PERFORMANCE

Individual Output:

Activity 1. Make a schematic Diagram on the Evolution of the NSTP Law and give its emphasis and
purposes of these act. (RA No. 7077, PD No. 1706 and RA 9163) 20 Points

Republic Act No. 7077

This law is also known as the “Citizen Armed Forces of the Philippines Reservist Act” and was enacted by
the 8th Congress of the Philippines on 27 June 1991. The Reservist Act provided for organization, training
and utilization of reservists, referred to in the Act as “Citizen Soldiers”. In other words, this republic Act
was implemented in relation to the NSTP Program we need to comply as a freshmen student.

Presidential Decree No. 1706

This law is also known as “The National Defense Act” for the purpose of compulsory national service for
Filipino citizens and amending certain sections of Commonwealth Act No. 1.This act was approved and
implemented by President Ferdinand Marcos.

Republic Act No. 9163

This law says that, “The youth, the most valuable resource of the nation, shall be motivated, trained,
organized and mobilized in military training, literacy, civic welfare and other similar endeavors in the
service of the nation.” In other words, this act simply is the one responsible for the NSTP Program. This
act established the compulsory requirement of National Service Training Program (NSTP) in all Territory
levels of Education. It’s purpose is to prepare young adults to defend the security of the State through
personal, military or civil service to the country when a need arises. This aims at imparting youth
patriotism, nationalism, and at advancing their involvement in public and civic affairs.

Activity 2. Essay (in not less than 200 words)

1. How NSTP beneficial to the student?

2. Is it necessary to take up this course (NSTP)?
3. Among the 3 components of NSTP which do you think is best for you and why?

The National Service Training Program (NSTP) is the program enforced by the Republic Act 9163
for the Tertiary Level student with an aim in instilling the spirit of nationalism to them and to promote
civic consciousness among the youth in public and civic affairs. But how beneficial NSTP is to students? Is
it necessary to take up this course? We cannot exempt attending NSTP in our classes because it is a
compulsory curriculum requirement for all college students in order for them to graduate college.
Though NSTP program is tiring, but let's look at the brighter side of this program.

NSTP is a program designed to develop the youth’s physical, moral, spiritual, intellectual, and
social well-being and promote defense preparedness and ethics of service. Therefore, this program are
mainly concerned with community engagement with the help of partner communities and
organizations. This reason is already enough for us to actively participate because you are helping for
the betterment of the community and also yourself. NSTP not only builds a sense of patriotism to the
individuals but also teamwork and loyalty. The NSTP is composed of three different components,
namely: Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC), Civic Welfare Training Service (CWTS) and Literacy
Training Service (LTS). ROTC is designed to provide military training to tertiary level students in order to
motivate, train, organize and mobilize them for national defense preparedness while LTS is designed to
train students to become teachers of literacy and numeracy skills to school children, out of school youth,
and other segments of society. On the other hand, CWTS is composed of programs or activities
contributory to the general welfare and the betterment of life for the members of the community.

All programs of NSTP are very helpful for the improvement of the society. But what caught my
attention between the three components is the CWTS . I am interested in contributing things to the
community and I find it very useful. I think it’s great that everyone of us will be given a chance to
contribute something to our country through the implementation of this program.
