By authority of the President, Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin signed Executive Order (EO) No. 37 on Aug. 10.

Based on the copy of the EO shared with the media on Saturday, Aug. 12, the NSP 2023-2028 was formulated to provide guidance and a comprehensive approach to improving security sector governance to address national security challenges effectively.

It was crafted following coordination and consultation with key government agencies and instrumentalities with the participation of various stakeholders.

President Marcos highlighted the need to harmonize the government's national security efforts and ensure that they are responsive and complementary to the development goals and objectives set in the Philippine Development Plan (PDP) 2023 to 2028.

All national government agencies (NGAs) and instrumentalities and local government units (LGUs) must adopt the NSP 2023-2028 in formulating and implementing security-related strategies and programs.

They must also actively participate in implementing the NSP 2023-2028 to achieve a whole-of-government approach to addressing national security issues and priorities consistent with their mandates in their respective areas of expertise or jurisdiction.

The National Security Adviser (NSA) must conduct a periodic assessment and submit reports to the President and the National Security Council (NSC) on the implementation of the NSP and coordinate with various national government agencies and instrumentalities.

"For this purpose, the NSC, through the NSA, shall monitor the implementation of the NSP 2023-2028, and, upon consultation with and concurrence of relevant government agencies, GOCCS, and LGUs, shall propose memoranda, circulars, and other orders related to the implementation thereof, for the approval of the President," the EO read.

In addition, all national security-related strategies and the plans and programs of all NGAs and instrumentalities must be aligned with the NSP 2023-2028 for its successful whole-of-government implementation.
