothing but betterment in the society. Good governance was very clear in this situation because the widespread of programs which seeked nothing but peace, justice, innovation and betterment was on the upperhand.

B. In your opinion what are the elements of success in your galing pook case? Are these elements related to good

Despite the fact that these characteristics are very delicate when alone, but when mixed together, these ordinary, everyday occurring events of life come together to form a pure and all the more powerful “JUST SOCIETY.” "I've always dreamt of a society where each person should be able to fulfill himself to the extent of his capabilities as a human being, a society where inhibitions to equality would be eradicated. This means providing individual freedoms, and equality of opportunity, health, and education, and I conceive of politics as a series of decisions to create this society." - Pierre Elliot Trudeau Pierre Trudeau is known as one of the greatest political figures in Canadian history.…

It’s when mercy is least expected that it’s most potent – strong enough to break the cycle of victimization and victimhood, retribution and suffering” (294).
