Its members will include Dr Jesus Estanislao, Chairman of Institute for Solidarity in Asia; former Ambassador Lauro Baja; ASec Jennifer Oreta, Assistant Secretary for Policy of the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process; Dr Alfredo Pascual, President, University of the Philippines; Ambassador Cesar Bautista, Co-Chair, National Competitiveness Council; and Fr Jose M Cruz, Dean, Ateneo School of Social Sciences.
Taking part also are Bai Rohaniza Sumndad-Usman, Founder, Teach Peace-Build Peace; Prof Solita Collas-Monsod, Professor, University of the Philippines; Hon Mel Sarmiento, Representative, 1st District Western Samar; Dr Jose Ramon Albert, President, Philippine Statistical Association; Atty Avelino Cruz, former Secretary of National Defense; and Gina Lopez, Managing Director, ABS-CBN Foundation.
The MSGC is in line with the AFP Transformation Roadmap, a 15-year strategy geared towards capability development and professionalization. To implement the AFPTR, the AFP adopted the Performance Governance System, a local adaptation of Kaplan & Norton’s Balanced Scorecard.
