The National Defense College of
the Philippines (NDCP), Career Executive
Service Board (CESB), Development Academy of the Philippines (DAP), National Defense College of the Philippines Alumni
Association, Inc. (NDCPAAI), and National
Union of Career Executive Service Officers,
Inc. (NUCESO) entered into a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) last 31 January
2012 at the NDCP Auditorium, Camp General Emilio Aguinaldo, Quezon City.
The said MOA embodies the general policy and the implementing rules and
regulations to facilitate the integration of
the competency standards of the fourstage 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 leaders with more tools to sculpt our nation’s
future.
Dr Fermin R de Leon Jr, NDCP
President, sees the harmonization as enriching not only the College’s academic
standards but also its students’ career credentials and potentials as it prepares them

FROM THE CHAIRMAN
At this glorious
time, I also urge
all stakeholders
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
thirdthird-level
managers.
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 Aguinaldo, 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 Executive 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 stakeholders 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 professionals man our various battlements. It is incumbent
upon us in government to guarantee the best training and education for our leaders, and whenever
possible, transform these into strategic opportunities.
HON JEJOMAR C BINAY, MNSA
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 cooperation 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 nation.
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 determine 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 meticulous 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 involvements.
We have raised the bar and I believe that it shall
rise further in the near future. In continuing to examine 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 government agencies for timely enterprises. I can also
assure you of the support of the NDCP Alumni Association 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 partnership 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!

NDCP-CESB MOA
(CONT’N)
to be more qualified and responsive to
the demands of civil service.
More importantly, as NDCP
contributes to the AFP’s pool of reservist officers with every MNSA
graduating class, so too will the College contribute to the civil service’s
pool of career executive service officers with an MNSA education.
Joining Vice President Binay in
signing the MOA were CESB Chair
Bernardo P Abesamis, NDCP President Fermin R de Leon Jr PhD MNSA,
DAP President Antonio D Kalaw Jr
CESO I, and NUCESO President Corazon C Davis CESO II. Standing in as
witnesses during the MOA signing
were CESB Executive Director Ma Anthonette V Allones MNSA CESO I,
NDCPAAI Secretary-General Shirley
Marie Pelaez-Plaza MNSA, and the CoChairs of the Technical Working Group
which drafted the MOA, BGen Ernesto
R Aradanas MNSA AFP, and CESB
Deputy Executive Director Arturo M
Lachica, CESO II.
The activity was attended by
senior officials from the Department
of National Defense and the Armed
Forces of the Philippines, together
with members of MNSA Regular Class
47 of the NDCP and the AFP Command and General Staff College Class
No. 55.
