NATIONAL SECURITY POLICY 2017-2022 For change and well-being of the Filipino
People
Question:
I. Among the following National Security Interests, choose the top five most critical for
the Philippines. For each item chosen, provide an explanation why you think this is
most important for the Philippines.

1. Public Safety, Law and Order and Justice


A country that is guaranteed security for its citizens is a country that
one would prefer to live in. With Public safety, proper implementation of the
law, maintaining order, and serving justice, the Philippines will definitely
prosper considering that it abides by the constitution in every aspect that there
is.
2. Socio-Political Stability
3. Territorial Integrity
4. Economic Solidarity and Sustainable Development
These two are very much related to each other. Economic solidarity is
giving priority to finances and/or funding, and this will surely aid with
sustainable development. Sustainable development can be achieved through
projects and programs aided by economic solidarity; this does not only end
here. Cooperation of the citizens as well as the government is needed in order
to achieve these. The Philippines, being a country with an abundance of
natural resources, is a country that really needs this.
5. Ecological Balance
6. Cultural Cohesiveness
7. Moral and Spiritual Consensus
The Philippines is dominated by the Christian religion, and nowadays,
the State and the Church often clash with regard to its ideals, principles, and
beliefs. Having moral and spiritual consensus in our country can be a great
stepping stone in order to achieve order amongst Filipinos. If this would be
achieved, this would very much help not only the education sector but also
with our judicial system. Most importantly, this will help in eradicating social
inequality.
8. International Peace and Cooperation
The Philippines is a country that really needs allies. This one is very
critical considering that we have somewhat had disputes with different
countries like the ongoing territorial dispute that we are having right now.
Ensuring international peace and cooperation does not mean that our country
will be submissive to others just to have their alliance. This means that our
country should be promoted through diplomatic means. Achieving this will not
only help our country grow and prosper, but also help its citizens realize that
the Philippines can be a country that is acknowledged in the international
community.

9. Maritime and Airspace Security


10. International Security
11. Information and Cyber Security

In this modern era, cyber crime is being evident. Our security does not
only cover crimes committed in person but also crimes committed with just a
single click. Our information basically resides digitally in this era. Cyber crimes
such as child pornography, cyber bullying, and the like are very evident in our
country. Even the deprivation of data privacy happens every now and then. I
consider this as an important national security interest because our country is
not very advanced compared to other countries. We need skillful people who
can serve as protectors for those being burdened by information and cyber
insecurity.

12. Transportation and Port Security


II. 12-POINT NATIONAL SECURITY AGENDA
1.Human and Political Security: Effectively respond to the complexity of both old and new
security threats to the safety, welfare and well-being of Filipinos. It is an important element
to protect the core of human lives and institutions in ways that enhance peace, unity,
freedom, democracy and people’s dignity.
2.Health Security: Enhance the quality of life of Filipinos by preventing and mitigating the
effects of infectious diseases as well as interdicting illegal and hazardous agents (e.g.
chemical, biological and radiological contrabands) including illegal drugs that destroy the
future generations of Filipinos.
3.Economic and Financial Security: Harness science and technology for global
competitiveness, level the economic playing field, promote multi-resource economy that
guarantees the interests of the next generation, develop infrastructure and tourism
attractiveness, and enable our people to innovate and upgrade their capabilities to protect
their livelihood and resources. Pursue the development of financial institutions which are
essential mechanisms for productive enterprises.
4.Food and Water Security: Promote food security in the country by addressing the
causes of food shortage and inaccessibility to food supply (e.g. low production due to
natural calamities and conversion of agricultural lands to subdivisions and other commercial
land uses); improving agricultural productivity to include livestock, poultry and fishery; and
pursuing modern agricultural technology through corporate and cooperative arrangement.
Develop additional water impounding and irrigation systems and safeguard access to
quality water to preserve ecosystem, sustain livelihood, health and food nutrition, and
achieve socio-economic development.
5.Military and Border Security: Achieve upgraded defense capability, to assume
responsibility for security, protect the country from internal and external threats, and
strengthen national sovereignty by modernizing the capabilities of our core security sectors.
6.Socio-Cultural Security: Heighten consciousness and pride in the Filipino heritage and
values.
7.Environment and Disaster Security: Guarantee the right to live in green and
environment-friendly conditions, preserve and develop these conditions, and protect the
eco-systems from damages brought about by the people’s destructive practices on land, air
and marine life. In addition, enhance our disaster preparedness through preventive and
mitigating mechanisms from natural and/or human-induced emergencies that may impact
on our environment and the safety of our citizenry.
8.Energy Security: Secure and protect energy supply throughout the country and pursue
the sustainment of existing sources and the development of alternative sources of energy to
support the demands of economic enterprises and households and contribute to the global
efforts to address climate change.
9.Maritime and Airspace Security: Ensure safety of life and protection of trade and
marine resources against piracy, poaching, illegal intrusion, terrorism, and human and drug
trafficking at sea. In addition, ensure safe and secure airspace by improving airspace
security measures and capabilities in space-based radar systems and satellites. .
10.International Security: Maintain an independent foreign policy in the community of
nations, and ensure a stable and secure international environment for the country and
people to thrive as a nation, politically, economically, socially and ecologically.
11.Information and Cyber Security: Safeguard our classified action plans and programs,
sensitive government intentions, and state secrets from espionage, cyber attacks and other
hostile actions to protect and preserve national security interests.
12.Transportation and Port Security: Strengthen the integration and modernization of
multi-modal transport systems (i.e. land, sea and air), and thereby securing the mobility of
people, goods, services and commerce.
