As stated in President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s State of the Nation Address (SONA) on July 25, right-sizing the bureaucracy for a lean, effective, and responsive government workforce has been a legislative priority. On Monday, a House subcommittee endorsed the idea.

The unnumbered replacement measure, which intends to eliminate redundancy or duplication in functions or those agencies being already obsolete, was authorized during a hearing by the House Committee on Government Reorganization, which is chaired by Bukidnon Representative Jonathan Keith Flores.

House Bills 12, 2423, 2787, 2885, 3096, 3227, 3385, 3473, 3529, 3539, 4015, 4086, 4120, 4411, and 4816 are combined in the alternative legislation.

The bill states that it is the State’s policy to advance and uphold government effectiveness, efficiency, and economy; to strengthen institutional capacity to improve the delivery of public services, and to ensure the achievement of the nation’s societal and economic development goals and objectives.

According to the bill, “rightsizing” is the process of determining the proper roles, mandates, structures, functions, sizes, systems, and processes of governmental organizations in order to guarantee effective, responsive, and efficient service delivery.

While overhauling a “bloated bureaucracy” is no easy task given the “vastness and complexity” of government offices, Speaker Martin Romualdez, the author of HB 12, said the legislative intent of the measure must be realized in the context of good governance, improved public service delivery, and fiscal responsibility.

The goal of right-sizing the government bureaucracy, according to Romualdez, is to enhance public service delivery by reducing duplication, redundancy, or overlap in functions.

Amenah Pangandaman, the budget secretary, previously stated that the government will save money with the proposed rightsizing that could be used to fund important projects like the construction of urgently needed infrastructure, social services, health-related programs, and agriculture, among others.

In his first State of the Nation Address, President Marcos pleaded with Congress to approve the rightsizing law and other top legislative priorities of his government.

The Marcos administration will choose which of the 187 federal entities with over 2 million employees can be streamlined through merger, restructuring, or abolition under the DBM’s rightsizing strategy.
