The Center for People Empowerment in Governance (CenPEG)
The Center for People Empowerment in Governance (CenPEG) is a public policy center established shortly before the May 2004 elections to help promote people empowerment in governance. Concerned with the elitist and patronage-driven electoral and political system in the country, CenPEG especially advocates the democratic representation of the poor.
CenPEG adopts a governance perspective by examining critically the electoral and political systems that give rise to problems like corruption and underdevelopment using the governance indicators of transparency, accountability and people participation. The center’s programs are aimed at securing comprehensive political and electoral changes to help ensure people participation and nurture a culture of integrity in governance. It conducts research and policy studies, education and trainings as well as undertakes advocacy and community-based projects that enhance the people’s role as key players in governance.
Computer Professionals' Union (CPU)
A group of information communications technology (ICT) practitioners established the Computer Professionals' Union (CPU) of the Philippines in 2001 to respond to the expressed need of grassroots-oriented organizations to participate in the benefits of information and communication technology (ICT), then becoming a very pronounced sector in the Philippines' national development landscape.
CPU eventually extended its reach to do advocacy and organizing work among computer professionals and enthusiasts, i.e., programmers, system developers, system analysts, ICT project managers, university students, including teachers and researchers from the academe. As its mission, CPU works for an information and communications technology that will benefit the Filipino people through the enunciation of a pro-people critical standpoint on the state of ICT in the country and its impact on the Filipino people in general, and on ICT professionals in particular.
The CPU is dedicated to further advancing the specific demands of Filipino ICT professionals in the workplace, guided by the principles of freedom of information, privacy of information, free and open source philosophy, and the use of appropriate technology.
