Contrary to any myth or propaganda, no single person, party or political affiliation has the monopoly on that thing called “governance.”
It’s a big word. The Affiliated Network for Social Accountability in East Asia and the Pacific defines good governance as “a way of decision-making and implementation that aims to achieve desirable and beneficial results for both those who govern and are being governed.”
From Aug. 30 to Sept. 1 an assortment of booths, fora, performances and all around goodwill took place at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City for the Galing Pook Governance Fair, aptly called “Mamamayan mamamayani”—Citizens will Prevail.
