    The document summarizes opposition to a bill that would mandate the National Citizens Service Training Program (NCSTP) and Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) in higher education institutions in the Philippines. It argues that making NCSTP and ROTC mandatory would negatively impact students' physical and mental health. Specifically, not all students have the physical ability for ROTC training, which has led to exhaustion and deaths in some cases. The training can also take a toll on mental health and be a site for human rights violations, as evidenced by past abuse cases. Therefore, the bill should not pass in order to avoid potential harm to students.

    NCSTP-ROTC Bill's Toll to the Well-being of Students

    NSTP and ROTC in the old curriculum was mandatory but students have the will to choose their own.
    Meanwhile, in the new "House Bill (HB) 6687, which would mandate a National Citizens Service Training
    Service Program (NCSTP) in higher education institutions, as well as making Reserve Officers’ Training
    Corps (ROTC)" it became mandatory. Many students opposed to the said bill according to the Inquirer's
    report.

    Implementing this would affect the both physical and mental health of the students. It should not be
    mandatory. There are several effects of this to the physical health, not everyone will be physically able
    to perform in the ROTC and there are times where the handlers of the ROTC keep on pushing the limits
    of the students that lead to the exhaustion of their body and to support this, just look into the story of
    Mark Welson Chua of University of Santo Tomas that died because of the Reserve Officers Training
    Corps. Also, it can be a tool of the violation of human rights considering on what happened to Mark
    Chua in 2001 and Willy Amihoy in 2019. Also, because of what happened to Willy Amihoy, before his
    death, ROTC first take toll on his mental health because of the abuse he experienced during the training
    and also the hardship it gave. So, mandating this bill could possibly harm the students it must be
    stopped.
