'This Users’ Guide provides basic information on various institutions engaged in establishing and identifying governance indicators generally used in the Philippines.

It does not prescribe or endorse any indicator or any one set of indicators, but briefly catalogues the institutions and agencies in the Philippines having sources of information that can serve as indicators of governance in the country.

The guide also presents and assembles data on the institutions generating possible governance indicators information, their location and contact numbers, how they generate data, how the indicators they use are determined and measured, and the frequency by which these are released.'
