 Population and
Sustainable Development
Goals
• The United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs) aim to achieve decent lives for all on a healthy planet
by 2030. As things stand, most of them are likely to be missed.
This is partly because they fail to address human population
growth. Positive, empowering population solutions are key to
meeting the SDGs. Read on to learn about the links between
population and each of the 17 goals.

National Security
• How secured Philippines is in the
present time?
• What are the issues that pose threat
to our country’s security?
 Key Issues in Our National Security

• Territorial dispute (West Philippine Sea)

- middle ground position
- diplomatic engagements
- Bilateral Consultative Mechanism with China was established
-ASEAN-centered negotiations for the Code of Conduct in the South

China Sea was formalized.

 Trans-boundary Issues

• terrorism, drug-trafficking, piracy,

smuggling, and human trafficking
• strong collaborative mechanisms within the
ASEAN framework.
• Illegal drugs
• Terrorism (ISIS, Abu Sayyaf, Maute, BIFF, CPP and other
local communist terrorist groups and extremist groups)
- Whole of Nation Approach
- National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed
Conflict (NTF- ELCAC) via Executive Order (EO) 70
• In this light, the government remained persistent
in implementing the Enhanced Comprehensive
Localized Integration Program (E-CLIP),
wherein rebel returnees have found alternatives
to a life of crime and violence.
HUMAN SECURITY AND NATIONAL
SECURITY
 In the 1994 United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Report, human security was referred to as
having two aspects:

• “…first safety from such chronic threats as hunger,

disease and repression…second, it means protection
from sudden and hurtful disruptions in the patterns of
daily life – whether in homes, in jobs, or in
communities. Such threats can exist at all levels of
national income and development.”
• This was supplemented by an explanation
from the former UN Secretary-General
Kofi Annan which states that:
• “Human security, in its broadest sense, embraces far
more than the absence of violent conflict. It encompasses
human rights, good governance, access to education and
health care and ensuring that each individual has
opportunities and choices to fulfill his or her potential…
• Every step in this direction is also a
step towards reducing poverty, achieving economic growth and
preventing conflict. Freedom from want,
freedom from fear, and the freedom of future generations to
inherit a healthy natural environment – these
are the interrelated building blocks of human – and therefore
national – security.”
According to the United Nations (UN) Commission, Human Security:

• seeks to “protect the vital core of all

human lives in ways that enhance
human freedoms and human
fulfillment”
• requires “protecting people from
critical and pervasive threats” and
"empowering them to take charge
of their own lives"
•“protection and empowerment
are mutually reinforcing and
cannot succeed in isolation”
• Commission puts emphasis on the “need for
comprehensive, integrated and people-
centered solutions that
together can help people develop the
building blocks of survival, livelihood and
dignity
 National Security

• state or condition wherein the values which

a nation treasures such as
territorial integrity, sovereignty, people’s
way of life and well-being are protected and
enhanced.
• It is the requirement to maintain the survival
of the nation-state through the use of
economic military and political power
and the exercise of diplomacy.
 The measures taken to ensure national security include:

•  Using diplomacy to rally allies and isolate

threats;
 Maintaining effective armed forces;
 Implementing civil defense and emergency
preparedness measures (including anti-terrorism
legislation);
•  Ensuring the resilience and security of critical
infrastructure; and
 Using intelligence services to detect and defeat
or avoid threats and espionage, and to protect
classified information.
 In the Philippine context as indicated by the NSC Permanent
Secretariat,

• National Security is described as a

condition or state of being where the Filipino people’s
values, way of life, institutions, welfare, and well-being,
sovereignty and strategic relations are protected and
enhanced.
 The elements of National Security are the
following:

•  Moral-spiritual consensus
 Cultural cohesiveness
 Economic solidarity
 Socio-political stability Ecological balance
 Territorial integrity
 International harmony
• THREE MAJOR PILLARS OF
NATIONAL SECURITY
(National Security Policy 2017-2022,

its social institutions – All citizens share
one national identity that is, being Filipinos regardless of their

• 3. Protection of properties, infrastructures and keeping
the people safe from all forms of threats, both here and
abroad, and to the extent possible, creating jobs in
order to bring back home overseas Filipino workers
where their physical safety can be fully guaranteed by
the Government.
 NATIONAL SECURITY INTEREST

programs (Art. II, Sec. 14, The Philippine
Constitution).
• The Government may call upon the people to
defend the state, and in fulfillment thereof, all

 ROLE OF THE YOUTH IN NATIONAL SECURITY

• “We are addressing youth today, because

youth have placed themselves on the top of the
agenda.”
- Ban Ki-moon, Secretary General of the
United Nation
• In an article entitle “10 Ways Youth Can Make an
Impact”, it provided the youth means to
contribute to the country’s national security. It
emphasized that youth engagement can bring
about social change.
• It sends a message that the youth don’t
have to wait to become adults to be
significant and active members of the
society.
