AT this year’s Dream Philippines Fair, 300 government leaders and civil society influencers from around the country gathered to celebrate the best and the brightest work in public sector governance. Hosted by the Institute for Solidarity in Asia (ISA) and co-presented by the National Competitiveness Council (NCC) for the second year in a row, the event’s highlight was the recognition of nine institutions for empowering their communities through governance. These institutions represented the sectors of local government, infrastructure and transportation, peace and security, education, and health.
