Consistent with the whole-of-nation approach, success is hinged on the participation of all stakeholders, and lesser on traditional military operations. The AFP acknowledges that the people themselves must participate actively in the pursuit of peace and security. Bayanihan is about creating a concept and understanding of security that is shared not just among security forces and government institutions but also with civil society and the communities. Shared responsibility emanate only from a shared concept of security. In this context, the role of AFP is to catalyze the involvement of all stakeholders in order to optimize unity of effort.

Once isolated, the AFP is in a better position to apply military force with precision and without collateral damage.
