How does the new government of President Benigno S. Aquino III perceive national security challenges, and how will the government respond to them? This paper examines several primary documents and gives an account of the security environment prevailing in the Philippines. It also gives an overview of the national security policy framework that the Aquino administration uses in responding to security challenges. This paper also contributes to existing theoretical debates on the nexus between human security and national security through its analysis of the development of human security and national security thought in the Philippines. It points out that empirical evidence shows that national security is not state-centric, but rather human-centric in conception, and that this approach has been institutionalized over time. The main findings are: 1) The Philippines is beset by various global, regional,and domestic challenges; 2) these challenges are traditional and non-traditional in nature and thus taken up comprehensively by the Philippines; and 3) the Philippines uses a human security approach to its national security concerns. This approach has been accepted by the armed and defense services as the means by which they will also implement their mandates. Such an approach is only a fulfillment of the Philippines’own constitutional provision which identifies the people as the source of sovereignty. The human security approach, however, needs to be further institutionalized through implementation and effective policy frameworks.
Abstract
How does the new government of President Benigno S. Aquino III perceive national security challenges, and how will the government respond to them? This paper examines several primary documents and gives an account of the security environment prevailing in the Philippines.

This paper also contributes to existing theoretical debates on the nexus between human security and national security through its analysis of the development of human security and national security thought in the Philippines. It points out that empirical evidence shows that national security is not state-centric, but rather human-centric in conception, and that this approach has been institutionalized over time. The main findings are: 1) The Philippines is beset by various global, regional,and domestic challenges; 2) these challenges are traditional and non-traditional in nature and thus taken up comprehensively by the Philippines; and 3) the Philippines uses a human security approach to its national security concerns. This approach has been accepted by the armed and defense services as the means by which they will also implement their mandates. Such an approach is only a fulfillment of the Philippines’own constitutional provision which identifies the people as the source of sovereignty.
