 LESSON 1:

Martin King Luther Jr. said, “If you want to be important – wonderful. If you want to
be recognized – wonderful. If you want to be great – wonderful. But recognize that he who
is greatest among you shall be your servant. That’s a new definition of greatness. By giving
that definition of greatness, it means that everyone can ber great, because everyone can
serve”.
These lines from Martin Luther King Jr. are truly inspiring. You don’t need to be a
degree holder, to have all the riches in the world, and to know everything to serve others.
It only takes a heart full of grace, a soul generated by love and you can serve.
However, as the Philippine society becomes driven by fast-paced technology and
quick gratification, convincing today’s youth to participate in community-based extenstion
projects and other similar endeavors becomes more challenging.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
At the end of this lesson, you are expected to:
1. discuss the goals and objectives of the National Service Training
Program,
2. identify the three major components of the NSTP Act of 2001, and
3. recognize the importance of taking NSTP and the role of youth in nation
.
building.

Examine the picture closely. Describe what you have seen in the picture and relate
it to the present scenario that the youths are facing.

Based from your responses on the self-audit section, think about the following
questions:
1. What does it take to keep young people invested in their communities?
2. What adults can do to assist them in continuing the legacy that has transformed
the communities nationwide?
3. What is the importance of the National Service Training Program to the students?

The 1987 Philippine Consitution porvides that, “The State recognizes the vital role
of the youth in nation building. It shall inculcate in the youth patriotism and nationalism
and encourage their involvement in public and civic affairs” (Article II, Section 13).
The role of the youth in nation building should not be underestimated. The youth
has the energy to perform tasks and duties with which adult or old people may no longer
be capable of doing so. Moreover, the youth has the fresher ideas and more innovative
ways to respond to the needs of the community, as well as to bring about changes and
progress in the community.
Because of this, the role of the youth in nation building should be optimized and
maximized. This is one of the many reasons why the National Service Training Program
is designed and offered to tertiary level. In fact, in the Declaration of Principles of the
Philippine Constitution, it states that, “The prime duty of the government is to serve and
protect its people. The government may call upon the people to defend the State and in
fulfillment thereof, all citizens may be required, under conditions provided by law, to render
personal military or civil service”.

NSTP1- Civic Welfare Training Service

What is the legal basis of the National Service Training Program (NSTP)?
The National Service Training Program (NSTP) Law or Republic Act 9163 also
known as “An Act Establishing the National Service Training Program (NSTP) for tertiary
level students, amending for the purpose Republic Act No. 7077 and the Presidential
Decree No. 1706, and for other purposes” was enacted last January 2002. RA 9163 is
commonly known as the “National Service Training Program (NSTP) Act of 2001.
This program aimed 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, specifically designed to enhance the youth’s
active contribution to the general welfare.

What are the components of the NSTP?

a. Reserve Officer’s Training Corps (ROTC). This refers to the program component
designed to provide military training to motivate, train, organize and mobilize them
for national defense preparedness.
The skills being developed among the cadets are military leadership, basic
combat, map reading, military intelligence, artillery operations, unconventional
warfare, marches and bivouac.

b. Civic Welfare Training Service (CWTS). This refers to the program component
or activities contributory to the general welfare and the betterment of life for the
members of the community or the enhancement of its facilities, especially those
devoted to improving health, education, environment, entrepreneurship, safety,
recreation and moral of the citizenry and other social welfare services.
Students participate in several community development activities like
shelter-building, tree planting, medical missions and the like.

c. Literacy Training Service (LTS). This refers to the program component designed
to train the students to teach literacy and numeracy skills to school children, out-
of-school youth and other segments of society in need of their services.
Students hold tutorials and other non-formal education related activities in
public schools and underprivileged communities thereby promoting the importance
of education among grade school and high school students, even adults, who were
not given the chance to study.

Who are covered by the NSTP Law?

o All incoming freshmen students, male or female, starting school year (SY) 2002-
2003, enrolled in any baccalaureate and in at least two (2) year technical-

 vocational or associate courses, are required to complete one (1) NSTP
component of their choice, as a graduation requirement;

o All higher and technical-vocational education institutions must at least offer one (1)
of the NSTP components.

o State univeristies and colleges (SUCs) shall offer the ROTC component and at
least one (1) other NSTP component.

o The Philippine Military Academy (PMA), Philippine Merchant Marine Academy

(PMMA), Philippine National Police Academy (PNPA), and other SUCs of similar
nature, in view of the special character of the institutions, are exempted from the
NSTP;

o Private higher education and technical-vocational education institutions with at

least 350 student cadets may offer the ROTC component and consequently
establish/maintain a Department of Military Science and Tactics (DMST), subject
to the existing rules and regulations of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP).

What is the duration and equivalent course unit of each of the NSTP component?
Each of the NSTP components shall be undertaken for an academic period of two
(2) semesters for 54 to 90 training hours per semester. It shall be credited three (3) units
per semester.

What fees shall be charged to students taking any of the NSTP components?
No other fees shall be collected except basic tuition fees, which should not be more

NSTP-OSP is created under RA9163 or the NSTP Act of 2001, especially Section
6 and jointly devised, formulated and adopted by DND, CHED, and TESDA.
NSTP-OSP is established for the three (3) components: ROTC, CWTS, and LTS.
This is intended for graduating students in baccalaureate or at least two-year technical-
vocational or associate courses, who have yet to comply with the NSTP as a requirement
for graduation, as well as for students, thus allow them to concentrate on the academic
subjects and other co-curricular concerns.

What is the National Service Reserve Corps (NSRC)?

NSRC is created under Section 11 of RA 9163 or the NSTP Act of 2001, composed
of graduates of the non-ROTC components: the CWTS and LTS. Members of this corps

of DND, CHED and TESDA.

NSTP-CWTS DIMENSIONS OF DEVELOPMENT

If you are going to look closely from the scope of the CWTS program, you will
realize that the heart of this component is SERVICE. The acronym service stands for all
the dimensions of the CWTS program which includes:

• S – afety and Security

• E – ducation
• R – ecreation
• V – alues Formation and Moral Recovery
• I – ndustry and Entrepreneurship
• C – are for Health
• E – nvironment

A. Safety and Security. This are involves disaster preparedness during fire, earthquake
or other calamity that needs immediate response from any trained civilians during
emergency situations.
Basic life saving seminar, fire and earthquake drills, and the like are some of the
examples.

B. Education. This area involves enhancement of institutional support materials and

facilities for the community and school such as providing materials containing basic
literacy skills for pre-schoolers, alternative learning system for out-of-school youths
and adults, mathematics and science tutorials and extended services of skilled
students.

C. Recreation. This area involves sportsfest, parlor games for street children and
painting that enrich youth’s capacities to relate with one another in the community.

D. Values Formation and Moral Recovery. This involves the development of youth to
be good leaders, responsible individuals imbued with good moral values and active
agent of development of the community.

E. Industry and Entrepreneurship. This area includes programs and activities that are
vital to economic growth. CWTS students demonstrate technical skills in communities
like meat processing, silkscreen making and how to establish small business.

F. Care for Health. This are aims to give knowledge on medical-related fields and extend
health services needed in the community. It includes medical services like first-aid

health and related fields. It involves management of waste, environmental protection,
disseminattion and application of technologies supportive of the community needs and
livelihood activities related to environment and other related fields supportive of the
