Recto Stresses Human Security for Dignity, Economic Stability

Human Security The Foundation of National Prosperity in 2025

In a recent speech at the National Security Summit 2025 in Taguig City, Executive Secretary Ralph Recto emphasized the importance of human security as the foundation for national prosperity. This emphasis on human security is crucial for a successful 2025, where individuals must navigate complex challenges to thrive.

Recto highlighted that true security goes beyond the absence of conflict; it means providing opportunities for every individual and family to live with dignity. He acknowledged that weak governance and institutional challenges, such as corruption, misuse of public funds, and lack of transparency, pose significant risks to national security. However, he emphasized that prioritizing human security is essential to ensure that every Filipino family can live with dignity.

To achieve this goal, Recto cited the administration's commitment to fiscal discipline and programs that genuinely benefit the Filipino people. These initiatives include strengthening food security, expanding universal healthcare, investing in education and workforce development, and promoting good governance reforms.

The administration has committed to pushing for reforms aimed at improving transparency and accountability, including an anti-political dynasty bill, reforming the party-list system, and providing public access to government expenditures. This strategic synergy across all sectors – including uniformed forces, policy leaders, academics, civil society, industry, and local communities – is critical for achieving human security.

Recto commended the National Security Council for aligning the National Security Strategy 2024 with the Philippine Development Plan, noting it was a renewed commitment to safeguard the hopes and dreams of every Filipino family. The emphasis on human security is essential in today's complex world, where individual safety, economic stability, and dignity are interconnected.
