EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Inclusive Mobility Network Organizational Meeting held at Faber Hall Function Room, Ateneo de

Manila University Loyola Heights Quezon City last 4 February 2014, was attended by a total of 54

individuals coming from different sectors. Each represents a total of 24 various organizations. About

13% of the participants came from the community, 30% from the government (national and local), 9%

were members of persons with disability, while the remaining 48% were from the academe, private

sector, NGOs and CSOs. With support from the Rockefeller Foundation, this event was organized by the

Innovations at the Base of the Pyramid in Southeast Asia (iBoP Asia) Program under the Inclusive

Mobility Project of the Ateneo School of Government (ASoG).

The program formally started by the welcome remarks from Dr. Segundo Romero, Project Director of

Inclusive Mobility Project. He marked this day as the end of the Inclusive Mobility (IM) Project but the

birth of the Inclusive Mobility Network, a community with different individual advocacies but has a

unified voice in terms of inclusive mobility emphasizing the accessibility of the poor and vulnerable to

livelihood, work, public services and other activities. This network was born through a series of meetings

and workshops aiming to give the vulnerable groups equal access. He highlighted that the network is not

an adversarial network rather a group seeking solution to problems on inclusive mobility in which all

sector is duly represented. This meeting aims to organize an executive council to work on formalizing

the network by registering it under the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The draft IM Action Plan was presented as a result of the series of meetings and workshops using a

participatory and consultative process. The action plan would serve as a guide in determining the right

projects and aid for policy making in advancing a more sustainable transport and livable cities. Some of

the pressing points raised were: the need to come up with an immediate communication plan to

disseminate the plan to a wider audience; strengthen the tripartite partnership of the government;

private sector and community groups for the plans to transpire; involve more experts in the planning

process that would yield to a more strategic program as one Metro Manila; and, changing mindsets

involved in the action plan should include a paradigm shift of kids and the youth by spreading

information through the education sector. The IM Action Plan was perceived a dream come true for the

vulnerable sector especially the PWDs as they are given voice and their opinions mattered. The IM

Network is also key in allowing the government to access relevant data in transport, helping each other

toward a common goal and in giving the overall picture of sustainable transport.

The proposed structure and form of the IM Network was also presented and provisionally approved by

the members. It was followed by the election of the interim Executive Council. There were four

nominees from the marginalized sector, seven candidates from the community road users sector, eight

prospects from the media, NGO and academe group, four choices from the private sector and seven

nominees from the government. The election rules was established using a constructive participatory

process which resulted into selecting Ms. Tina Velasco (government), Mr. Cyrus Velega (marginalized),

Mr. Rally de Leon (private), Mr. Quin Cruz (community road users), Ms. Vicky Segovia (NGO), Ms. Karen

Crisostomo (NGO), Ms. Lalaine Guanzon (marginalized), Mr. Ryan Sumo (private), Ms. Dinna Dayao

(media), and Mr. Bert Suansing (private) to serve a 2-year term of office. While Ms. Elsie de Veyra

(marginalized), Mr. Pio Fortuno (community road users), Mr. Yeb Saño (government), Ms. Louie Golla

(community road users), Mr. Liberato Requima (government) will serve a 1-year term of office. It was

agreed that five other additional representatives from the list of nominees would be named by the

Executive Council.

In his closing remarks, Dr. Romero urged everyone to be tolerant with one another and render respect

and diplomacy in dealing with the other sectors as part of the network. He underlined that this is no

longer an IM project team output but the project of all members as the ideas come from everyone. The

IM project team would serve as the secretariat, which will assist the rising of the IM network logistically.

He encouraged all to locate their specific advocacies in the big IM picture for the network to work as a

whole.

OPENING PROGRAM

The Inclusive Mobility Network Organizational Meeting was attended by a total of 54 individuals with

the following representation:

The program started with everyone singing the National Anthem of the Philippines followed by an

invocation led by the emcee, Mr. Lorenzo Cordova.

WORDS OF WELCOME

Dr. Segundo Romero, Executive Director, iBoP Asia

Dr. Romero was happy to declare that this day

was the end of the inclusive mobility project and

the birth of a new system of inclusive mobility

known as a network. This network was not born

overnight, it is a product of a series of meetings

and workshops conducted by the inclusive

mobility project. He gave a quick run through of

the process that the Inclusive Mobility Network

went through.

