Assessment Task

Directions: Complete the following phrases.

1. In my own understanding, the R.A No. 9163 is about the National Service
Training Program (NSTP) for Tertiary level students. Stated at R.A. 9163, that this act is
a program aims to enhance civic consciousness and defense preparedness in the youth by
developing the ethics of service and patriotism while undergoing training in any of its
 three (3) program components. Its various components are specially designed to enhance
the youth’s active contribution to the general welfare.

2. In times of national crisis or calamities, I will apply all the knowledge that I acquired
in the span of time taking the National Service Training Program (NSTP). As one of the
Reserved Officer, we can help and act as change makers by sharing information we
learned in youth preparedness programs and helping parents and communities to prepare
for disaster, for example by developing a disaster plan or disaster preparation kit.

3. I believe that the National Service Training Program will help me to train myself
become well-disciplined and efficient. NSTP courses are effective in teaching self-
improvement, performance, and community involvement. As the main goal of the NSTP
law is to uphold the role of the youth in nation-building and instill a sense of patriotism
and nationalism to us, the students; and encourage the youth to be civic organizers and
community volunteers.

4. The Civic Welfare Training Service is one of three components of the National Service
Training Program, a civic education and defense preparedness program for higher and
vocational education students in the Philippines. It gears towards activities that have
social impact through activities that could contribute to “health, education, environment,
entrepreneurship, safety, recreation and morals of the citizenry”,

5. As a student of NSTP, I can be of better service to my country by applying all of my

acquired knowledge and put it into practice for everyday life. And also by sharing the
knowledge to my countrymen in able for them to be aware and instill it to their life too.
