INTRODUCTION

Throughout history of the ROTC it was a long-standing government program to

prepare youth for military service. ROTC is one of the choice courses in the National

Service Training (NSTP) program of the government, which aims to prepare youth for

service in the country. Aside from ROTC, other courses in the program are the Civil

Welfare Training Service (CWTS) and Literacy Training Service (LTS). NSTP is

mandatory for all college students, based on the NSTP Law of 2001. However, students

may choose which of the three NSTP courses they can take.

Perhaps ROTC or Reserve Officer Training Corps is not preeminent to everyone.

But it is prominent for students in senior and College. To attain the training of military

discipline and skills. It is mandatory to take the students but there are others who are

not allowed to undergo such training as physically handicapped students or it is not

recommended by a Doctor to participate.

Before the NSTP Law of 2001 was enacted, ROTC was taking over the

colleges and had no civilian welfare and literacy component. Such a program is a nest

of abuse and corruption. Hazing or the use of violence in ROTC has become a norm in

order to "test the courage, fortitude and integrity" of a cadet.

In fact, this hazing and corruption is the main reason why the NSTP Law of

2001 has been enacted and ROTC has chosen the schools. The 2001 hazing and killing
of University of Santo Tomas student Mark Welson Chua was the particular incident that

resulted in the enactment of the NSTP Law of 2001.

Jepoyo (2017) said in 1992 that ROTC was first implemented and subject

to the UP and the year 1935 made it mandatory for all colleges and universities. But in

2002 it was completely abolished because of the death of a cadet galling in the UST. it

was brutal that the cadets were killed because of its exposure to ROTC training

corruption in UST, but it was only the 17th of February in 2017 a law approved by

President Duterte was resurrecting the ROTC. The measure will grant Grade XI and

Grade XII students to ROTC. But the president says, ROTC's residence is unique to

former ROTC in the wake of corruption. He said the new ROTC is not worthy of

corruption. No hazing and sexual harassment. The Armed Forces of the Philippines

(AFP) also pledged to have restrictions in order to prevent ROTC's bad happenings.

President Rodrigo Duterte said the Mandatory ROTC program in grade XI and

grade XII could help develop and deepen national love and good citizenship for Filipino

youth.

According to the 1987 CONSTITUTION OF THE REPUBLIC OF

PHILIPPINES ARTICLE II SECTION XIII The State recognizes the important role of

youth in the development of the country and must promote and protect their physical,

moral, spiritual, intellectual, and social welfare. It will be established in the youth of

patriotism and nationalism, and will encourage their participation in public and civic