During the first meeting entitled Metro Manila

Transport Challenge Workshop held last 12

September 2013 at the ISO Conference Room at the Ateneo De Manila University, the Inclusive Mobility

Academe 4%

Participant Representation

project team conducted a diagnostic workshop with major stakeholders to determine the problems in

sustainable transport. The second meeting entitled Inclusive Mobility Initiatives Mapping Workshop held

last 17 October 2013 at the Faber Hall Conference Room at the Ateneo De Manila University discussed

the solutions to the issues raised in the first meeting. It was in these two meetings that inclusive

mobility was introduced.

This meeting was meant to organize an interim executive council to be formalized and registered

through the Securities and Exchange Commission. The idea of having an inclusive mobility community or

group is for the government to have someone to approach or talk to about anything related to inclusive

mobility. The idea was unthinkable since each member has their own advocacies but the Inclusive

Mobility Network brought them together under a unified voice. Dr. Romero reiterated that the Inclusive

Mobility Network is not meant to be adversarial rather a solution seeking group that shed more light

than heat on having a more sustainable and inclusive transport system. And though most of the

members are from the NGO and CSO sector, the concept of inclusivity implies that everyone (all sectors)

should be represented in the network. In line with this, Dr. Romero welcomed everyone present in the

meeting today and hoped that they all remain until the end of the program especially during the

election of the Executive Council.

PRESENTATION OF THE DRAFT INCLUSIVE MOBILITY ACTION PLAN

Mr. Lorenzo Cordova Jr., Research Associate, Inclusive Mobility Project

Mr. Cordova highlighted the importance of

having a critical partnership in communicating

with one another. The Inclusive Mobility

project team compiled the result of the series

of meetings and workshops into an Inclusive

Mobility Action Plan. Two short videos were

shown for the benefit of those who were not

present during the first two meetings. The

videos showed the highlights and what

transpired during the workshops. The entire

solution-seeking process involved a series of

workshops to determine the issues,

challenges, initiatives that may not even

require new policies and opportunities facing the transport sector. The process aimed towards

determining the elements for visioning the future of transportation and mobility in Metro Manila. Lastly,

the process identified champions or advocates for a better transport system. The end product is an

action plan.

The overriding goal of the IM Action Plan is to look beyond the problem of traffic. It has the following

four main objectives:

1. To broaden and make more inclusive the process of diagnosing and designing solutions for

Metro Manila's mobility problems;

2. To increase the overall quality of the mobility system in Metro Manila by ensuring that

adequately serves even the poor, the vulnerable, the disadvantaged, the marginalized, and the

voiceless Metro Manilans;

3. To encourage multi-sector partnership in attaining collective impact in solving Metro Manila

problem; and

4. To create an inclusive Metro Manila mobility system that will serve as a key foundation for

enhancing livability and sustainability of Metro Manila as one of the world's premiere

metropolitan center.

The strategic framework of the action plan involves having all stakeholders in one place to talk: the

government, private sector and the community. It signifies a multi-dimensional solution as it involves

the four aspects: mobility, safety, productivity, and civility.

The IM community envisions inclusive mobility in Metro Manila as a safe, seamless, well connected,

accessible, and user-friendly Metro Manila sustainable urban transport system that works for all Metro

Manilans, especially the poor, the vulnerable, the disadvantaged, and the marginalized.

Inclusive mobility outcomes are grounded on a multi-sectoral network of Metro Manilans actively

partnering with the government, private sector and civil society. It is categorized according to the

aspects of mobility where enhanced mobility is defined as achieving travel purposes at the least cost and

travel time; enhanced safety is travelling with least risk of loss of life, limb and property; enhanced

productivity is generating higher peoduction of goods and services as a result of less travel cost, effort

and time; and lastly enhanced civility is having enhanced courtesy, discipline, and contribution to an

engaging and encouraging travel and mobility environment. The indicators of each aspect and their

desired outcomes were presented by Mr. Cordova.

The entire action planning process involved three significant steps: 1) identification and diagnosis of

problems, issues, and concerns; 2) Design of strategies, programs, and initiatives; and 3) prioritization of

actions to be taken.

The identification and diagnosis stage was classified into various perspectives: outcome, multi-

dimensional, and modal. Outcome perspective tackled the four aspects of mobility which centers on

issues/ challenges among motorists and non-mototized transport road users; challenges to commuters,

pedestrians and PWDs; and issues among lawmakers and enforcers. Multi-dimensional perspective

looked at the different dimensions of physical, economic, social, environmental, institutional and

technological while modal perspective described the challenges per transportation mode: train (PNR,

MRT, LRT), bus, jeepney, AUV, private vehicles, tricycles, and bicycles.

