The keynote address by National Security Council (NSC) Deputy Director General Benjamin R. Madrigal Jr. at the 25th Heneral Antonio Luna Colloquium emphasizes the importance of a unified, strategic national response to cognitive warfare, which involves protecting the nation from information manipulation, truth distortion, and psychological tactics designed to undermine democratic institutions and national cohesion.
Building cognitive resilience and enhancing institutional capacities through strategic communication, education, and multi-sectoral collaboration are key components of this approach. The event, organized by the OSSSM, AFP, and NDCP, is a significant step toward a comprehensive national strategy against these modern security challenges. The theme of the colloquium, "Forging a National Framework against Cognitive Warfare: A Comprehensive National Collaborative Approach," underscores the need for unity and collective action across various sectors to effectively counteract such threats.
