gies of the Philippine govern-
ment regarding the budget
process. Among them are Line

pects of the West Philippine Sea
issue.

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)
