Lesson
What’s In
Any state in the world formulates its own government agency to achieve the needs of
its people. However, in most democratic society, the state government allows
business individuals, corporations, and non-profit organizations to deliver goods and
services for the citizens (De Leon 2008).
A country can be associated with how a family functions; there are authoritarian
parents who determine the future of their children. Meanwhile, there are lenient
parents who allow their children to grow with minimum restrictions. In general,
parents must do necessary actions to feed the family, provide proper clothing, send
children to school, give a decent shelter, give medicine in times of sickness, and save
some budget or resources in case of emergency. Yet, no matter how parents work to
make both ends meet, there are always some issues left undone (“The Philippines”).
On the contrary, family remains as a family no matter how imperfect they are. They
must help one another as a unit or an entity to avoid problems as much as possible.
They must utilize all resources to make possibilities to happen. Meanwhile, children
play a vital role in the family by being responsible and sensitive individuals who do
their own share, like turning off the lights or other appliances when not in use, do
some households chores, or apply for scholarship, for an instance, to ease the burden
of tuition fees, and the likes (Halili-Jao 2018).
The government is at its best in providing the necessity of its people by allocating all
its resources to meet the demands of its citizenry. However, like an ordinary family,
no matter how the government work to make both ends meet, there is always some
issues that needs to be worked upon (Panopio 1995).
On the other hand, non-state institutions are created to back up the government in
filling in the gap between the state and its people. In order to achieve their mission,
non-state institutions produce results that uplift the condition of the people in
general. Banks, corporations, trade unions, cooperatives, development agencies, civil
organizations and transnational advocacy group are created to lift the condition of
all sectors of the society (Baleña 2016).

What is It
(Background) Institutions
There are different models of social institutions used in different countries nowadays,
most of which are inspired by the long history of their country while others are
influenced by other nations. There are two major types of state or social institutions:
the communist, based on command economy; and the democracy, based on
capitalist economy (Panopio 1995).
Most communist countries, like the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republic (USSR),
and North Korea, are governed by their respective governments alone. They do not
allow private companies or individuals to do business in their land; thus, the people
have no opportunity to choose because the government decide what is best for their
own citizens (Panopio 1995).
Certain organizations help keep these basic institutions in place. Politically, the
Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) helps the government maintain peace and
order throughout its territory. The Local Government Units (LGU) is created to cater
the needs of the local barangays or communities. The Department of Education
(DepEd) ensures the quality of education based on the needs and norms the society.
The different branches of the government create, implement, and interpret the laws
we use as guide for our conduct. These organized, political bodies are called state
institutions. Government-controlled state institutions fulfil the wishes of the
Philippine State: public service and public control. For example, the government may
declare martial law in a troubled area, and the AFP makes sure that this is strictly
followed, whether the people like it or not (De Leon 2008).
10 CO_Q2_UCSP SHS
Module 1
Non-State Institutions
Ideally, in a democratic country, major industries must be under the control of the
state, like banks, petroleum, transportation, and communication because they are
vital in the economy of the country. However, in the recent years, the said industries
are being sold to private entities to carry away the burden from its operation and
maintenance. Today, private corporations headed by executives controls the major
industries in the country with very minimum government supervision, most of these
are petroleum (Shell, Caltex and Petron), telecommunication (Smart, Globe and
PLDT), transportation (Cebu Pacific and Philippine Air Lines), etc. These entities
significantly affect the lives of the people either directly or indirectly (Baleña 2016).
Meanwhile, corporations based on profit (ABS-CBN, GMA 7 and PTV 5) manage most
television networks in the country. They are duty bound to serve the public by giving
current news and information but more so entertainment to attract viewers. The
more viewers a station has, the more product advertisements coming in, and thus
the profit comes along. This is why television networks in the country are becoming
antagonistic as shown in their publicity ratings.
Moreover, if you wish to have a car but do not have the enough money to buy, one
can find a bank that offers car loan arrangements. If one wishes to own a business
but hesitant to fail, he or she may consider the stock market and be a shareholder
in a corporation. If a worker wants a better compensation, he or she may join and be
part of a trade union. These are just some examples of non-state institutions: non-
governmental organizations operating to satisfy many of our short-term and long-
term, small-scale, and large-scale, and tangible and intangible demands (De Leon
2008).
1. Banks help us keep our money, avail different kinds of loan, and exchange
currencies. The accumulated money of the bank is invested to some projects
to gain profit; this is how banks pay their workers and depositors’ interest
depending on the agreed terms.
11 CO_Q2_UCSP SHS
Module 1
Although there are state and non-state banks in the country, both types serve
their respective purposes. Yet, most depositors choose state banks because
the government itself backs it up, thus the possibility of bankruptcy is very
small. On the other hand, corporations or group of individuals manages non-
state banks. Although ensured by the government through the Bangko Sentral
ng Pilipinas, it is but only to a minimum extent. Like in the case of certain
banks, when a bank declares bankruptcy, each depositor could only receive
only a portion of their deposit (Contreras et al. 2016). Examples of banks
include the Bank of the Philippine Islands, Metrobank, and Rizal Commercial
Banking Corporation (RCBC).
3. Trade unions. There are some entrepreneurs who are only after for profit,
and they tend to maximize working hours and minimize wages as much as
possible. This is where the trade union steps in. They look after the well-being
of the workers. Collectively, they raise issues such as low salary, lack of
compensation, etc. to the management that sometimes ends up with work
“stoppage” or strike until the demands of both sides are met. (Contreras et al.
2016).
Trade unions are created to protect the labor force of the country. Workers are
essential to the creation of goods and services for the citizenry. In the
Philippines, the Trade Union Congress of the Philippines has the largest
membership.
4. Cooperatives are made up of people with common interest who agreed to work
together for easy, safe, and affordable access to commodities, loans, and other
services. They are created to help and empower one another with a minimum
help from the government (Contreras et al. 2016). Farmers’ cooperatives and
teachers’ cooperatives are common examples.
12 CO_Q2_UCSP SHS
Module 1
Development agencies works as a bank that provides financial assistance to
important projects. The creation of bridge that connects one province to
another, or road construction that helps ordinary farmers transport their
products may be put into reality through the help of these agencies.
