What Do We Do
Institutional Pillars
The Pasig City CSO Academy (PCCA) stands on the shoulders of people and institutions whose dedication, faith, and collective work made this journey possible. This website or Knowledge Resource Center (KRC) is a tribute to their commitment to building a city where participation is not just encouraged but embraced as a way of governance and community life.
We express our deepest appreciation to the Pasig City Local Government Unit, whose leadership and vision created an environment where civil society can thrive. Your openness to partnership and your belief in people-centered governance made this Academy possible.
To the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) – Pasig Field Office, thank you for your technical guidance and unwavering support in strengthening CSO engagement. Your expertise and mentorship helped shape the backbone of our programs.
To our academic partners—the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Pasig (PLP) and the Rizal Technological University (RTU), we extend our heartfelt gratitude. You helped mold the curriculum, brought academic rigor to our modules, and nurtured learners with both knowledge and values.
A special recognition is extended to Advocacies in Praxis for Leadership & Community Development, as a Civil Society Organization, our pioneering member whose passion and persistence helped propel the creation of the Pasig City CSO Academy. You are the first to believe in this vision—sacrificing time, initiating countless meetings, lobbying for support, and sustaining the energy that moved this initiative forward. Beyond your role as a learning and development partner, your patience, facilitation expertise, and ability to turn complex ideas into empowering learning experiences have been vital to the Academy’s growth.
Most importantly, we thank the civil society organizations of Pasig City, the beating pulse of this Academy. Your leadership, courage, and commitment to your communities are what make participatory governance possible. To everyone who walked with us, from planning to implementation, from ideation to action, this coffee table book is for you.
Maraming salamat po.
Together, we continue the journey toward a more inclusive, participatory, and empowered Pasig City.
