ment regarding the budget

process. Among them are Line

ment” last 05 October 2012 at

the GT-Toyota Asian Cultural

pines Diliman, Quezon City.

The event was hosted by

the UP Asian Center as a result

of the White Paper earlier pro-

duced by the WPS EG. Members

of the group served as the main

discussants of the various as-

pects of the West Philippine Sea

issue.

Retired VADM Eduardo Ma

R. Santos, PN BoA Member and

former Flag Officer in Com-

mand, PN talked about the

“Defense and Law Enforcement

Issues.” Atty. Lauro Baja, former

Undersecretary of the Depart-

ment of Foreign Affairs (DFA)

presented the “Challenges to

Philippine Foreign Relations”

and Atty. Jay Batongbacal,

Professor at the UP College of

Law discussed the

“Management of the WPS Re-

sources and Environment.”

The forum was applauded

by the attendees, which include

students, members of the aca-

deme and Philippine media,

and officers of the PN and the

Philippine Coast Guard. Dr.

Carolyn I. Sobritchea, Dean of

the UP Asian Center, also com-

mended the activity as well as

Budgeting.

In closing, Director Canda

discussed the different principles

and strategies of the 2013

Budget and the five Key Result

Areas of the Social Contract

under Executive Order No. 43.

The Forum provided a com-

prehensive and in-depth look

on the framework and proc-

esses behind resource manage-

ment in our government. It im-

pressed the importance of a

good budget given the con-

straints of our modest resources.

Most importantly, the Forum

reinforced the importance of

the PN Sail Plan 2020, in driving

the management of our re-

sources in the PN. (MCC)