The strategies, programs and initiatives of the IM network used a ten-point strategy as follows:

1. Making the transport system work for the poor and vulnerable which aims to lower transport

fares and find ways to improve day-to-day experience of public transport users.

2. Designing the city to be walkable, bike-able and accessible which aims to create a healthier

community with more walkable and pedestrian friendly spaces.

3. Moving people, not vehicles desires urban transport to move the majority of the city's

population. This entails building more efficient transport system that connects people with their

jobs, health care, education, and other basic needs.

4. Ensuring mobility with safety & civility which pertains to strict implementation of laws while

safeguarding and promoting the welfare of the general public who uses the public transport

system. On the other hand, the general pubic has an important role in performing its duties as a

good citizen.

5. Promoting clean air, clean streets, clean vehicles, & clean facilities to enhance public health and

reducing environmental degradation caused by pollution from the transport sector. This also

includes the promotion for the use of new technologies as alternative to fossil fuel based

transport modes.

6. Planning and communicating better and travelling less which aims to advance an effective

planning process that competently allocates resources, and helps decision makers and transport

users prioritize transport activities that reduce the need for personal travel and provide

alternative transportation options. It also aims to advance an effective planning process that

competently allocates resources, and helps decision makers and transport users prioritize

transport activities that reduce the need for personal travel and provide alternative

transportation options.

7. Sharing information to increase connectivity and accessibility by leveraging on the use of

technology. Public sharing of information enables alternative and out-of-the-box options and

solutions.

8. Making our neighborhoods more accessible to the rest of the city with the aim on how to

inrease or create higher levels of neighborhood connectivity.

9. Changing mindsets and behaviors - the authorities' as well as ours pushing for a paradigm shift

to a more comprehensive transportation system. It deviates from "traffic as the problem" to

finding mobility solutions.

10. Attaining the mobility of all by engaging all especially the poor since they are the most affected

whenever there are changes/projects in the transport sector. Thus, the IM Network offers an

online platform to give them voice and to facilitate suggestions and recommendations.

Priority actions to be taken were identified as key initiatives that can be implemented by the IM

Network in the short-term or a period of one year. The following were identified as the key initiatives

and their current state:

KEY INITIATIVES STATUS

IM Network Action Plan Done and presented in this meeting

IM Portal Existing but needs a little tweaking and improvement

Infographics IM Network needs to tap art schools to help them develop knowledge products for educating the public about transport and mobility system in Metro Manila

IM Audit Studies Needs to harness transport governance research to get indicators and determine what the proper engagement for the network

Community Level IM Pilot Projects

Needs to be utilized for all elements to be used

IM Professional Course Have yet to be established

IM Network Expansion Identify who else should be included and whether the network can be expanded to other major cities not just Metro Manila

On-line petitions Need to be planned well. An example would be the current petition that calls for public officials to commute at least once a month.

Media Engagement Being done by some members but network members need to be more visual in the media for public exposure

Regular Tripartite Policy Meetings

Need to be planned

The roles of the government, private and civil society sectors were also presented by Mr. Cordova. He

said that the government should constantly collaborate with the private, non-profit and philanthropic

sectors. They should influence the private sector investments to work towards sustainable urban

transport and encourage investments in sustainable transport infrastructures. The private sector comes

in as funding support for the government. They should find adequate resources to help cities finance

infrastructure and deliver adequate services. This is where the public private partnership mechanisms

also come in. Civil society has a lot of roles because it varies in nature. Civil society should lead in

activities that change mindsets and behaviors of transport users, private sector and decision-makers.

They also generate specific actions and participate in independent monitoring and evaluation programs

and projects and in data gathering for sound decision-making. They can also accumulate and share

knowledge, capacity, skills and networks.

The plan wanted the strategies, programs and initiatives to be programmatic and sequential, hence the

inclusion of an IM action program that improves physical connectivity, improve communication and

encourage transport user contribution to overall mobility. All of the outcomes and programs presented

earlier were organized into the action programs such as: Inclusive Safety Action Program, Inclusive

Productivity Action Program, and Inclusive Civility Action Program each with suggested key actions of

the government, private, and civil society sectors.

This Action Plan presented is open to suggestions, comments, and critical opinions from all sectors for

improvement. Everyone was given a printed copy for review.

OPEN FORUM

The floor was opened for comments, suggestions and reactions from the participants.

