 What is It

Nonstate Institutions and Organizations

Bank is a place where

people deposit or save their money
with corresponding interest on a
given period of time. It lends money
both to the public and private
organizations. The government
borrows money from the bank to
finance its projects while private
organizations and individuals borrow
money to finance their business and
other personal needs. Example
includes Banco de Oro, Bank of the
Philippine Islands, Metrobank, rural
banks, etc.

Corporation is a company or group of people authorized to act as a single

entity and recognized as such in law. Usually, corporations operate as stock
corporations where ownership is through stockholders who own particular shares in
the company. Examples are San Miguel Corporation and Jollibee Foods
Corporation.

Cooperative or coop refers to an autonomous association whose

membership is voluntary toward the attainment of common economic, social and
cultural needs or aspirations. A cooperative is owned by its members. Examples are
credit cooperative, consumer cooperative, electric cooperative, housing cooperative,
worker’s cooperative, agricultural cooperative, general cooperative.

A trade union or labor union is an organization of workers whose main

objective is to protect the welfare of its members. Its purpose is to collectively
negotiate employers for better compensation benefits, safety standards in the
workplace, just to name a few. In the Philippines, these national federations are
Trade Union Congress of the Philippines (TUCP) and the Kilusang Mayo Uno
(KMU).

Transnational Advocacy Groups are involved in social advocacy to promote

principled causes, ideas and values. Their goal is to give the powerless a voice in
the domestic and international lawmaking body. Common social advocacies include
human rights, consumer rights, women’s rights, environmental issues, and
international peace. In the Philippines, Human Rights Watch is very active in human
rights and peace issues.
Development Agencies are committed/dedicated to distributing aid. These
agencies are present in developing countries challenged by security conflict, food

shortage, climate change, financial instability and others. Some of the prominent
development agencies in the Philippines are the following:
 United States Agency for International Development (USAID)
 Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID)
 Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA)

Aid can be subdivided into two categories: humanitarian aid (emergency relief
efforts in response to disasters and development aid (foreign aid) aimed at helping
countries to achieve sustainable economic growth.

Global Organizations operate in the development of entire countries. They

are the funders and donors. They operate by giving loans or grants to other countries
to be used for development. In the onslaught of covid-19, the Philippines was
granted a loan by the World Bank to be used for financial assistance to many of the
Filipinos who are affected by the pandemic. Below are the most well-known
organizations in the world.
 World Bank (WB)
 International Monetary Bank (IMB)
 Asian Development Bank (ADB)

International Organizations are organizations with international

membership, scope or presence. The two (2) main types are the following:
 International Non-governmental Organizations (INGO) – non-governmental
organizations (NGOs) that operate internationally, example, International
Committee of the Red Cross.
 International Governmental Organizations (IGOs) – these are organizations
that are made up primarily of member states, example, the United Nations
(UN).

Activity 2: PARTNER FOR LIFE

Basta “Abot mo ang mundo!” “Bida ang Saya!” Of course, “We find ways!” to
“Taste the Feeling!”

Sounds familiar? Yes, indeed. Those are called taglines or slogan from different
nonstate institutions that make their brand distinct. Many of these institutions have played
a key role in boosting the economy of our country. Many of these institutions have always
proven their worth as a counterpart of the government especially in times of crisis. The
private-public partnership is obviously working in our country for the better. Let’s have a
break through our next activity.

1. Watch the television, listen to the radio, and browse the internet. What else?
Be resourceful.
2. Research three (3) different nonstate institutions or organizations that can be
found in the Philippines which extended help during crisis.
3. Look for their name, their tagline or slogan, and their valuable contribution to
our country.
