The national budget is the most important economic policy instrument of government, reflecting its social and economic policy priorities more than any other document. For the past year, the International Center for Innovation, Transformation and Excellence in Governance (INCITEGov) in partnership with Management Systems International (MSI), La Salle Institute of Governance (LSIG) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has been actively involved in various activities to make the national budgeting process more transparent and accountable through the Philippine National Budget Monitoring Project. An important component of our work is to provide information and analysis to groups and individuals who are increasingly interested in budget reform work.
In this regard, we would like to invite you to the Public Forum on the FY 2009 Budget and the Power of the Purse on 13 July 2009, from 2:00 pm to 5:30 p.m. at the Isla 3 Function Room of the Edsa Shangri-la Manila, Ortigas, Mandaluyong City. We hope to provide an opportunity for budget reform advocates to come together and discuss the implications of the recently signed 2009 General Appropriations Act.
For confirmation and other queries, please contact Maroz or Rhoma at +63 2 634-1334 or +63 2 914-4059.

With the upcoming 2010 national elections being tagged by most sectors as a make-or-break year in setting the course for a new kind politics in the country, the International Center for Innovation, Transformation and Excellence in Governance (INCITEGov) recently tested its curriculum on Leadership for Democratic Politics and Good Governance.
The five (5)-day course is meant to help prepare young public servants - and even those already in government - who see work in government as a commitment to do change and reform. It aims to equip its participants with the skills and perspective that will help them and strengthen their capacity to undertake reforms using government resources and power.
Conducted from 25 to 29 May 2009 at the Astoria Plaza in Ortigas, the test run brought together nine (9) participants from the government, private, civil society sectors and academe to evaluate the Leadership for Democratic Politics and Good Governance curriculum content and teaching method.

Change Politics Movement (CPM)
Press Release, 11 May 2009
Demanding an end to Filipino politics-as-usual, citizens raised their voices yesterday in unprecedented internet-linked simultaneous assemblies in ten (10) areas across the country. One year before the May 2010 elections, core members of the newly formed Change Politics Movement (CPM) from more than 38 provinces and cities converged in Davao, Cagayan de Oro, Butuan, Ormoc, Borongan, Mandaue, Dumaguete, Iloilo, Naga and Quezon City, and were linked by live video-streaming and cellular phone calls into one concerted clamor for change politics. The assemblies also served to launch CPM, which now has 2,000 core members.
"We need to take back politics from corrupt politicians and make it the sacred covenant it is meant to be, between leaders and their constituencies," declared Dinky Soliman, one of the interim national convenors of CPM.
