Bayan Muna Rep. Neri Colmenares on judicial reform

"Judicial reform for me is best described as efforts both in policy and action towards eliminating obstacles towards the effective, efficient and equitable access of the people to justice. As a human rights lawyer and considering that I have a bias in favor of the people, judicial reforms should focus in allowing this kind of access to the poor and the marginalized sectors and public interest issues. I agree with a paper on judicial reform in Latin America that judicial reform must delve into reforming its important elements such as the independence of the judiciary (appointment and disciplinary reform), access (including cost, legal aid, gender issues, and procedural and substantive aspects of the judicial system), efficiency (unclogging court dockets, and alternative dispute resolution which is also an element of access) and of course resources (not just autonomy of the budget but its sufficiency as well). In the Philippines, no judicial reform can be undertaken without including steps to address corruption (both in the judiciary and the legal practitioners in courts). Furthermore, effective access also includes not just the legal education of judges but of lawyers as well for their effective representation of clients, most especially the poor. Ensuring that law schools equip students with the receptiveness to judicial reform and public interest issues also play a role in legal system reform in general and in judicial reform in particular. I do not wish to exclude the elimination of cultural barriers to effective access to the judiciary in any efforts at judicial reform. Notice that the list of elements is not exhaustive, as judicial reform in one country could vary in terms of thrust from another. Of course, I do not believe that genuine and thoroughgoing judicial reform can be achieved without political and economic reforms as these factors normally, and inherently, make access to justice difficult if not impossible for the marginalized and the poor."

Dr. Ed Villegas on equity

"Ang equity at growth ay kailangang magkasabay ngunit mas mahalaga ang equity.
Halimbawa may GNP na 7.5% ngunit wala namang pagbabago ang buhay ng 60% na nasa ibaba at nakinabang lamang ang 40% sa itaas.
Hindi ito katanggap-tanggap kung ikukumpara sa GNP na 4.5% lamang ngunit ang mas nakinabang ay 60% sa ibaba kaysa sa 40% sa itaas." -Dr. Ed Villegas

  - Atty. Ismael Khan
  Former SC speokesperson
  
  
  
• "In policy and practice, governance should protect and promote the fundamental interests of the majority."
  - Prof. Fatima Castillo
  UP Professor of Politics and Society
  
  
  
• "Good governance is people's governance based not on dictatorship of and by any single group but on the collective's own, free and enlightened choice, no matter how diverse. The ultimate test is to empower each one and set them free the moment the guide is no longer needed. The governed have discovered the "Mutya" (or their own Inner Teacher and can explore their own creativity)."
  - Prof. Grace Devora
  UP Professor of Humanities
  
  
  
• "Good governance is observing competence, meritocracy in civil service, decisiveness, political will to pursue state initiatives, building culture of efficiency, practicing transparency of transaction, clear accountability, participative, observing synergy with civil society and stakeholders."
  - Prof. Erle Frayne Argonza
  Professor of Sociology and Development Studies

Tagubilin para sa human ecology AVP (DS 127)

• Ibigay ang sulat (humingi ng kopya nito kay Chariss Garcia) at isama ang tala ng mga tanong (na aprubado ko na) sa inyong kakapanayamin bago ang araw ng panayam.
  
• Tiyaking magiging malinaw ang rehistro ng boses at maayos ang anggulo ng kuha, maging ang pipiliing lugar para hindi makaagaw ng atensyon ang ingay at background. Tiyaking kumportable rin dito ang kakapanayamin. Gamitin ang mga natutunan sa Kom III ukol sa wastong paraan ng panayam. Bukod dito ay magbasa-basa rin para sa dagdag kaalaman.
  
• Ang AVP ay kailangang magsimula sa introduksyon ng paksa at pagpapakilala sa kinapanayam (voice over). Tapusin ito sa paglalagom at pasasalamat (acknowledgement).
• Hindi kailangan isama ang buong panayam sa AVP. Isama lamang ang mga mahahalagang bahagi na makasasapat upang makabuo ng kritikal na diskurso. Tandaan na dapat tumagal lamang sa 15-20 minuto ang buong AVP.
  
• Tiyaking tama ang pagbabaybay ng subtitle ng panayam.
  
• I-save ang file sa format na kapwa mapapanood sa pangkaraniwang DVD player at laptop.
• Magpatulong sa mga bihasa sa teknolohiya para hindi maging mabigat at magastos ang gawaing ito.
  
• Maaaring magbigay ng simpleng token of appreciation sa inyong resource speaker. Magpasalamat sa pagpapaunlak at ambag niya sa ating edukasyon.
  
• Ipasa ang AVP na naglalaman ng titulo nito, pangalan ng inyong kinapanayam at mga myembro ng grupo (printed).
• Pagbutihin dahil ipapapanood din ito sa klase at sa iba pang mga mag-aaral sa CAS. Maaari ring humingi ng personal na kopya ang inyong kinapanayam.
  
• Bukod sa ginawang paghahanda para sa pagbalangkas ng tanong, iminumungkahi kong ipagpatuloy ng bawat grupo ang pagbabasa ukol sa paksa ng kanilang panayam. Paghahanda ninyo rin ito para sa Q&A sa klase sa araw ng pagpapanood ninyo ng inyong AVP. Sa akin at sa isa pang propesor manggagaling ang mga tanong.
