This study examined the administrative implications of various developmental models on good governance in the Philippines. Grounded in the principles of the 1987 Philippine Constitution, it analyzed how modernization, neoliberal, participatory, and sustainable development frameworks shaped administrative systems and influenced governance outcomes. The modernization model emphasized bureaucratic rationalization and centralized planning to enhance institutional efficiency. In contrast, the neoliberal model promoted market liberalization, privatization, and deregulation, which increased efficiency but often conflicted with constitutional commitments to equity and social justice. The participatory model, institutionalized through the Local Government Code of 1991, advanced decentralization, citizen engagement, and collaborative governance, reflecting constitutional values of democracy and inclusiveness. Meanwhile, the sustainable development model integrates economic, social, and environmental dimensions to ensure long-term progress and ecological accountability. Findings revealed that while each model offered distinct administrative strengths, their effectiveness depended on how well governance systems translated constitutional principles—accountability, transparency, participation, efficiency, and equity—into practice. Persistent challenges such as bureaucratic inefficiency, corruption, and uneven policy implementation hindered the realization of good governance. The study concluded that effective governance emerged from harmonizing developmental frameworks with constitutional mandates and administrative realities. Sustaining inclusive progress required a flexible, participatory, and accountable bureaucracy capable of balancing efficiency with social justice. Ultimately, developmental models functioned best as complementary strategies that upheld the Filipino people’s welfare through ethical, transparent, and inclusive governance.
