The 5-year National Security Policy of the Philippines is a statement of principles guiding national decision-making that takes into account new challenges in the security environment. It lists seven elements of the country's national security that amplify its national interests, ranging from socio-political stability, territorial integrity, economic solidarity and ecological balance, to cultural cohesiveness, moral-spiritual consensus, as well as peace and harmony. The 2011-2016 National Security Policy of the Philippines focuses on four key elements: (1) Governance; (2) Delivery of Basic Services; (3) Economic Reconstruction and Sustainable Development; and (4) Security Sector Reform.
