This study assessed the Strategic Performance Management System (SPMS) based on a systematic review and synthesis of its implementation in selected Philippine national government agencies, specifically the Department of Interior and Local Government, the Department of Education, and the Commission on Higher Education. It provides an overview, discusses the cultural and administrative context, summarizes previous assessments done from 2013 to 2017, and offers recommendations. Overall, SPMS is theoretically viable but has several flaws preventing effective implementation in these agencies. To mitigate adverse effects, SPMS should be redesigned to appeal to intrinsic motivators and focus on individual improvement. Performance management processes should be streamlined, and a more agile methodology adopted. In the long term, the SPMS should be updated over time so that it aligns well with Filipino culture and the goals of the Philippine bureaucracy.
