International Teacher Education Conference 2014
Scope and Delimitation
As stated in the national strategic guidance of the IPSP culled from His Excellency, President Benigno
Simeon C. Aquino III “the current vision of the national leadership for the Philippines is a country with a reawakened
sense of propriety, organized and widely shared rapid expansion of the economy, mobilized the
people’s skills, responsibly harnessed natural resources, and public institutions rebuilt on the strong solidarity of
our society, and its communities”. Given this broad policy, consultations from various stakeholders must be
done to arrive at a responsive, relevant, and comprehensive national security policy. It is to this end that the
scope of this study intends to contribute through the PA-ARESCOM ROTC.
There are seven (7) elements of national security listed by the National Security Council (NSC) of the
Philippines and adopted by IPSP as the “significant characteristics of the area of operation” under Strategic
Environment. Only three (3) of these seven (7) elements were included in this study namely: ecological
balance, cultural cohesiveness, and moral-spiritual consensus. The remaining four (4) elements which were not
included in the study are: territorial integrity, socio-political stability, economic solidarity, and external peace.
As to the AFP-IPSP “Bayanihan” Winning the Peace, its strategic approach of people-centered security and
the strategic imperative of “involvement of all stakeholders in the pursuit of internal peace and national
security” were used in this study. The study did not include the strategic approach of “whole nation approach”
nor did it deal with the strategic imperative “adherence to human rights, international humanitarian law, and the
rule of law”. Hence, the delimitation of the study in so far as the AFP-IPSP “Bayanihan” is concerned.
