 Strategy- is a way of describing how you are going to get
things done. It is less specific than an action plan (which
tells the who-what-when); instead, it tries to broadly
answer the question, "How do we get there from here?"
Developing strategies - is really a way to focus your
efforts and figure out how you're going to get things done.
By doing so, you can achieve the following advantages:
1. Taking advantage of resources and emerging
opportunities
2. Responding effectively to resistance and barriers
3. A more efficient use of time, energy, and resources
-is a concept in sociology and political science
referring to the way that the administrative
execution and enforcement of legal rules is
socially organized.

- is characterized by standardized procedure,

formal division of responsibility, hierarchy, and
impersonal social relationships.
 In Webers bureaucracy, people are
appointed to their positions because of
merit because of what they can do, rather
than because of who they are.
Is the way of managing the affairs of the
complex society;
It works when its operation are, at every
point, made predictable. This is achieved by
formulating clear rules and criteria, and
limiting the scope for personal discretion.
The Philippine bureaucracy is largely fractured
rarely displaying the capacity to implement
standards without succumbing to patrimonial
pressures. Because of weak institutionalization of
the policy structures in the central bureaucracy, the
personal favor or disfavor of power traders
becomes a critical determinants of resource and
project allocations.

In the Philippines, the development of business
regulations is in line with the promotion of
public interest.
From the provisions of the 1987 Philippine
Constitution and the policy declarations
embodied in the statutes, it can readily be seen
that public interest has been the driving force in
the regulations being imposed.
 Are the most important non-departmental
public bodies that are charged with regulating
not just newly privatized sectors but also any
aspect of social life where a public interest is
held to be at stake such as natural monopoly like
electrical supply, water provision, broadcasting,
etc. because they inherit a dominant market
share.
Act as a buffer between the government and the
regulated bodies reducing the excessive
intervention which held back many government
corporations.

DTI ORGANIZATION
HISTORY
beginnings on 23 June 1898 when President
Emilio F. Aguinaldo formed four government
agencies, namely the Departments of Navy,
Commerce, Agriculture, and Manufacturing.
06 September 1901, the Philippine Commission
established the Department of Commerce (and
Police). After World War II, President Manuel A.
Roxas issued Executive Order (EO) 94 on 04
October 1947, creating the Department of
Commerce and Industry (DCI).
 Prior to EO 94, the Bureau of Commerce was
tasked to develop and promote the trade and
industry of the country under the overall
supervision of the Department of Agriculture
and Commerce (Act 4007 on 05 December
1932 by the Philippine Legislature).
After 25 years, by 1972, DCI had grown into a
big organization with 10 regular bureaus and
22 agencies under its direct supervision.
 President Ferdinand E. Marcos issued Presidential Decree
(PD) 189 on 11 May 1973, creating the Department of
Tourism to handle all tourism-related matters.
A year later, 21 June 1974, Marcos issued PD 488 creating
the Department of Industry whose principal function was
to promote and enhance the growth of the existing and
thriving industries in the country.
02 June 1975, the Department of Trade was created under
PD 721 to pursue efforts of the government toward
strengthening socio-economic development of the
country, particularly in the area of commercial activities. A
key strategy of the new department was vigorous export
promotion to generate much needed foreign exchange
(forex).
 creation on 27 July 1981 of the Ministry of Trade and
Industry, which took over the functions of the
subsequently abolished Departments of Trade and of
Industry.
Drastic changes followed after the People Power
Revolution. President Corazon C. Aquino signed on 27
February 1987 EO 133, reorganizing the Ministry of Trade
and Industry and renaming it the Department of Trade and
Industry (DTI).
2006, Secretary Peter B. Favila issued a Department Order
officially declaring every 27 July of each year, the date and
month the Ministry of Trade and the Ministry of Industry
was first merged, as the DTI anniversary.

