Editorial
Change is coming
Change is coming. This is the battlecry of the
incoming Administration; a battlecry that reverberates across all regions of the country. As for PPSC we
echo the same. This was the similar battlecry that
we embraced two years ago wherein we translated
this into a Strategic Plan Vision 2020 Accelerate that
laid the foundations of PPSC’s transformation journey; a journey towards quality and excellent public
safety training. This has also become the backdrop
of the roadmaps that we architect for the different
Constitutive Units (CUs) anchored on our Ten-Point
Strategic Goals ACCELERATE, giving emphasis on
enhancing the curriculum, strengthening the faculty, improving the learning environment, establishing the Quality Management System, introducing new institutional designs and forging strategic
partnerships locally and internationally.
The roadmaps of our CUs and their aspirations to become centers of development and
centers of excellence underscore the need to be responsive and relevant in the light of perennial and
emerging security and public safety challenges.
While we showcase their milestones in terms of improvements in the overall conduct of training and
education and in terms of increasing their brand
equity, the all- important role of the CUs is in the
arena of helping build a critical mass of professionally competent and patriotic public safety officers
to ensure peace, order and development in the
country.
We all know that the trend worldwide is a
systemic, integrated and holistic approach to adEditorial Board

dressing the complex societal and universal problems; problems that have tremendous impact on
the lives and welfare of our peoples and communities. Climate change, natural disasters, pandemics,
cybersecurity, transnational crimes, violent extremism and the like have proven to be catastrophic. This integrated approach in the parlance of security is homeland. For PPSC, however, the perspective
of homeland is no less than to build domestic internal capacity for a federal system. We initially enunciated this concept as an expanded multi sectoral
public safety framework to include the coordination mechanisms of the National Peace and Order,
Judicial Sector Coordinating Council, Anti-Terrorism Council and National Disaster Risk Reduction
Management Council as our way of mainstreaming
public safety in national security.
As we thank the outgoing Secretary for his
invaluable contributions in strengthening the ppsc
and its CUs as respectable public safety learning institutions for the home theme, we also embrace the
new direction of the incoming SILG with the same
commitment, dedication and passion especially
as we develop and nurture the security and public safety capacities of our constituency down to
the barangays. Through this approach of prioritizing the smallest political unit and harnessing their
contributions, we believe it will contribute significantly in the strengthening of our domestic internal
capacity-a homeland capability for a federally progressive Philippines.

PPSC revives MPSA
PPSC BOARD OF TRUSTEES MEETING. DILG Secretary Mel Senen Sarmiento, PPSC BOT Chairman presides over one of the
regular meetings of the PPSC BOT. In attendance during the meeting were members of the Board and key DILG officials led by
USEC Atty Edwin R. Enrile (center). Also present is PPSC President Ricardo F. De Leon
T
he Philippine Public Safety College (PPSC) has revived the
implementation of its Master in Public Safety Administration
(MPSA), a one-year graduate scholarship program for
qualified senior executives in government and private sector,
particularly the uniformed officers in the public safety and
security services.
PPSC President Ricardo F. De Leon said the MPSA
is PPSC's flagship program for the professionalization of the
uniformed personnel of the PNP, BFP and the BJMP, as well as
selected senior executives and fellows from other government
institutions, academe, industries and policy think tanks.
“The program is recognized by law through
Executive Order No. 400, and by the Commission on
Higher Education (CHED) as a highly specialized graduate
curricular offering,” the PPSC president said. MPSA is also
accredited by the Career Executive Service Board (CESB)
as equivalent to the written examination of the Career
Executive Service eligibility process.
According to De Leon, as a high level policy
strategy and leadership program that specializes on
public safety governance, including internal peace and
security, the revitalized MPSA is well-timed to sustain the
momentum of building a critical mass of leaders, scholars
and practitioners for the multi-sectoral and non-military
component of national security.
He further explained that given the 21st century
public safety and security challenges, the MPSA aims
to ensure that the next generation of public safety and
security administrators and leaders deepen, expand, and
adopt a comprehensive, strategic and global outlook for
public safety administration and governance within the
framework of public safety and homeland defense.
The revival of MPSA was authorized through the
resolution approved by the PPSC Board of Trustees. For

