The National Defense College of

the Philippines (NDCP), Career Executive

Service Board (CESB), Development Acad-

emy of the Philippines (DAP), National De-

fense College of the Philippines Alumni

Association, Inc. (NDCPAAI), and National

Union of Career Executive Service Officers,

Inc. (NUCESO) entered into a Memoran-

dum of Agreement (MOA) last 31 January

2012 at the NDCP Auditorium, Camp Gen-

eral Emilio Aguinaldo, Quezon City.

The said MOA embodies the gen-

eral policy and the implementing rules and

regulations to facilitate the integration of

the competency standards of the four-

stage eligibility process into the one-year

master in National Security Administration

(MNSA) program of the NDCP. Beginning

with the ongoing MNSA class, all NDCP

graduates henceforth may be conferred

CES eligibility together with their degree

upon graduation.

Vice President Jejomar C Binay

MNSA, the Chairman of the Board and

President of the NDCPAAI, considers the

integration of the NDCP and CESB systems

and processes as a potent instrument for

revolutionizing the Civil Service, and does

not only benefit future NDCP alumni but

also the bureaucracy by providing our lead-

ers with more tools to sculpt our nation’s

future.

Dr Fermin R de Leon Jr, NDCP

President, sees the harmonization as en-

riching not only the College’s academic

standards but also its students’ career cre-

dentials and potentials as it prepares them

Excerpts of the Speech of Vice President

Jejomar C. Binay, MNSA during the Signing of

the CESB-NDCP-NDCPAAI-NUCESO-DAP

Memorandum of Agreement on “Incorporating

the Competency Standards of CES Eligibility

into the MNSA Program,” Auditorium, National

Defense College of the Philippines, Camp Agui-

naldo, Quezon City, 31 January 2012, 8:30

a.m.

Today is a milestone that many NDCP Alumni could

only dream of. As the NDCP Alumni Chairman and

President, I commend the Career Executive Service

Board and our alma mater, the National Defense

College of the Philippines, for taking this significant

first step together and agreeing to integrate their

respective systems and processes for the benefit of

future NDCP alumni and prospective Career Execu-

tive Service Officers.

The pioneers beneficiaries of this agreement are the

members of the MNSA Regular Course-47 and the

officer-students from my other alma mater, the AFP

Command and General Staff College.

The partnership that we forged today is a potent

instrument for revolutionizing the Civil Service. The

MOA we accomplished demonstrates that our sense

of duty matches the tides of our times. Our resolve

provides not just the hope of change but results and

proof. At this glorious time, I also urge all stake-

holders to apply the same resolve and urgency to

look into the standing concern of many NDCP

alumni, especially those from the civilian government

sector, who have served our country with distinction

as third-level managers.

Indeed, today we disprove the mistaken notion that

bureaucracies are hampered by inertia and are slow

to change. In the mission of molding leaders for the

government’s service, the NDCP and the CESB are

more united than ever as partners.

The challenges that we face as a nation are new

fronts which demand that the most capable profes-

sionals man our various battlements. It is incumbent

upon us in government to guarantee the best train-

ing and education for our leaders, and whenever

possible, transform these into strategic opportunities.

By integrating the CES eligibility process and the

MNSA program of the NDCP, each becomes more

than just a brick in the edifice of State. The coop-

eration unleashes a wealth of skill and talent into

both areas, and causes new strength to surge in our

capabilities and what we deem possible for the na-

tion.

All of our institutions select the best men and

women they can, and in the screening measures we

employ, we seek to sort grain from chaff and deter-

mine which of the candidates has the potential to

lead. In the crucible of our organizations, we grant

not just the opportunity to extract these talents but

to provide the tools and training needed to hasten

their maturity.

By joining forces, our union produces more than

what each of us could do alone. We not only have

senior executives who have gone through the me-

ticulous CESO process, we also have government

executives who have acquired that strategic

national security framework and are able to apply

this incisive thinking to all of their professional in-

volvements.

We have raised the bar and I believe that it shall

rise further in the near future. In continuing to ex-

amine where we can push the envelope, perhaps

you will permit me to suggest a few ideas for future

partnerships. The incorporation of national security

tracks and studies into executive training may be

something that the CESB can consider. The NDCP is

certainly more than willing to help, as they have

never shied away from working with other govern-

ment agencies for timely enterprises. I can also

assure you of the support of the NDCP Alumni Asso-

ciation any time this should be required.

Charles de Gaulle once remarked that “all those

who can get the best out of others, have always

identified themselves with high ideals.” We have

managed to proclaim the excellence we wish to live.

Our next task is to make this MOA and this partner-

ship work.

I have every reason to be confident that all of you

can get others to do their best. It is my firmest

conviction that we will make this work. Mabuhay

ang ating bansang Pilipinas! Mabuhay tayong lahat!

to be more qualified and responsive to

the demands of civil service.

More importantly, as NDCP

contributes to the AFP’s pool of re-

servist officers with every MNSA

graduating class, so too will the Col-

lege contribute to the civil service’s

pool of career executive service offi-

cers with an MNSA education.

Joining Vice President Binay in

signing the MOA were CESB Chair

Bernardo P Abesamis, NDCP Presi-

dent Fermin R de Leon Jr PhD MNSA,

DAP President Antonio D Kalaw Jr

CESO I, and NUCESO President Cora-

mand and General Staff College Class
