This policy brief examines the Philippine government's size and perceived bureaucratic inefficiency, highlighting a disproportionately large public administration workforce and a significant public sector wage premium compared to international and regional averages. The document discusses existing reorganization initiatives and legislative proposals, particularly delegating expansive reorganization authority to the President. It identifies concerns regarding the lack of legislative oversight, the exclusion of critical sectors like healthcare and education from proposed rightsizing measures, and the need to address redundancy and duplication of functions among government agencies. The brief concludes by offering recommended approaches for Congress, such as amending the scope of presidential authority, incorporating a legislative veto, or asserting its statutory reorganization powers to ensure a balanced and effective reform process that benefits the Filipino people.
