In Southeast Asia, the Philippines is known to have the largest and most active concentration of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) per capita NGOs became important catalyst of change and served as a constant if not irritating reminder to the government of their unfinished and continuing work for social development and democracy. Despite the rapid economic growth, the Philippines still faces the problem of unemployment due to mismatch of skills of graduates and market priorities. The Senior program of the government attempts to solve this problem. This study explored how the capacity interventions of the Philippine Business for Social Progress’s Bayanihang Pampaaralan program contribute in the implementation of the said reform. Co- production theory of Ostrom was utilized to describe and explain the process that led to the co-production process and delivery of social services, specifically, the education while using Qualitative type of research. The study would suggest that service to provide education cannot be formed by a government alone. It requires the active participation of different actors like the students, parents and other entities.
