What is NSTP?

The National Service Training Program (NSTP) Law or RA 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 Presidential Decree No. 1706, and for other
purposes.” was enacted last January 2002 to amend the Expanded ROTC.

What is the History of NSTP?

The National Service Training Program (NSTP) was implemented by the University of the
Philippines (UP) Diliman in accordance with the Republic Act (RA) 9163, an Act Establishing
The National Service Training Program (NSTP) for Tertiary Level Students, enabling the
government to create a program that will encourage the youth to actively participate in civic
welfare and literacy initiatives as well as defend the country in times of war. It was, however,
only in 2011 that UP Diliman paid attention to unifying the different NSTP initiatives of the
various colleges and units, after the creation of the Office of the Director of NSTP (system level)
and the appointment of an NSTP Coordinator for UP Diliman.

The NSTP Diliman was officially established by virtue of a decision made by the Board of
Regents during its 1288th BOR Meeting on June 20, 2013. Its functions are to administer,
manage, and coordinate all NSTP offerings and activities in UP Diliman in accordance with RA
9163 of 2001 and its duly approved implementing rules and regulations.

In 2016, following a reorganization of the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs,
the NSTP Diliman was created to be headed by a director and a deputy director for National
Service Reserve Corps (NSRC).

What are the 3 Components of NSTP?
