An estimated 90% of all confirmed COVID-19 cases occur in rural and urban areas around the world, where all industries and sectors have been severely impacted. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted and intensified many of the difficulties and uncertainties local governments face in carrying out their responsibilities. Apart from restoring normalcy, local governments in the National Capital Region face specific challenges, as they must double their efforts and interventions to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), as well as restore and reinforce community resilience in both short and long-term response and action. Local government plays a significant role in providing social services in normal times and ensures that these public services are accessible in times of adversity and distress, as well as acting as first responders in disaster prevention, rescue, and restoration. While the world has not yet crossed everyone, and some issues remain unresolved, the author agrees that unprecedented decisions and good practices from neighboring countries should have been taken to protect citizens, especially the most vulnerable. The author examined and reviewed the various mechanisms used by various local governments in Metro Manila, as well as the SDG framework, to analyze the challenges and good practices for local responses to the pandemic and mitigating its effects. The author finds that identifying the challenges faced by various local governments in Metro Manila as well as how they deal with these challenges and recognizing their good practices would aid local governments in long-term sustainability planning and development.

[EN] During the last decades of the eighteenth century, the Valencian architect and academic Vicent Gascó Masot (1734 – 1802) designed different works for the city of Xàtiva (Valencia), renamed at the time as Colonia Nueva de San Felipe. His actions give a good account of the needs related to urban planning and public works of a populous urban nucleus at the end of the Old Regime, and of the control exercised on said aspects from the academic and governmental instances. Similarly, these works can be interpreted as significant pieces in Gascó's architectural production, representative of his way of doing in the dual facet of academic architect (bridges of the Montesa river and Carnssers cliff, portes del Lleó and the Banys) and expert in hydraulic (siphon of the Santa irrigation canal). In the following pages we try to approach the knowledge of these works from these two prisms. ; [CA] Durant les darreres dècades del segle XVIII, l'arquitecte i acadèmic valencià Vicent Gascó Masot (1734 – 1802) projectà distintes obres per a la ciutat de Xàtiva (València), rebatejada a l'època com Colonia Nueva de San Felipe. Les seues actuacions donen bon conter de les necessitats relatives a l'urbanisme i l'obra pública d'un nucli urbà populós en les acaballes de l'Antic Règim, i del control exercit sobre dits aspectes des de les instàncies acadèmiques i governatives. D'igual forma, aquestes obres poden ser interpretades com a peces significatives en la producció arquitectònica de Gascó, representatives de la seua manera de fer en la doble faceta d'arquitecte acadèmic (ponts del riu de Montesa i barranc dels Carnissers, portes del Lleó i els Banys) i expert en hidràulica (sifó de la sèquia Santa). En les següents pàgines tractem d'acostar-nos al coneixement de dites obres des d'aquests dos prismes. ; [ES] Durante las últimas décadas del siglo XVIII, el arquitecto y académico valenciano Vicent Gascó Masot (1734-1802) proyectó distintas obras por la ciudad de Xàtiva (Valencia), rebautizada en la época como Colonia Nueva de San ...

S'ha parlat molt en els darrers anys sobre el potencial dels webs per a incrementar l'accés als museus i obrir-los a nous públics. Però, en concret, què s'està fent en aquesta línia i amb quina efectivitat? Quines estratègies i accions emprenen els museus per a aprofitar el potencial del web? Què s'està fent per a establir lligams més estrets amb els públics habituals o per a atraure nous públics? Quina és la resposta del públic a aquests esforços? L'autora mira de respondre aquests interrogants en el context del Regne Unit, a partir de les entrevistes fetes a set museus nacionals i de l'anàlisi d'algunes experiències exemplars, tot plegat en un context polític favorable al desenvolupament d'aquesta nova àrea de treball. ; Many authors argue that digital technologies, and particularly the World Wide Web, have great potential to serve the challenges faced by museums in relation to access and audience development, which involves reaching and nurturing both existing and new audiences. But what initiatives are there, and how effective are they? What strategies and actions are museums undertaking to take advantage of this potential? What is it being done to establish closer ties with core audiences or to attract new audiences? And what is the audience response to the museums' efforts? The British experience in this field is of particular interest because it shows a political context favourable to the development of this emerging area of museum work, and it provides some remarkable and exemplary cases from which to learn good practices. ; Se ha hablado mucho en los últimos años del potencial de los webs para incrementar el acceso a los museos y abrirlos a nuevos públicos. Pero, en concreto, ¿qué se está haciendo en esta línea y con qué efectividad?, ¿qué estrategias y acciones emprenden los museos para aprovechar el potencial del web?, ¿qué se está haciendo para establecer vínculos más estrechos con los públicos habituales o para atraer a nuevos públicos?, ¿cuál es la respuesta del público a estos esfuerzos? La autora trata de responder a estos interrogantes en el contexto del Reino Unido, a partir de las entrevistas realizadas en siete museos nacionales y del análisis de algunas experiencias ejemplares, todo ello en un contexto político favorable al desarrollo de esta nueva área de trabajo.

