Communication Plan for the AFP to Gain US Military Assistance

The communications plan is more than just giving the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) a face-lift; it is ultimately geared toward one goal: to reposition the AFP as a professional, self-motivated and highly-trained organization, hence a key player in national development.

The point is to show the US Congress that while the AFP lacks hardware, it is abundant in good people. This is evident in the way it has undergone a paradigm shift in including transnational & non-military threats, disasters, and nation-building as central to its mandate. If the AFP’s heightened nation-building thrust actually improves the quality of life of Filipinos, then international media and organizations will notice it.

When the US Congress sees public opinion on the side of the AFP, and government sees the importance of having strong military capabilities in the whole equation of national development and socio-economic progress, they would have no other recourse but to provide the AFP with vital logistical support. Approved and implemented in 2002, it achieved its objective through increased military assistance from the US.

Strategic Communications to Achieve Public Diplomacy Goals

Strategic communication - as a process with a goal - helps public diplomacy goals to be achieved. This was the thrust of the State Department at the height of the Global War on Terror in 2005 to repair the US' badly-tarnished reputation worldwide. As such, the Peace and Prosperity for the Philippines Foundation (3PF) was guided by this gameplan.
