The document summarizes the key components of the Philippine Administrative System (PAS). It defines the PAS as a network of public organizations with specific goals, policies, structures, resources and programs. It identifies five main components: 1) public organizations created by law to undertake defined functions, 2) internal processes and interactions between organizations, 3) implementing, helping formulate and assessing public policies, 4) individuals, groups and communities as clients, and 5) the greater socio-political and economic environment. The power of the PAS stems from being an arm of the government, enforcing public policy, providing services, participating in policy formulation, technical expertise, and nationwide presence.
