AMBISYON NATIN 2040

AS A POLICE OFFICER, HOW CAN YOU RELATE YOUR PERSONAL PLAN

OF ACTION ON THE CONCEPT OF AMBISYON NATIN 2040 IN YOUR HOME,
OFFICE AND IN THE COMMUNITY?

AmBisyon Natin 2040 is a picture of the future, a set of life goals and goals for the

country. It is different from a plan, which defines the strategies to achieve the goals.

It is like a destination that answers the question “Where do we want to be?”. A plan

describes the way to get to the destination; AmBisyon Natin 2040 is the vision that guides the

future and is the anchor of the country’s plans. AmBisyon Natin 2040 is the result of a long-term

visioning process that began in 2015. More than 300 citizens participated in focus group

discussions and close to 10,000 answered the national survey. Technical studies were prepared to

identify strategic options for realizing the vision articulated by citizens. The exercise benefitted

from the guidance of an Advisory Committee composed of government, private sector, academe,

and civil society.

All sectors of society, whether public or private, should direct their efforts towards

creating opportunities for Filipinos to enjoy a matatag, maginhawa at panatag na buhay.

Government, in particular, must use its tools of fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies to steer

the development path towards enabling Filipinos to attain their AmBisyon. This pertains to all

dimensions of development: economic, human and physical capital, institutional, social and

cultural.
