Tayabas Western Academy Founded 1928 Recognized by the Government Candelaria, Quezon 1. As a student of Tayabas Western Academy, how can you make good governance happen? One say’s that, “Governance is too complex task to be left alone to politicians especially to the irresponsible and the corrupt” (Anonymous). So, as a student of Tayabas Western Academy, we should be responsible enough to make good governance happen by means of being a good constituents of the community where we follow the rules and regulations that was being prescribed, because a good leader is also a good follower, based on the opinion of Jingcky Catapang (BSED-IV). She added that, “good governance would disregard corruption and against to illegal doings. According to Laura Mae Salonga (BEED-IV), as a student, I can make the good governance happen my doing my responsibilities wether as an officer or a leader or as a follower. I will cooperate on the schools activities and I will attend meetings, for me to become updated and informed of the plans and as a student, whenever I have ideas or suggestion for the better plans, I will tell it to them. Good governance will happen if every of the group cooperates and actively participates and if there is unity and peace among the members. It would be easy to have a good governance, if every member will be open-minded and humble to accept opinions, complains, and suggestions. While to ClaribeL Baldos (BSED-IV), to build good governance, I will make this happen by gaining trust and cooperation of the people. Because I believed that, “Two heads are better than one”, that’s why involving people in governance will be much better. Because partnership between the government and the constituents would make good emphasis in the governance. With me being accountable, fair, and transparent and with them having trust, cooperation and confidence, I think in that way I can make good governance happen, without promising but by just doing what is best for the government and its constituents. Furthermore, Aloha Joy Pedrosa (BSED-IV) added opinion, that good governance possess transparency, accountability, integrity, trust, innovation, social and economic responsibilities that will help the community become progressive. In addition from Donna Lingao (BSED-IV), to make good governance happen the government itself need good leaders that has personality like prioritizing first his/her constituents so that they will know what are they concerns of. 2.
