The Philippine Cultural Education Program of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts: Retooling the Program Towards a Culture-based Education for Public Governance Researcher: Jacille Dane Reyes Cayabyab Degree: Master in Public Administration Institution: Polytechnic University of the Philippines Year: 2019 Adviser: Dr. Floriño A. Ibañez This study aimed to retool the cultural education flagship program of NCCA -the Philippine Cultural Education Program towards a culture-based education for public governance. The concept was to propose a culture-based education program in retooling public administration so that PUP MPA graduate students who are currently in the public service or those who will be in the future will have a deeper understanding and appreciation in the prevailing Filipino culture in public governance, and to realize its advantages in strengthening public administration. The researcher utilized a mixed-methodology design; a sequential exploratory type of research wherein qualitative data collection and analysis is followed by quantitative data collection and analysis. The study involved public administration professors and experts inside and outside the University as interview key informants. It also involved selected past and present MPA students from the Polytechnic University of the Philippines as respondents for the survey conducted. The results from the gathered data revealed that it is necessary to consider and include a cultural aspect of education in the teaching of Public Administration in the graduate program of PUP to fully understand and realize a public administration that could fit Filipinos, distinctively. Also, from the perceptions of the professors and experts interviewed, contextualization of Filipino culture should be studied for better analysis and criticism of the prevailing public administration in the country.
