MESSAGE
History is rich with accounts of how we Filipinos have always sought - and worked for - peace. To this day, real peace continues to be an aspiration for many
Filipinos.
We acknowledge that there remain structural issues that need to be addressed and reforms that must be undertaken. This is what your government is determined to respond to. However, the problems confronting our nation are multi-faceted and complex. They have been extant for so long that a purely military solution is not enough to completely solve them. Efforts to achieve genuine peace and securify must therefore be supported by all.
This is why we are engaging various stakeholders in our peace and security efforts. The AFP Internal Peace and Security Plan (IPSP) opens up space for people 's participation in defining, shaping and ensuring national peace and security. It acknowledges that the contributions of each and every government agency, civil society organization, and even local community, are vital in rcalizing our coilunon goal of making our country safer and more peaceful for the entire population.
I believe in the Filipino 's capacity to bring sustainable peace and security in our country and I shall lead our nation to make this a reality. I call on the Filipino people to take part and to support the AFP in this meaningful endeavor.
Mabuhay ang Sambayanang Pilipino!
