As stated by President Rodrigo Duterte, the program is necessary for the future
of Filipino youth to be able to protect the nation. The younger person, however,

discussion of the proposal. Prior to the passage of the NSTP Law of 2001, ROTC
was being used in schools and lacked a human welfare and literacy component,
courage, and honesty. This hazing and corruption are the primary justifications for
the adoption of the NSTP Law of 2001 and the ROTC's decision to close schools.
Mark Nelson, a student at the University of Santo Tomas, was harmed and killed in
2001. Chua was the specific incident that led to the adoption of the NSTP Law after
2001. Jepayo (2017) noted that the ROTC program was originally launched in 1992
and was governed by the UP. It became necessary for all colleges and institutions in
1935. However, in 2002, due to the death of a cadet fighting in the UST, it was

knowledge of ROTC is revealed by this study. Readers would be able to read the
Prior to the outbreak of the Second World War, the ROTC was a long-standing
government program to prepare youth for military service and to be part of the
Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) Reserve Force. This reserve force is expected
to fill the demands of the army in case of war or disaster. ROTC is one of the
chosen courses in the National Service Training Program (NSTP) of the government,
which aims to prepare youth for service in the country. Aside from ROTC, other
courses in the program are the Civil Welfare Training Service (CWTS) and Literacy
Training Service (LTS). NSTP is mandatory for all college students, based on the
NSTP Law of 2001. However, students may choose which of the three NSTP courses
they can take. Probably not everyone knows that ROTC, or Reserve Officer Training

and integrity" of a cadet. In fact, this hazing and corruption is the main reason why
the NSTP Law of 2001 has been enacted and ROTC has chosen the schools.
The 2001 hazing and killing of University of Santo Tomas student Mark
Welson Chua was the particular incident that resulted in the enactment of the
NSTP Law of 2001. Jepoyo (2017) said in 1992 that ROTC was first implemented

exposure to ROTC training corruption in UST, but it was only on the 17th of
February in 2017 that a law approved by President Duterte was resurrected the

What is ROTC
among students. It is a program that is mandatory for senior high school students
in the Philippines, as part of the National Service Training Program (NSTP). The
program has been a subject of debate, with some supporting its implementation for
its potential benefits, such as inculcating values, preparing students for war, and
strengthening the country's military system. However, there are also concerns
about the program's implementation, including issues with exemptions and the
officers in charge. The perceptions of senior high school students towards ROTC
implementation have been studied, with factors such as physical and psychological
leadership skills among students. ROTC is a mandatory program for senior high

officer in the military. The ROTC program has a long history of producing top-
quality leaders, and graduates of the program have served in various conflicts and
promote higher levels of conventional moral reasoning among college students. The
program also instills a sense of responsibility and creates a strong work ethic,
opportunities that can be advantageous for cadets. Students interact with other
cadets, military officers, and even potential employers during their time in the
program. These connections can help cadets secure internships, job placement,
fitness, which can be challenging for some individuals. However, physical training
has been shown to have positive effects on skeletomuscular pain, with aerobic
development, but it also requires a significant time commitment and may limit
strain, anxiety, and observed adaptation in cadets. While the program promotes
leadership and moral development, it may also subject students to high levels of
stress and pressure, which can be challenging for their mental well-being.

SYNTHESIS
The researchers are able to better understand how senior high school
students view the mandatory ROTC program thanks to the linked literature and
studies that have been given. The researchers came to the conclusion that the
the current investigation was aided by the literature and studies mentioned earlier.
The researchers' own study benefited greatly from the findings and suggestions of
the authors and writers cited in this paper. According to the history of ROTC in the
nation, the program was developed with the intention of improving students' civic
engagement and enhancing their capacity for protection. The objectives of ROTC
are entirely nationalistic in character, despite issues that have arisen during their
execution in the past and in the present. The objectives of ROTC in other nations,
however, focus more on helping students understand military theory and abilities
contrast, they are more militaristic in nature and pay less attention to how ROTC
might help students develop their leadership and sense of self. It is possible to
comprehend the feelings of the pupils who take part in this type of program by
looking at how they perceive the activities that they carried out there. It also
addresses how each student acts and displays their leadership training during the
course of this kind of program. The research can also be used to develop ROTC in
the Philippines for a better and more thorough application that can reduce the