PPSC, HSF ink MOU on case-based training materials
The Philippine Public Safety College (PPSC) and
the Hanns Seidel Foundation, a non-government
organization based in Munich, Germany, have
agreed to jointly implement training related projects designed to boost the capability building efforts of selected PPSC’s Regional Training Centers
(RTCs).
The joint venture was the gist of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) forged by PPSC
President Ricardo F. De Leon and Goetz Heinicke,
Resident Representative of Hanns Seidel Foundation in the Philippines.
De Leon said the partnership is in support
to PPSC’s strategic plan Vision 2020, “ACCELERATE
Peace for Progress,” to promote a culture of excellence and quality education through the promotion and adoption of practical, case-based training
for police officer recruits and other non-commissioned and commissioned officers.
“The integration of knowledge of police
procedures, practical skills, and social communication skills as observed in the training methods of
the Bavarian Police has been adopted in our programs of instruction and as a component of the
PPSC’s Leadership Development Philosophy,” said
President De Leon. “We also incorporated principles of rights-based policing in our standardized
learning packages,” he added, making reference
to the “PNP Guidebook on Human Rights-Based
Policing” which was printed with the support of
the HSF.
He explained that at least three projects
are covered by the agreement which includes the
conduct of pilot training and testing of developed
case-based materials in selected police regional
training centers; printing of edited, practical, casebased training materials developed by the PPSC
core group; and cascading of case-based training
methods for PPSC faculty/police instructors in
Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.
Under the agreement, the PPSC will, in selected RTCs, conduct the pilot training and testing
of case-based training materials initially consisting
of 31 training scenarios, and reproduce the materials subject to final review and editing, taking into
account feedback obtained from the pilot training
activities conducted.
The accord also stipulates that for each
area, 30 PPSC faculty members or police instructors will receive training for them to be able to effectively teach and promote the use of case-based
training methods, serve as future trainers on the
use of case-based teaching methods, and develop
additional case materials.
For its part, the HSF will provide financial
assistance for the implementation of the joint programs and projects.

SEMINAR ON COMMUNITY POLICING. Mr. Philip Thompson (center) of the British Council joins the students at the National
Police College and PPSC officials headed by President De Leon in the photo session during the seminar on community policing for the Bangsamoro. Also in photo are PSSUPT Romeo Magsalos, NPC Director (3rd fm right, 2nd row) and Mr. Rodney
Jagolino, MNSA, Director, PPSC Center for Policy and Strategy (extreme right, 2nd row)
T he British Council has assured the Philippine Pub-
lic Safety College (PPSC) of its commitment for the
effective implementation of a community policing
project for the proposed Bangsamoro area covering
the seven provinces of the Autonomous Region in
Muslim Mindanao (ARMM).
The assurance was made by Philip Thomson
of the British Council and team leader of the Technical Working Group (TWG) for the project, in a meeting with PPSC president Ricardo F. De Leon.
As this developed a one-day seminar on
community policing was conducted last April at the
National Police College (NPC) jointly sponsored by
the British Council and PPSC.
NPC director PSSupt. Romeo S. Magsalos reported that the activity was attended by 102 participants composed of officials and personnel of PPSC
and NPC including students of PSOSEC class 201503 and PSOAC class 2015-11.
Aside from Thomson, the other members of
the TWG are: P/Dir. Wilfredo D. Franco, Director of
the Philippine National Police (PP) Directorate for
Police Community Relations; PCSupt. Ronald R. Estilles, PNP Police Regional Office, ARMM; Atty. Manuel L. Pontanal, Regional Director, National Capital
Region, National Police Commission; Rodney Jagolino, Director, Centre for Policy and Strategy, PPSC;
BGen. Buenaventura C. Pascual, Chief, Peace Process
Office, AFP; and Atty. Anwar Malang, Secretary DILG,
ARMM, as members.
The seven ARMM provinces covered by the
project include, Maguindanao, Cotabato, Lanao del
Norte, Lanao del Sur, Basilan, Sulu and Tawi-Tawi.
De Leon said the TWG has completed the design particularly the strategy and toolkit for the project after consultation with the various stakeholders
specially the local officials of the affected provinces
and their community leaders, the Joint Normalization Committee, Security Reform Initiative and Conciliation Resources, the MILF, government peace
process, and the British Embassy in Manila.
Under the training design, the project aims
to assist the conflict-affected communities, relevant institutions and authorities to build a culture
of community-driven policing in the Bangsamoro
and by so doing complements the peace building
efforts and the transition process.
The proposed project is composed of five
phases, namely - baseline study, awareness, consultation, strategy development, and feedback – and
has the following objectives: improve community
awareness and understanding on community policing; conduct inclusive community consultations
about community policing strategy development;
and develop a robust community policing blueprint
and toolkit for use by key authorities.
As part of the project development, a training was conducted to some 118 facilitators from the
civil society organizations, PNP PRO-ARMM, PPSC
and MILF, which provided them with methods and
techniques to be used in each phase of the project.

themselves to a higher level of training and discipline. From that day onwards, they will be under
the supervision of the scrutinizing eyes of the upperclass corps in which their stability to withstand
pressure should be put to the test. The learning that
they have acquired- during breaking period will be
their tool to cope with the regimented way of life
as members of the cadet corps. Once incorporated , the fourthclassmen will be exposed to various
activities which will require them to manage their
time wisely,. for academic instructions will also commence.
INCORPORATION- it is more than just an
event which showcase what the plebes have learned
in drills and rifle executions, or how snappy would

“working force” where they constitute the primary
manpower in-charge for all activities of the corps in
