endeavor.
In line with the formation of the whole
person characteristic of Jesuit education,
the InAF program seeks to provide students
with opportunities that can help develop
and integrate the personal, academic, sociocultural, and spiritual dimensions that
comprise each students person.
In forming students to be professionalsfor-and-with-others, the InAF program seeks

their academic competence and training in the
service of nation building; conscious of their
responsibilities as global citizens; guided by
Ignatian discernment and rooted in a personal
relationship with God; strongly oriented to
faith and justice; and critically rooted in their
culture.
To achieve the abovementioned goals,
all undergraduate students of the Loyola
Schools undergo four programs as part of
their holistic formationthe Introduction to

Four InAF Developmental Programs

First Year: Introduction to Ateneo Culture and Traditions
(InTACT)
The InTACT program aims to help first year students develop
self-awareness and self-empowerment by providing them with
opportunities to take a closer look at themselves and at how they
relate to their family, friends, school, country, and God. As students
are welcomed into the Ateneo community and introduced to the
universitys culture and traditionswhich are rooted in Filipino,
Catholic and Jesuit valuesthey not only go through a journey of self-discovery but one of
formative growth as well.
The InTACT program is designed to assist students in their academic adjustment to college
life; raise their self-awareness; introduce them to the value of Ignatian Spirituality; and develop
their sense of community and awareness of social realities.
Second Year: National Service Training Program PLUS
(nstp plus)
The nstp plus was conceived in response to the National Service
Training Program (nstp) Act of 2001 or Republic Act 9163, which
seeks to promote civic consciousness among the youth and
develop their physical, moral, spiritual, intellectual and social wellbeing. It shall inculcate in the youth patriotism, nationalism, and
advance their involvement in public and civic affairs. As such, the
program seeks to develop the ethics of social involvement and patriotism among sophomores
as they undergo training in any of the following componentsCivic Welfare Training Service
(cwts) or Reserved Officers Training Corps (rotc).
The nstp plus aims to provide students with opportunities to get to know their neighbor
from the marginalized sectors of society and to respond to the call of being a gift to others
through their particular academic disciplines or fields of interest. These opportunities also hope
to deepen the students knowledge of themselves through the continuous exploration of their
gifts.

NSTP PLUS

Third Year: Junior Engagement Program ( jeep)

To enable third year students to further engage the world beyond
the self, the jeep aims to help juniors develop a deeper awareness
of their responsibility towards the other and of their role as
members of society.
The jeep is designed to provide opportunities that will allow
students to critically engage in the life experiences of people who
experience, or work to address the reality of marginalization.
Through these experiences, it is hoped that students will gain an understanding of the various
contexts of the other in relation to economic, political, and socio-cultural realities as well as
grow in social responsibility.
Fourth Year: Senior Integration Program (sip)
The sip aims to help graduating students reflect on and integrate
their Ateneo college experience in light of their personal vocation
and the call to help build the nation. By helping seniors discern
how their respective disciplines and future career decisions can
respond effectively to societal needs, the program seeks to form
graduates who will be catalysts for change as professionals-for-andwith-others.
The sip is designed to form leaders who possess a strong sense of their personal giftedness,
competence in their respective fields of study, a genuine desire and commitment to be of service
to the nation, and a capacity to ground their decisions in Ignatian discernment.

NSTP PLUS as InAF Program

In the Ateneo, the nstp plus aims to provide holistic development and formation in four key
areas: personal and interpersonal development, spiritual development, social, and cultural
formation, as well as leadership development. To achieve this, students are provided with
opportunities to get to know their neighbor from the marginalized sectors of society and
respond to the call of being a gift to others through their particular academic disciplines or fields
of interest. These opportunities also hope to deepen the students knowledge of themselves
through the continuous exploration of their gifts, enhance their commitment to pursue personal
growth and increase their sense of Gods personal love. nstp plus is an integrated student
formation effort among various Loyola Schools offices such as the Office for Social Concern
and Involvement (osci), the Office of the Campus Ministry (ocm), the Office of Guidance and
Counseling (ogc), the Office of Student Activities (osa), and the Office of the Associate Dean for
Student Formation (adsf).
nstp plus Expected Learning Outcomes
At the end of the program, the students were able to:
Critically reflect on their experience
Critically analyze their experience using the Sustainable Livelihood framework
Apply technical skills in their area engagements
Demonstrate socio-emotional skills in their area engagements
Demonstrate generosity in service.

