PREFACE

The National Service Training Program is a program aimed at enhancing 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 namely: Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC), Literacy Training
Service (LTS), and Civic Welfare Training Service (CWTS). Its components are
specially designed to enhance the youth's active contribution to the general welfare.

For the tertiary level students, it is mandatory to take the NSTP, but the
students can choose from any of the three components. Based on the Implementing
Rules and Regulations (IRR) of the NSTP, the students shall be made to undergo a
Common Module Phase for a 25-hour training. Upon completion of the common
module phase, the student must select the specific NSTP program component that
he/she will pursue.

All nations across the globe have universal concern on instilling nationalism
and patriotism among its citizens. Educators acknowledge the affective side of it
emphasizing that this value can be acquired from experiences that go beyond the
four walls of the classroom.

The writers crafted this module based on the Implementing Rules and
Regulations of the NSTP and the Republic Act 9163. The module writers cautiously
developed individual and group exercises to test the minds of the students and to
evaluate their learning and understanding of the lesson.
This module is a product of diligence, hard work, and determination. May it
serve its purpose of instilling knowledge, personality development, and inculcating
love for the country.