Most of the participants commended the IM project team for the very comprehensive action plan and in

helping create an IM community that represents inclusivity in all aspects. The expansion of the IM

network involves making it a stronger organization that puts everybody together to work and think as

one.

COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS SPECIFIC TO

THE ACTION PLAN:

The immediate strategies perhaps

need to detail a communication plan

to make the network and action plan

known to a wider audience.

The role and task of the government

sector should undertake a careful and

thoughtful planning. This has been

missing for the longest time.

The private sector's role should not

only help in mobilizing resources but

also include not taking advantage of the situation by raising fees or fares. They should apply the

real essence of public-private partnership. PPP happens in both ways.

"Drenched in sweat moving from point A to point B" found in the action plan pertaining to

cycling is not necessary.

"Bicycles can only safely transport one person..." also found in the action plan should take into

consideration pedicabs which can transport more than one person.

COMMENTS AND SUGGESTIONS SPECIFIC TO THE IM NETWORK:

Make the network stronger because of the avalanche of activities as a result of building the IM

community. The challenge is to be able to put things together. Invite more experts into putting

everything into a strategic plan that makes the rest in the government and private sector see IM

in a simplistic way that calls for the urgency to take actions already. Metropolitan Manila

Development Authority (MMDA), Pasig and Makati are all putting things together but there is no

agenda that works for one whole Metro Manila. There is a need to be smarter in making plans

and to communicate well.

PWDs are happy for the representation that they

now enjoy. Their representation in many IM activities

opened doors and brought awareness to many National

Government Agencies (NGAs) that PWDs are part of the

society and needs attention. Their rights are given voice

through the IM Network.

Since there is no existing CSO that acts to address

the needs pertaining to the transport sector, the majority of

the CSO representation in the IM Network is a great

opportunity. There are many proposals by the government

on creating more infrastructures but the IM Network is

CSO's opportunity to show the government facts and data

to compel a paradigm shift for everyone including other

CSOs. All sectors have various individual advocacies but do

not speak as one so the IM Network clearly helps in giving

inclusive mobility a voice.

Tap the Department of Education by sending them

flyers and representatives from our network to talk to students and parents during PTAs in order

to make them aware of what the network is doing. The last Monday of March is declared as

disability day, this can be the good time to talk to students about IM and promote inclusivity in

transport.

OTHER POINTS RAISED:

Study all roads (east to west, north to south) and consider

constructing separate roads for the exclusive use of public and

private vehicles (a road where private vehicles only can ply).

Study whether motorcycle (MC) lanes in major

thoroughfares could be exclusive to motorcycles. MMDA placed a

motorcycle lane with an understanding that this is a private lane

for motorcycles however, other vehicles overtaking in the lane

compromises the safety of MC riders. The government calls it

reserved lane but road users have different interpretation. We

understand that infrastructure is lacking but the IM network can

help in the safety of MC riders.

Study the option of opening subdivisions to MCs for traffic

decongestion.

Changing mindsets should also include the young by

spreading communication through the education sector.

The safety issue of MC riders caused by the rampant

incidence of crimes committed by motorcycle riding in tandem.

There is hope to continue and encourage MC riders to

undergo safety seminars because of increasing number of MC users. There is a need to impose

discipline and responsibility on MC riders in plying the roads of Metro Manila.

Some LGU policies are inconsistent with national policies. For example, Batas Pambansa 344

states that roads should be accessible to PWDs but some subdivisions do not follow. Another

example is wearing a helmet. It is required for MC riders but some subdivisions impose a "no

helmet allowed inside the subdivision" policy, which the LGU could do nothing about.

Share the Road Movement will file a petition on the Writ of Kalikasan on 13 February 2014 and

is encouraging everyone to share their experiences and get their story across. These stories

would make their advocacy more compelling. The writ invoked during one of their

environmental law class would oblige the government to strictly enforce all environmental laws

and specific provisions on road sharing. It also urges everybody to allocate spaces for cyclists

and runners too. It does not aim to eliminate motor vehicles but encourage other people to use

other modes of transportation to lessen the environmental impact of motorized transport.

RESPONSE BY THE IM PROJECT TEAM

Dr. Danielle Guillen said that part of

the reason for building an IM Network

is to reach out to all sectors including

the government sector. The idea of

forming an IM Network aside from

raising issues is to find solutions to

these issues. She acknowledged that

traffic is not only due to the number of

vehicles plying the road but also

because of the lack of connectivity to

private subdivisions. From each

community, individuals must realize

that everyone has a role. There do exist

technologies that could help identify

transport issues and concerns (i.e. CCTV cameras) and there are lobbyists who rally to help the

government and find solutions to the existing problems. She encouraged everyone to be champions for

the sector and avoid blaming the other.

