Abstract
The participation of Civil Society Organizations (CSO) in governance as outlined in the 1987 Philippine Constitution, which ensured the promotion and protection of people’s participation at all “levels of social, political, and economic decision-making”. The study identifies the extent of the Civil Society Organization’s role in the program and policy implementation of the Local Development Council. It also seeks to determine whether the number of members inside the organization influence the Civil Society Organization’s ability to effectively voice issues from the public. The study utilizes a quantitative research design using purposive sampling. The results show a lack of collaboration between both parties and requires further enhancement in terms of the development planning decision-making process.
