Abstract

This study aimed to determine the significant correlation between the participation of private sectors in local governance in terms of local pre-qualification bids and awards committee board, local school board, local health board, local development council, and local peace and order council and its attainment of objectives in terms of ensured viability of local autonomy, promotion of development planning, and creation of united and concentrated action on development goal among cities in South Central Mindanao, Philippines. Descriptive-correlation design using purposive sampling to 300 respondents who were members of the boards/councils, utilizing a researcher-made survey questionnaire validated by experts, tested its reliability on alpha Cronbach, and employed Pearson r correlation. Findings revealed that the Local Pre-qualification Bids and Awards Committee is significantly correlated with the attainment of the private sector participation objectives, such as ensured viability of local governance, promotion of development planning, and unified and concentrated action on development goals. However, the Local Health Board and Local Peace and Order Council do not significantly correlate with ensured viability of local autonomy and creation of united and concentrated action on development goal. The Local Development Council does not significantly correlate with creating a united and focused effort on development goals. Hence, the null hypothesis is partially rejected. The participation of private sectors in the local government’s affairs has widened operations to ensure that community needs are met.
