Abstract
The role and significance of the government corporate sector on the financial position of
the Philippine Government and Economy remain to be important and influential up to
this day. The Government Corporations are established for specific purposes and with
specific mandates to help address market failures. Consequently, many of these
enterprises operate inefficiently and become a huge drain on the states finances, as
well as, some of them were linked to the alleged misuse of the pork barrel or Priority
Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) of lawmakers. This paper provides a synthesis
on the basic information about the Philippines government-owned and controlled
corporations (GOCCs) and the context on whether there is a need to abolish them or
just create reforms to improve their performance. Undertaking reforms on these
enterprises necessitate not only a substantial amount of time and finances, but also a
well-built institutional capabilities and political will. The actions on making decisions for
these corporations are complicated since they are made to enhance the social welfare
of the country.
