WHAT IF GOVERNANCE wasn’t just the work of government?
What if it was something we build together—one table, many voices, shared responsibility?
Padayon Bayanihan Governance is a national governance conference of Solution Ecosystems Activator (SEA), Inc., inspired by the vision of the late Nicanor Perlas and made possible with the support of Lifebank Foundation. More than a conference, it is a gathering of people who believe that nation-building begins in our barangays, our organizations, and our daily choices.
With the theme “Bayan Iyan — Our Country, Our Shared Responsibility,” the conference calls on local government leaders, civil society organizations, youth groups, academe, and the private sector to move beyond parallel efforts and step into genuine collaboration.
This is an invitation to sit at one table, break silos, build trust, and turn shared visions into shared action.
Why Join Padayon Bayanihan Governance?
Because governance works best when:
• CSOs don’t just demand—but help build
• LGUs don’t just lead—but listen
• Businesses don’t just profit—but participate
• Citizens don’t just observe—but co-create
Through plenary discussions, workshops, and dialogue spaces, participants will explore how bayanihan governance transforms advocacy into action, leadership into service, and partnerships into lasting impact.
