6.3 The role of the Cabinet and the functions of government agencies | Week 6 Lesson 3 | PPG

Who actually carries out government policies and delivers public services? In Week 6 Lesson 3, we examine the role of the Cabinet and the functions of government agencies within the Philippine Executive Branch. Building on the previous lessons on the presidential form of government and the roles and powers of the President and Vice President, this lesson focuses on the administrative side of executive government—how policies are translated into programs, services, and action. Lesson Coverage The Cabinet Role of Cabinet Secretaries Cabinet and Executive Administration Executive Departments Government Agencies Departments vs. Agencies Policy Implementation Public Administration and Public Service Selected Executive Departments and Their Functions Coordination Among Government Institutions Accountability in Government Administration From Government Policy to Public Service 📌 Note: The lesson presents only selected executive departments and agencies as examples. Learners are not expected to memorize all of them. The goal is to understand how government responsibilities are divided among specialized institutions and how these institutions serve the public. Motivational Activity Guess the Logo: Who Serves the Public? Learners identify selected Philippine government departments and agencies based on their logos and discuss: What services or programs do these institutions provide to citizens? The activity introduces the idea that government responsibilities are distributed among different specialized institutions.
