History of NSTP
(Syjuco, J.G. Military Education in the Philippines)
Primary Objective
The primary objective of the NSTP law is to promote the role of the youth in building
nation. As such, it aims to encourage the youth to become civic and / or military leaders and
volunteers who could be called upon by the nation when their services are needed.
The NSTP requires male and female students to undergo the course (whether CWTS,
LTS or ROTC), they have chosen for two (2) semesters or one (1) academic year in contrast with
the mandatory ROTC before, which required male to take military training for four (4) semesters
or two (2) academic years. Students taking up NSTP will get three (3) units from taking the
program which means they get 1.5 credit units for every semester. Thus, in contrast to the
mandatory – yet free – ROTC, students will now have to pay for their NSTP. This includes the
former cadets of the ROTC who enjoyed the free reservist program. Also, the law states that
private learning institutions could offer one of the three options but requires state colleges and
universities to maintain their ROTC units together with an alternative unit from the two other
options. The law also limits the existence of the ROTC in private and vocational institutions
requiring them to have cadets for it to be called a unit, otherwise- and considering other factors
such as insufficient cadet number lack of logistics to support ROTC program of instruction
(POI), etc.- cross enrolling the students to other schools for their NSTP is an option.
The goal of the law and of the program is to harness the strength and capacity of the
youth to contribute to nation- building, thus the National Service Reserve Force is created to
enlist CWTS and LTS graduates equivalent to the Citizen, Armed Force of the ROTC.
