Social Watch Philippines

Social Watch Philippines NGO advocating for sustainable development through equitable and participatory public financing

In early 1997, Social Watch Philippines was convened by Action for Economic Reforms (ACTION), Accessing Support Services and Entrepreneurial Technology, Inc. (ASSET), Philippine Rural Reconstruction Movement (PRRM) with Prof. Leonor Briones as the Lead Convenor, being the coordinator of Social Watch-Asia. Since it was set-up in 1997, SWP has annually put forward a strategy of advocacy, awareness-b

uilding, monitoring, organizational development and networking. Series of national and island consultations were organized with the objectives of increasing peopleโ€™s awareness and participation in promoting social development concerns with government. The network started with 27 CSOs and individuals and by this time it has grown to more or less 100 CSOs and individuals. SWP has likewise faithfully submitted an annual Philippine country report to the Global Social Watch Report, which in turn is submitted to the United Nations Social Development Commission. The Social Watch global report is essentially a progress report on the accomplishments, or the lack of them, of different countries in the implementation of their social development commitments.

Magparehistro po tayo. Iboto natin ang karapat-dapat na taong hahawak ng pondo ng bayan. Magparehistro para mailuklok sa pwesto ang tamang tao na magpapasya kung may pondo ba sa health, edukasyon, trabaho, at iba pa.

Present bilang observers at kinatawan ng Social Watch - Alternative Budget Initiative (ABI) sina Ralph Degollacion ng Health Justice at Alyannah Lagasca ng Youth for Mental Health Coalition sa technical budget hearings ng Department of Health (DOH) noong Martes, 12 Mayo 2026. Ang technical budget hearings ay ang masinsinang proseso kung saan ipinaliliwanag ng bawat ahensya sa Department of Budget and Management (DBM) ang pangangailangan sa bawat budget item.

Bukod sa pagbabantay, isinusulong din ng Social Watch sa DOH ang sapat na pondo para sa mental health, to***co control (kabilang ang training, cessation services, health facilities, at mas maayos na enforcement), women and child protection units, at nutrition.

Bago pa ang hearings, nakipagpulong na ang Social Watchโ€“ABI sa DOH para talakayin ang pagbaba ng pondo ng Central Office at bureaus nito. Pinuna rin ng grupo ang mababang utilization ng ilang programa habang may mga budget namang patuloy na lumalaki. Binatikos din ng grupo ang guarantee letters na ginagawang pamamaraan ng politiko para makakuha ng boto.

Nakipag-meeting ang Social Watch Philippines (SWP), community leaders ng Maynila, at health experts mula sa Manila Health Department sa opisina ni Manila Kon. Joaquin Domagoso para isulong ang pagkakaroon ng pondo para sa smoke-free at vape-free programs sa lungsod. Ang pondo ay pwedeng gamitin para tulungan ang mga gustong tumigil sa va**ng at paninigarilyo, awareness campaigns, at operasyon ng bubuuing Smoke-Free Task Force. Sa ngayon ay pinaga-aralan pa ang eksaktong numero para rito.