Dr. Romero said that the open forum clearly showed that the IM network is composed of a diverse set of

people and organizations. It involves all sectors and he was happy that representatives from the

government (LGU and NGA) were always present because their presence is crucial in every meeting. He

recognized that their role is difficult because the network is composed largely of CSO/NGO and the

government is always in the minority. The government's attendance is pivotal so ideas from the group

would not fall under the extreme. The government provides the necessary balance and perspective to

the group. Tyranny of the minority is avoided by having a permanent set of government representatives

every time.

Dr. Romero cited MMDA as a government institution share a similar agenda with IM. In fact, MMDA's

plan has portions on mobility, safety, civility and productivity. They have started to separate the

perspective of mobility on their plans and programs however, since traffic and transport management is

part of their mandate, they could not zero in on mobility alone.

The main contribution of the IM group is to give the big picture on sustainable transport in Metro

Manila. Dr. Romero urged all to look at their activities and individuals and locate their specific

advocacies in the big picture. The outputs of the group are no longer outputs of the IM project but the

product of every member. All ideas came from every member through a participatory solution seeking

process. The IM project team serves as a midwife1 giving birth to the IM Network. The project team will

not leave soon as the project ends, they will continue to listen and to provide resources for the

network's activities. IM becomes the network of organizations and individuals and no longer the project.

ORGANIZATIONAL PERSPECTIVES ON CSO NETWORKS

MODEL NETWORK: PARTNERSHIP FOR CLEAN AIR

Vicky M. Segovia, Executive Director

As a model network organization of a CSO network, Ms. Segovia presented the structure of Partnership

for Clean Air (PCA). PCA's structure is similar to the IM network in terms of its composition of mostly

CSO members and it being an advocacy network.

She presented the history of the

organization saying how PCA evolved from

the Lead-Free Coalition to the Coalition for

Cleaner Fuels to being PCA in June 8, 2001.

PCA was registered to be a legal entity with

the Securities and Exchange Commission

and incorporated as a non-stock, non-

profit corporation on November 23, 2003.

The PCA secretariat operations was initially

funded by a US-AEP grant in the first 6

months. The Asian Development Bank

(ADB) funded the consultants that made

up the secretariat and all operations,

overheads and projects for 2.5 years. Pilipinas Shell and Manila Observatory supported the core

operations of the PCA secretariat in subsequent years up to 2009. PCA is a national network of Clean Air

Asia in the Philippines.

In line with its mission and objectives of promoting air quality management, PCA as an organization

serves the following functions:

Coordinative as it coordinates air quality activities of members and stakeholders.

Supportive as it supports members and stakeholders in air quality activities.

Innovative as it undertakes activities in new areas of air quality management.

Participative as it continues to promote air quality management as a multi-stakeholder effort.

Responsive as it runs an efficient organization in order to be more responsive to the needs of its

members and stakeholders.

Transparent as it conducts activities and operations in a transparent manner.

PCA members comprise representation from the government, development agencies and various CSOs,

NGOs and the academe.

Ms. Segovia also presented they past key achievements in program development, capacity-building,

and social mobilization. She also showed key activities that includes annual forum on clean air,

assemblies, steering committee meetings, recruitment of clean air champions, car-free days, tricycle

upgrading project, eco/ clean fleet management, eco-driving seminars for government offices,

environmentally sustainable transport system, feasibility study of tricycle upgrading using e-trikes,

lobbied for Green Philippine Development Plan, Electric Vehicle Alliance of the Philippines (EVAP),

electric vehicle summit, and produce national air quality status report. They were also proud to say that

in 2013, they had been officially accepted as member of the Foundation for Sustainable Societies, Inc.

(FSSI). One of PCA's priority projects from 2013 until 2015 is the promotion of non-motorized transport

such as biking and walking. In the future, PCA hopes to continue their clean air advocacies, search for

alternative clean technologies, and be the center for training on clean cities program.

IM NETWORK ORGANIZATIONAL DESIGN:

THE WHOLE MUST BE MORE THAN THE SUM OF ITS PARTS

Dr. Segundo Romero

Dr. Romero presented a proposed structure of the IM network with the goal of being the primary

advocate of mobility of all, by all, for all in Metro Manila.

