Communication and the national interest

ROSES AND THORNS - Pia Roces Morato - The Philippine Star

Conclusion

It must also be clear that mitigating risks to national interest is important and that practical ways are established in order to do so. Such ways are essential in the area of communication, where people-to-people connections become well established and bring about cooperation rather than conflict. Ultimately, communicating our national interest improves our social order and promotes success. While both defense and security are public goods provided by government, communication helps the people develop relevant national interest which leads to participation in nation building, thus ensuring a safe future for the people.

Effective communication is crucial for the growth of our nation as this helps us create a clear picture of our position on matters that need our closest attention as well as to be able to draw out the best possible response to issues that affect our country. Communication is the nation’s engine for change and being able to connect with others to either solve problems or resolve conflicts builds on our national interest.

Communication plays a very big role in the security of every nation, therefore, it must be understood that the impact on our national interest will in turn affect our national security, when citizens understand the importance of particular strategies and skills necessary in shaping society, crucial in influencing policies and ultimately advocate for the greater good.

Communication educates the public and empowers them to take action and responsibility for issues that impact everyone. It’s time we build on our national interest in order to fully support national security concerns as well as become informed partners in good governance.
