The major purpose of the study is to outline how the institutionalization of funding for Culture and the Arts could be operationalized at the Local Government Units (LGUs) in the Philippines to facilitate the sustainability of cultural programs in Philippine localities. More specifically, this study aims to discuss the status of cultural funding in the Philippines and the challenges that beset the LGUs in operationalizing cultural funding at their level. Using the qualitative approach, the study proceeds with the analysis of the status of cultural funding in the Philippines; data are derived by the researcher as a participant-observer during a national training on Culture-based governance participated in by executives and tourism officers from Philippine LGUs. Gender- Responsive Budgeting is presented as a case of an institutionalized mechanism for financing gender concerns in the country, an illustration of the possibility of implementing institutionalized funding for Culture and the Arts at the level of the LGUs. The operationalization of the institutionalization of cultural funding is then outlined; challenges associated with the process of institutionalizing Culture and the Arts funds are analyzed using Thomas Schmitt’s general framework for the analysis of fields of governance; and recommendations are made as to how these challenges are to be confronted by the LGUs. The institutionalization of cultural funding can only be ultimately realized for the LGUs via a Republic Act. A requisite external to institutionalization is the process of reforming mindsets in understanding Culture and its role in human development; and in shifting existing beliefs to the idea that effective Cultural Governance is equivalent to institutionalizing cultural funding at the Philippine LGUs.

Copyright Notice
Authors should not withdraw their submitted papers because the withdrawal wastes voluntary works devoted by an associate editor and reviewers. But, we accept the withdrawal of a submitted paper if authors have unavoidable reasons. In the event that a manuscript is to be withdrawn from submission to Sampurasun Journal, a letter must be sent to the editorial office requesting withdrawal by e-mail (sampurasunjournal@unpas.ac.id) with its scanned PDF file, before the notification of acceptance for publication.
The withdraw request letter must include the following information. Paper ID, Paper title, Authors names, Reason why the paper must be withdrawn, and Date and signatures of all the authors (or signature of the contact author).
If only the contact author signs the letter, he/she must obtain the agreement of the withdrawal from all the other authors and the letter must include the description that all the other authors agreed the withdrawal. The journal will not withdraw a manuscript from peer review until such a letter has been received. Authors must not assume their manuscript has been withdrawn until they have received appropriate notification from the editorial office. Withdrawal of a manuscript subsequent to acceptance for publication will only be granted in the most exceptional of circumstances.
After the paper is accepted for publication, the withdrawal is not permitted in principle. The authors must always pay the charge even if the withdrawal is permitted. Any request of withdrawal that does not follow the above procedure is treated as invalid. If illegal submission, e.g., plagiarized or duplicate submission, is found for a paper, the withdrawal of the paper will never be permitted and the authors will be punished based on the rule. It is not acceptable practice to withdraw a manuscript in the event of acceptance at another journal. This constitutes dual submission. The editorial office of the other journal will be notified of your actions. In such circumstances Sampurasun ISCH may chose to impose appropriate punitive action subject.
Withdrawal Penalty
Author is not allowed to withdraw submitted manuscripts, because the withdrawal is waste of valuable resources that editors and referees spent a great deal of time processing submitted manuscript, money and works invested by the publisher. If author still requests withdrawal of his/her manuscript when the manuscript is still in the peer-reviewing process, author will be punished with paying $200 per manuscript, as withdrawal penalty to the publisher. However, it is unethical to withdraw a submitted manuscript from one journal if accepted by another journal. The withdrawal of manuscript after the manuscript is accepted for publication, author will be punished by paying US$500 per manuscript. Withdrawal of manuscript is only allowed after withdrawal penalty has been fully paid to the Publisher. If author don't agree to pay the penalty, the author and his/her affiliation will be blacklisted for publication in this journal. Even, his/her previously published articles will be removed from our online system.
