The National Security Council urges government agencies to implement the newly released National Security Strategy (NSS).
In a briefing with Cebu media recently, Vicente Agdamag, deputy director of the NSC said they are calling national and local government agencies to study and implement the NSS which was recently released earlier this year.
“We want all government agencies to come up with their own security plan in line with the NSS,” Agdamag said.
The NSS he said was earlier reviewed by 29 agencies of the government and touches the different fields where security is involved.
“It articulates specific strategies like, the security aspect of agriculture, of environment, of education,” Agdamag said.
The NSS covers pressing security concerns in every region and at the national level.
The action areas include terrorism, insurgency and subversion; transnational organized crimes; criminalities, public safety, rule of law and human rights; and governance.
Among the strategic actions pushed were mandatory Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC), dismantling of private armies, institutionalization of reforms in the Philippine National Police (PNP), modernization of the PNP and the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and even the monitoring of student activism and many others.
Agdamag said by next year, they can already identify who among the agencies have complied with the implementation of the NSS.
To translate President Rodrigo Duterte’s commitment to deliver a more secure, stable, just and prosperous future for the Philippines, the 2017 National Security Policy 2017-2022 was promulgated. It became the basis for the crafting of the NSS which in essence articulates in the operational terms its policies.
Agdamag and the NSC are going around the Philippines for the initial information dissemination on the NSS and NSP.
