    1.

    Discuss the following principles of Local Chief Executive in the Local Government
    Unit and its sociological relevance in the Philippine Bureaucracy. Cite at least one
    example to justify your answer.

    a. The Principle of give & take as experienced in the bureaucracy.


     As it was always been said, “No man is an island”, same goes with the
    Bureaucracy. Give and take relationship is always shown in the Government.
    National Government has a share of the income (Taxes) collected in the local
    government units and in return gives IRA (Internal Revenue Allocation) to the
    LGUs and supports projects funded by national line agencies.

    b. The Principle of reciprocity in the Government Service.


     Reciprocity is the cooperative exchange of favours and privileges. An
    employee of the government is to be paid for the services he/she rendered in the
    government service. Do your duties and responsibilities to the citizens of this
    country and you get paid for until retirement wherein you can get your pension.

    c. The Principle of Prejudication & Discrimination in our system of


    government.
     Biases and discrimination naturally exist in this world, so as in the
    system of government. This is shown when government office favors some
    individual because of influence or because they are a family. For instance, some
    cases of nepotism were reported where government projects are granted to
    contractors because of their influence in the office concern. I have also heard
    some government offices dealing with clients unfairly when they favor clients
    with presentable appearance (rich) over the less fortunate (poor).

    d. The Principle of Social Stratification & Mobilization under the current


    and previous administration.
     Appointed officials under the previous administration were mostly from
    the elites or from the families that we so called “traditional politicians”. Familiar
    names occupied the different positions in the government. In the present
    administration, the government is extending its effort to go down to the lowest
    echelon of the society by hearing the complaints and sentiments of the
    constituents for instance the hotline 8888 that entertains complaints against
    government offices.

    2. Discuss the following terms:

     Local Autonomy- It simply means that the Local Government has the
    authority to run its own affairs. It is the exercise of certain basic powers for
    example police power, power of eminent domain, and taxing power,
    by local government units so as to best serve the interest and promote the
    general well-being of their inhabitants

     Deconcentration - The process whereby the central/ national government


    transfers some of its responsibilities to lower-level units within its jurisdiction.
    In here, the responsibilities of taking care the issues and concerns of the
    lower levels or units of the society example barangays were left to the Local
    Government Units.
     Debureaucratization - It is a form of decentralization which involves the
    transfer of powers and functions from the government to non- government
    organizations (NGO's) and people's organization (PO's), including the private
    sector, all of which are sometimes referred to collectively as the “civil society”.

     Decentralization - the transfer of authority and responsibility for public


    functions from the central government to subordinate or quasi-independent
    government organizations. Types of decentralization include political,
    administrative, fiscal, and market decentralization.

     Program Planning – Program planning is the process by which a program is


    conceived and brought to fruition. Program planning involves multiple steps
    including the identification of a program, selection of desired outcomes,
    assessment of available resources, implementation, and evaluation of the
    program.

     Program Implementation- It is simply when the planned program was put


    into action and becomes a reality to benefit the constituents.

     Program Monitoring - the regular observation and recording of activities


    taking place in a project or programme. It is a process of routinely gathering
    information on all aspects of the project. To monitor is to check on
    how project activities are progressing. It is a systematic and purposeful
    observation.

     Program Evaluation - is a systematic method for collecting, analyzing, and


    using information to answer questions about projects, policies and programs,
    particularly about their effectiveness and efficiency.
