LEGITIMATION
• Legitimation is the act of providing
legitimacy. Legitimation in the social
sciences refers to the process
whereby an act, process, or ideology
becomes legitimate by its attachment
to norms and values within in given
society. It is the process of making
something acceptable and normative
to a group or audience.
• Legitimate power is the ability to influence
through authority, the right by virtue of one's
organization position or status to exercise
control over persons in subordinate position.

Policy Legitimation
• After the tedious process of policy
formulation comes the legitimation
stage.
• This comes in the form of the
Medium-Term Philippine
Development Plan (MTPDP), which is
usually promulgated with the first
State of the Nation Address (SONA)
of the president.
• The Medium Term Philippine Development
Plan is a detailed roadmap towards achieving
our common goal of reducing poverty through
job creation and enterprise. After
enumerating the Basic Tasks or 10-Point
Agenda laid out by the President, it lays out
the current macroeconomic situation then
moves on to the fighting targets. (BACK)
• The MTPDP encapsulates the bulk of the new policy directions of the
Administration.
• It practically covers the whole range of national policy issues namely:
macroeconomic policies, poverty alleviation, Information and
Communications Technology (ICT), tourism, infrastructure
development, agriculture, agrarian reform, environment, education,
health care, housing, peace and order and foreign policies.
 Stages of Public Policy Process

• Benchmarks and standards are stated in both

the MTPDP and SONA as tangible targets to be
achieved and as measures of the
administration’s success or failure.
• The rationale behind the Cabinet-
level interagency structure of the
NEDA is to forge a consensus at the
pre-implementation phase, since it
is the different departments who
are actually tasked to implement
the various programs stipulated in
the MTPDP and other policy
declarations.