NSTP PLUS

Program
Approaches
Discipline-based
It is an Ateneo approach to formation
that makes use of knowledge and skills
related to ones discipline or course to serve
development institutions and marginalized
communities.
Service-Learning
Service-Learning as a credit-bearing
educational experience in which students
participate in an organized service activity
that meets identified community needs
and reflect on the service activity in such
a way as to gain further understanding of
course content, a broader appreciation of the
discipline, and an enhanced sense of civic
responsibility.

student manual

Pastoral Cycle Framework

Experience
A heightened and deepened sense of awareness and
understanding of social realities can be brought about by
experiential learning. Furthermore, ones preferential
option for the poor places a priority on the experiences,
views, needs, feelings and stance of the poor and the most
vulnerable in a community.
Action
What to do is an inevitable
question in the movement
around the pastoral
learning cycle. Two
principles of the Churchs
social teachings orient
the threefold response
of planning, action and
evaluation. The first is the
principle that places action
at the lowest level possible:
solidarity. The second is
the principle that reckons
the most efficient, equitable
and sustainable use of
resources...stewardship.

Analysis
The question of why such
conditions exist will be
guided by those whose
rights are being violated and
whose responsibilities are
called upon to change the
situation. The language of
rights and responsibilities
rooted in the human
dignity of each person in
the community pushes
analytical approaches
beyond economic and
political causes to social and
cultural causes.

Reflection
When we come to ask what it means to our faith
to evaluate this situation, and what is really most
at stake in this situation, we can be guided by the
churchs social teachings on human dignity and
solidarity. Every person is made in the image of
God. Dignity need not be earned; it has been given
as a gift.

knowledge on the nstp plus, its program
objectives/rationale, processes, policies and
guidelines, and the institution of community.

Processing Sessions
These small group sessions, conducted at most
twice every semester, aim to facilitate the
sharing of the students reflections and analysis
of their experiences.

Community Integration Workshop

able to demonstrate skills necessary for the
effective implementation of their tasks in their
assigned communities.
Area Engagement

to engage with the communities they signed
up for through their identified civic-oriented
work. Each engagement gives the students
not only the opportunity to bond with the
community but also render community
service related to their specific component
and/or discipline. Aside from the componentbased services, activities also include the Area
Orientation, home visits, Christmas party,
urban gardening, and culminating activity.

NSTP PLUS

Recollection
The Recollection provides students an
opportunity for silence and solitude to see how
ones relationship and attitude is towards ones
neighbor and God. Students are invited to
look at how one receives and welcomes Christ
as a person, as a gift in ones life, and reflect on
the concrete ways one is invited to be Christlike: a gift to ones neighbor.

activities
Identify emergency plan
Rationale: It is the primary responsibility of the
formators to ensure the safety and security of the

in their appropriate nstp plus uniform: nstp
plus shirt, pants, and closed shoes.
i. It is the responsibility of the student to
inform the formator and the monitor if
he/she is not in complete uniform. Failing
to do so can merit a dishonesty case.

ii. A student will be given a warning if he/

she failed to follow the above mentioned
policy for the first time. For all the
succeeding violations, the students will
be marked absent. This shall be observed
on a per semester basis.
b. Students should not bring materials that
are not related to area work such as mp3

Task-related/Technical competency
Responsibility of the student to perform their
task with the required competencies
Rationale: Students are expected to provide high
quality outputs as a result of their best efforts and
their desire to be excellent in serving.
Professionalism is expected from every student,
therefore it is their responsibility to prepare for each
engagement and to execute activities with diligence
and care.
It is the responsibility of students to:
1. Attend task-related orientation and training
of the program
a. Students will not be allowed to participate
in the Area Engagements without the
proper orientation and training. Students
who missed the Orientations and Skills
Trainings sessions are required to attend a
make-up session. However, cuts incurred
for such an absence will remain. Area
Engagements missed for not having the
said trainings are considered absences.
2. Bring and use materials necessary for the
implementation of their task
3. Submit required outputs
4. Follow institutional policies and university
research ethics
5. Any form of dishonesty committed in the

16

NSTP PLUS

Attendance and Participation

Active engagement in all activities
Physical presence in all activities
Punctuality
Diligence in informing the nstp plus
formator about concerns and absences
Rationale: Whether in class or in the area, each
student is expected to actively participate and show
respect to other people. Students are expected to be
punctual at all times.
1. Students are only allowed 10 hours of absences
from all the nstp plus activities. Incurring
more than 10 hours of absences would mean
withdrawal from the course.
2. Students are required to inform their formator
in advance if they will be absent for an Area
Engagement. Unforeseen absences should also
be reported as soon as possible.
3. Students incurring absences should submit
an Absence Report Form signed by the
following:
a. adaa for representations,
i. If a student misses any nstp plus
activity for representing the school or
the country such as competitions or
conferences, or was unable to do so due
to bad weather, he/she can request for an
alternative activity.
b. Parent or guardian for bad weather,
medical concerns, or family emergencies

c. Concerned professor for academic conflict.

i. If a student misses an nstp plus activity
scheduled outside the enrolled nstp plus
schedule due to conflict with academics,
he/she can request for an alternative
activity. An example of this scenario
would be a student enrolled to nstp plus
on a Saturday 8:00am-12:00pm, misses a
Social Anaysis scheduled on a Monday,
6:00-7:30pm due to a departmental long
test or a make-up class.
It should be submitted at least 2
working days before the absence if
foreseen, and at most 7 working days
after if unforeseen. No alternative
activities will be given to students who
do not comply or who do not fit the said
description of absence.
4. Students who missed nstp plus activities for
attending InTACT exposure trips as Student
Facilitators, or immersions will not be marked
absent.
5. Students are expected to complete the time
required for each activity. Students who leave
before the end of the session will be given
a cut equal to the number of hours for that
activity.
6. There is a 15-minute grace period for Ateneobased activities. Arriving beyond the grace
period would mean a 0.5 hour cut on the
students record. Arriving 20 minutes after the
sessions schedule is considered an absence.
7. Every student must monitor his or her
number of absences and/or tardiness in the
program.