Dear colleagues, Welcome to the "Journal of Policy & Governance"! In my opinion, an editorial may reflect the general direction of the journal, values, strategy, priorities, goals and objectives, and so on. This is the first edition of the Journal of Policy & Governance where I act as the Editor-in-Chief. The title of the journal includes two key concepts, the "Policy" and the "Governance", and they are crucial for the target audience of the journal. That is, the field of "Policy Science": policy cycle, problem identification for analysis, policy environment, resources, stakeholders' analysis, communications (strategic, multilevel, etc.), policy tools and evaluation, etc. Also, these are values, objectives and methodology of the research and policy analysis, policy as the process and reasons for state intervention, evidence-based policy, quantitative and qualitative methods of data processing and the formation of evidence in the policy process and so on. The field of governance is also valuable for research: democratic, good, sensitive, multilevel, digital, and so on: Service State, public consultation, and interaction between government, business and civil society in the policy-making process. Common decisions, power and out of power policy makers, leadership, analysts and policy actors also require semantic and empirical content in the articles of the journal.

El Rey Dom Dinis de Portugalie et Algarbii (1279-1325), nieto de Alfonso X de Castilla y creador de una importante corte literaria, constituye el hilo conductor de una política centralista ante los privilegios de la nobleza. Su conjunto tumular en el monasterio cisterciense de Odivelas (honor) es la expresión de aquella identidad conferida al reino, donde su poder y memoria quedan asociados a la triple casuística apologética que conlleva la fama: jurídica, moral e histórica. Junto a la superioridad mística del Rex Gratia Dei (honra), su enterramiento trata de incidir en la «muerte propia del individuo» mediante un relieve sobre su confesión pública que apela a la «buena muerte», cara a la sentencia final ; King Dom Dinis of «Portugalie et Algarbii» (1279), grandson of Alfonso X of Castile and creator of an important literary court, represents the connecting thread of a centralizing politics against the privileges of the nobility. His burial complex in the Cistercian monastery of Odivelas (honor) is the expression of that identity conferred on the kingdom, where his power and memoria are associated with a triple apologetic casuistry: legal, moral, and historical (fama). Together with the mystical superiority of the King «Gratia Dei» (honra), his burial attempts to emphasize the «proper death of the individual» by way of a relief showing his public confession, which appeals to the «good death» with a view to the final sentence

Estamos entrando en un nuevo ciclo económico al que podríamos denominar «economía de la reputación». El detonante para este cambio de tendencia ha sido la crisis iniciada en 2008-2009. La pérdida de confianza se ha generalizado, afecta tanto a las empresas como a los gobiernos. La recuperación de la confianza es una tarea prioritaria para la superación de la crisis económica. El autor argumenta que la buena gestión de las marcas y de la reputación son la palanca para recuperar la confianza y hoy son las empresas quienes están mejor posicionadas para impulsar esta gestión de los intangibles estratégicos. La clave para esta recuperación reside en comprender y saber gestionar las redes sociales y las relaciones con los stakeholders puesto que son los «iguales» y los expertos son las únicas fuentes de información sobre empresas e instituciones que tienen credibilidad en los ciudadanos. El autor presenta la creación del laboratorio de ideas Corporate Excellence - Centre for Reputation Leadership, como una iniciativa empresarial que nace en este contexto con el objetivo de ayudar a las empresas y al sector público a gestionar mejor los intangibles clave (reputación, marca y comunicación) y argumenta la utilidad de esta iniciativa para la recuperación de la confianza y para competir en este nuevo contexto de la economía de la reputación. ; We are entering a new economic cycle, which may be named «the reputation economy» —a trend that was triggered by the crisis that started in 2008-2009, when the loss of trust affected both businesses and governments. The recovery of trust is essential for overcoming the economic crisis. The author argues that good reputation management may serve as a tool for restoring trust and today the business sector is in a better position for promoting management of strategic intangible assets. In order to restore trust, it is fundamental to understand and be able to manage social networks as well as relations with the stakeholders due to the fact that peers and experts are the only sources of information on companies and institutions that still enjoy trust of the individuals. The author presents the think tank Corporate Excellence - Centre for Reputation Leadership as a project initiated in this context with an objective to help companies and the public sector to improve management of key intangible assets (the reputation, the brand and the communication). The author argues the utility of this initiative in order to restore trust and successfully compete in this new context of the reputation economy.
