The National Defense College of the Philippines (NDCP) invites nominees to the 9th Executive Course on National Security (ECNS) to be held from 24 to 27 April 2007 at the NDCP Honor Hall, Academic Row, Camp General Emilio Aguinaldo. Quezon City.
Now on its 9th series, the ECNS is a 4-day course designed exclusively for executives and senior managers in the government and private sector, Local Chief Executives (LCEs) and senior military and police officers. It aims to provide participants a comprehensive understanding of the theory and practice of national security.
“Speakers during the ECNS include Secretary of National Defense Hermogenes E Ebdane Jr, and National Security Adviser Norberto B Gonzales,“ said NDCP President Commodore Carlos L Agustin AFP (Ret).
The course focuses on the six dimensions of National Security, namely: socio-cultural, political, economic, environmental, techno-scientific and military. A special session on Strategic Policy Formulation introduces the methods and techniques in conducting strategic assessments and in formulating corresponding policy decisions and courses of action. Lastly, an integration session engages participants in an interactive discussion and workshop to synthesize their learning from the course.
Commodore Agustin said, “The course is intended to be highly interactive and dynamic through a combination of lectures and group discussions. It is designed to imbue the participants with an open and holistic perspective.”
Established on 12 August 1963, the NDCP is the government’s key education institution for training and research on defense and security. Through the IECS, the NDCP undertakes extension programs consisting of short- and medium-term courses, seminars, workshops, conferences, lecture series and forums on national security. Tasked to extend the reach of the College, the IECS is one of the three institutes under the Department of Research and Special Studies (DRSS) headed by Commodore Mariano S Sontillanosa AFP (Ret).