Excerpts from

Mga Unang Hakbang Tungo sa Tao

Joe Vibar Nero

Hindi gawaing biro ang gawaing tao o gawaing

pagtatrabaho kasama ang tao. Hindi kasing dali ng
pagparoon at pagparito.
Napakalaking halaga ang hinihingi nito sa
isang tao na ang buong kalooban ay nakatuon sa
kapwa at sa pagpapahalaga ng kanyang pagkatao.
Tinutukoy ang salitang tao (ang buong pagkatao)
bilang isang indibidwal at bilang bahagi ng isang
komunidad ng mga tao, ang bawat kasapi ay buo
ang pagkatao: may dangal, pagpapasya, at kalayaan.
Layunin ng pagtungo natin sa tao ang gawaing
komunidad na makatao at maka-Kristiyano, ito
ang mga taong bumubuo nito. Isang Kristiyanong
Komunidad, isang Bayan, isang Diyos.
Dahil tayoy mga estudyante, limitado ang
ating panahon. Anong magagawa natin upang
pagkasyahin at hindi sayangin?
Pumunta ka sa Tao
Napakahalagang dalisay ang hangarin mo sa iyong
pagpunta. Hindi ka pumunta dahil gusto mo lang,
walang mangyayari sa iyo. At pangalawa, kung
iniisip mong kailangan ka nila, nagkakamali ka.
Hindi ka isang Mesiyas o isang tagapagligtas. Ano
ka? Tao, katulad ng mga pupuntahan mong tao.
Tumingin Ka
Ang kahulugan ng salitang tingin at di lamang ang
pagtingin ng buong mga mata kundi ng buong
pagkatao. Ang katotohanay hubad ang iyong
harap! Nasa gitna ka ng hiwaga. Huwag kang
tumulala! Damhin mo ang kanilang nadarama.
Tumitibok pa ba ang puso nila?

22

NSTP PLUS

Makinig Ka
Huwag kang masyadong mausisa. Ingatan mo ang
iyong pananalita. Higit na mabuti kung huwag ka
munang magsalita. Pakinggan mo ang kanilang
sinasabi at ang kanilang hindi sinasabi kailanman.
Pumasok ka sa Karanasan
Huwag mong hatulan ang iyong nakikita at
naririnig. Huwag kang padadala sa maling
katwiran. Pumasok ka sa kanilang buhay at
karanasan, sa kanilang kalooban.
Kilatisin mo ang mga Bagay
Tingnan mo ang lahat sa pamamagitan ng mata ng
Maykapal.
Manalangin Ka
Huwag umasa sa sariling lakas. Higit mo Siyang
kailangan, di tulad ng iyong akala.
Sa Kabuuan...
Maging magalang at mapagkumbaba.
Makakatulong ang paggamit ng po, opo, at
ho. Laging magpasalamat sa mga kabutihang
ipinapakita sa atin.
Makinig nang mabuti sa sinasabi at gustong
sabihin ng kausap. Huwag ipilit ang sariling
paningin o makipagtalo. Maging interesado tayo...
Huwag mangako ng anumang tulong kung
hindi kayang tuparin, kahit na simpleng babalik sa
komunidad o institusyon pagkatapos ng nstp...
Ihanda ang sarili at maging bukas sa anumang
maaring mangyari...

What will I do in case of any untoward
incident or emergencies during Area
Engagements?
Inform your area monitor or area deputy and
formator at once for immediate action.
May I transfer to another nstp area or
component for the second semester?
You cannot transfer to another component
(e.g., cwts to rotc). You are also not allowed
to transfer to another area or section unless
you have problems with your academic
schedule.
What happens in case of inclement
weather?
Kindly wait for the announcement from your
formator regarding any cancellations.

If I miss a Social Analysis session, will

that be considered an absence?
Yes. All Ateneo-based activities are part of
nstp plus.
If I get left behind by our jeep or
section, may I go directly to the area?
No. This will already be counted as an
absence.
Why do I seldom see my formator
during Area Engagements?
Your formator handles an average of 5
nstp plus sections with 170 students and is
expected to monitor them four times each
semester. For concerns and inquiries
during his/her absence during your Area
Engagements, you may coordinate with your
area monitors/coordinator.
