The National Defense College of the Philippines (NDCP) has conferred Master in National Security Administration (MNSA) degrees on 65 scholars from its 60th Regular Course, also called the “Alamat” Class.
The batch included 32 officers from the Armed Forces of the Philippines, 22 government personnel, five from the private sector, and one representative each from Bangladesh, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Singapore, and South Korea. The program began in October 2024.
Defense Undersecretary Ignacio Madriaga, the guest of honor, said the inclusion of enlisted personnel and younger civilians this year would bring fresh perspectives and energy to the program.
The MNSA program is the NDCP’s flagship offering, aimed at developing leaders and experts in national security administration.