In terms of membership, the project team proposed for the IM Network to have member organization

with individual members admitted according to rules that the Executive Council may provide. The IM

Network should be deliberately and unashamedly biased in favor of the poor, the vulnerable, the

disadvantages, and the marginalized Metro Manilans. Representation in the structure of the

organization should reflect this bias. The multi-sector representation in the Inclusive Mobility Network

is solely a mechanism for providing adequate information, ideas, insights, and perspectives from other

sectors, for making the strategies, policies, actions, and decisions of the Inclusive Mobility Network

consistent with the general welfare of all Metro Manilans. Representatives of the disadvantaged,

community road-users, NGOs, the private sector, and the government in the Inclusive Mobility Network

shall, as far a possible, represent their respective sectors (disadvantaged, community, NGOs, private

sector, government) and not solely as representatives of their respective organizations. The idea is for

them to contribute collectively towards a more inclusive mobility in Metro Manila.

The Executive Council is proposed to finalize the Articles of Incorporation and By-laws of the IM

Network. They will be the incorporators of the Network when registered through the Philippine

Securities and Exchange Commission. Those who will be elected as Executive Council members in this

meeting shall serve as the first set of officers of the IM network for two years (February 2014 - February

2016). The Council is expected to elect a Chairman and Vice Chairman and the initial members shall

have staggered terms where half will serve for the full two-year terms and the other half for one year.

Membership in the Executive Council shall have the Executive Director of the IM Network as an ex-

officio member. The Executive Council is proposed to have the following composition:

QUANTITY PERCENTAGE REPRESENTATION

3 20% Vulnerable/ Disadvantaged groups (urban poor, PWDs, senior citizen, accident victims, youth)

3 20% Community-based organizations, road-users/ commuters

3 20% NGOs, academe, media

3 20% Private sector

3 20% Government (national/ local)

15 100% TOTAL

The criteria for choosing members of the Executive Council includes:

1. Accepts the vision of IM for Metro Manila;

2. Able and willing to contribute personal effort for enhancing IM in Metro Manila; and

3. Able to provide sector perspective in the service of overall inclusive mobility in Metro Manila.

Meanwhile, the IM Project Team shall serve as the interim Secretariat until the project ends in May

2014, hence, they cannot be nominated nor elected as part of the Executive Council. But soon as the

project ends, they will all serve as members of the IM Network. The IM Project Director shall serve as

the interim Executive Director until the project terminates.

The proposed election rules and procedure were as follows:

Sector categories will be formed on the display gallery: (1) Marginalized, (2) Community road-

users, (3) NGO, academe, media (4) Private sector, (5) Government sector

No two council members shall come from the same organization/agency/community

Nominations for each category will be made for each sector (in the sequence above) using

metacards

Voting at large will be done using colored sticker dots

The adoption of the IM logo and tag line was also proposed as an interim arrangement to serve its

purpose on upcoming events and in the implementation of the Network’s Communication and Action

Plans.

NOMINATION AND ELECTION OF THE INTERIM EXECUTIVE COUNCIL

The nomination and election was done in a participatory manner where the participants get to comment

and suggest how the election should be done.

The participants were asked to nominate as many members as they could and every nominee agreed to

willingly serve the network as an executive council member. (See attachment for actual number of

nominations) The nominees per sector were as follows:

members during the meeting. After which the council will decide on the additional five with the end and

view of balancing the representation of all sectors in the council. This will serve as a permanent election

rule for the succeeding elections. A tie between Liberato Requioma and Violeta Seva from the

government sector called for a revote. The voting resulted into Liberato Requioma getting elected. 2

fifteen were ranked according to the person with the highest votes to the lowest to determine the

CLOSING REMARKS

Dr. Segundo Romero

As closing remarks, Dr. Romero urged everyone to be tolerant with one another and render respect and

diplomacy in dealing with the other sectors as part of the network. For this big network of organizations

to last longer, conflict should be avoided and patience and democracy must be exercised at all times.

The election of government representatives as part of the Executive Council is serendipity because they

have sympathy to CSOs so their role is critical as a balancing act. This is to demonstrate to all

government sector representatives down the road that constructive engagement and true essence of

partnership is the way to go.

He underlined that this is no longer an IM project team output but the project of all members as ideas

come from every member. The IM project team would serve as the Secretariat, which will assist the

rising of the IM Network logistically. He encouraged all to locate their specific advocacies in the big IM

picture for the network to work as a whole.