 Industries such as mining, power,
telecommunications, and banking face
greater government intervention and are
burdened with tighter rules because they are
imbued with public interest.
(1) public utilities,
(2) mining and logging,
(3) banking, and
(4) insurance.
 Under section 13(b) of the Public Service Act
(Commonwealth Act 146), the gas, electric, and
power industry; petroleum;
telecommunications industry; wire or wireless
broadcasting stations; water and sewerage
systems; and transportation industry are
considered as public utilities (Albano v. Reyes,
1989), by virtue of which they are mandated by
Section 11, Article XII of the 1987 Philippine
Constitution to be subjected to state regulation.
Mining and logging are regulated by the
government pursuant to the Regalian doctrine
embodied in Section 2, Article XII of the 1987
Constitution which declare that: All lands of the
public domain, waters, minerals, coal, petroleum,
and other mineral oils, all forces of potential
energy, fisheries, forests or timber, wildlife, flora
and fauna, and other natural resources are owned
by the State .Hence, the exploration,
development and utilization of these are under the
full control and supervision of the state.
 Under The General Banking Law of 2000, the
banking sector is regulated because of the vital
role of banks in the economy and the need to
maintain high standards of integrity and
performance due to the fiduciary nature of the
enterprise (The General Banking Law Section 2,
2000).
The tight regulatory requirements imposed on
the organization and operation of banks, as well
as the continuous supervision by the Bangko
Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) to ensure stability and
sustainability of banks
 The Insurance Code Republic Act No. 10607 (2013),
which amended the Insurance Code of the Philippines
(Presidential Decree 612), is the governing law for the
insurance industry.
The regulations imposed, which include restrictions
on the operations of these industries as well as
supervision by the Insurance Commission, are
intended to ensure their ability to meet their
obligations and mitigate the risks taken.
Insurance Commissioner Emmanuel Dooc is of the
view that the public will be better served with only
financially strong players remaining in the industry
(Remo, 2014).
The Department of Labor and Employment
(DOLE) started as a small bureau in 1908. It
became a department on December 8, 1933 with
the passage of Act 4121.
The DOLE is the national government agency
mandated to formulate and implement policies and
programs, and serve as the policy-advisory arm of
the Executive Branch in the field of labor and
employment.
MISSION:

TO ADVANCE THE INTERESTS OF THE PHILIPPINES AND THE FILIPINO PEOPLE IN

THE WORLD COMMUNITY

VISION:
THE DEPARTMENT OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS is the prime agency of government
responsible for the pursuit of the State's foreign policy and the nerve center for a
Foreign Service worthy of the trust and pride of every Filipino.
 The Philippine Foreign Policy
The most important provisions of the 1987 Philippine Constitution which pertain to
the framing of Philippine foreign policy are as follows:
Article II, Section 2: "The Philippines renounces war as an instrument of national
policy, adopts the generally accepted principles of international law as part of the law
of the land and adheres to the policy of peace, equality, justice.
Article II, Section 7: "The State shall pursue an independent foreign policy. In its
relations with other states the paramount consideration shall be national sovereignty,
territorial integrity, national interest, and the right to self-determination."
Republic Act No. 7157, otherwise known as "Philippine Foreign Service Act of 1991",
gives mandate to the Department of Foreign Affairs to implement the three (3) pillars
of the Philippine Foreign Policy, as follows:
1. Preservation and enhancement of national security
2. Promotion and attainment of economic security
3. Protection of the rights and promotion of the welfare and interest of Filipinos
overseas.
1. China, Japan and the United States and their
relationship will be a determining influence in the
security situation and economic evolution of
East Asia;
2. Philippine foreign policy decisions have to be
made in the context of ASEAN;
3. The international Islamic community will
continue to be important for the Philippines;
4. The coming years will see the growing
importance of multilateral and inter-regional
organizations to promote common interests;
5. As an archipelagic state, the defense of the nation's
sovereignty and the protection of its environment
and natural resources can be carried out only to the
extent that it asserts its rights over the maritime
territory and gets others to respect those rights;
6. The country's economic policy will continue to be
friendly to both domestic and foreign direct
investments;
7. The Philippines can benefit most quickly from
international tourism
8. Overseas Filipinos will continue to be recognized for
their critical role in the country's economic and social
stability.
 is the executive force of the government, which is
tasked to formulate, implement and evaluate the
interest of the State through her diplomatic and
consular offices abroad.
Embassies abroad are political networks and offices of
the sending states to the receiving host states, which
are task to promote, strengthen ties and secure vital
information towards national interests for future
prospects and relations with the host countries.
Consular offices are economic in nature. These are
agencies that are concerned primarily on the
protection and promotion of the welfare status of our
nationals working abroad.
