Establishment Act for Tertiary Students," which governs Law 7077 of the

Republic of Purpose and Presidential Decree No. 1706 and other

purposes and came into effect on January 23, 2002, to form in the ROTC

program. Nature, they were born. NSTP addresses the need for
national youth development and mobilization program for the nation-

building mission. Given this plan and objectives, the program exists and

operates in the context of the education and national security systems,

which are important components of the broader system of national

development and security policy. This potentially synergistic

relationship between education and advocacy needs better

understanding given the systematic link between national development

and national security, an important point relevant to improving national

service training for Filipino youth. implementing and abolishing them is

no solution at all, given their perceived irrelevance and mediocrity.

Given the potential for weaknesses in the program, caution dictates that
the diagnoses be correct from the start. To put aside the misleading

biases and false impressions of the program, this evaluation study can

serve as empirical evidence. Of course, the changes and evolution of the

NSTP over time cannot be denied by correcting its shortcomings in its

management systems. Treated with determination, addressed directly

and precisely, strengthening its implementation and advancing its

ultimate goal of contributing to and nurturing better citizens.

The CMU Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) is a program that

highlights citizenship training and instills patriotism, moral virtues,

respect for the rights of civilians, and adherence to the constitution. The

ROTC continuously implements its mission under RA 9163 with ROTC as

one of the component activities in tertiary level education.

uplifting the people’s standard of living in communities classified as

3. What are the lead agencies that will monitor the implementation of

NSTP? Identify the roles/functions of these agencies during the

implementation. ( 300 words minimum ).

CHED Regional Officers, TESDA Provincial and District Offices, and

the DND-AFP through the major Service Reserve Commands and their

ROTC Units shall oversee if the training conducted aligns with the
Republic Act.

The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) is working with the

Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) and the

Department of National Defense (DND) to implement an improved and

strengthened National Continuing Education Program (NSTP) that will

help students with citizenship, readiness for defense and will act as the

first responder in national emergencies. The president of CHED, J.

Prospero E. De Vera III, the secretary of TESDA, Isidro S. Lapeña, and the

secretary of DND, Delfin N. Lorenzana, jointly signed an agreement in

the Ministry of Defense establishing a technical workgroup ( TWG) of

the NSTP, which will review the existing standards and application

regulations (TIR) of the Law of the Republic 9163 or the "Law on the

Training Program of the National Service of 2001". The NSTP program

has not been strictly monitored over the past 17 years and has not been

implemented consistently at all universities. This resulted in a high

turnover of NSTP coordinators, concerns about student safety while

immersing themselves in the community, and weak penalties for

colleges for violating the law and their TIR. In many areas, NSTP

students did not have insurance coverage during their extracurricular

activities, and many colleges did not offer all NSTP options, particularly
the Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC). President De Vera said

CHED, DND, and TESDA must work together to review what has

happened over the past few years and develop new guidelines that can

be issued to all colleges to achieve the NSTP's goal. to create an active

National Service Reserve Corps to serve the nation. “Recent

developments such as the implementation of Republic Law 10931 or

the“ Law on Universal Access to Quality Higher Education ”and its

impact on the NSTP fund, the change in the academic calendar, the

impact of the Basic K to 12 educational program and current national

security concerns make the revision and revision of the IRR urgently

needed, ”added De Vera. CHED will shortly issue a Memorandum of

Order (CMO) on NSTP guidelines and standards for common and

expanded modules for non-military programs under the NSTP. “The

Commission is serious that the NSTP supports government initiatives

and the needs of our country. The draft CMO is now subject to zonal

consultation, ”said De Vera. CHED, DN, D, and TESDA will work

together to revise the ROTC Instruction Program (POI) and consolidate

the non-military components of the NSTP (CWTS and LTS) to be DRRM-

oriented to complement the NSRC Operationalize AFP reserves.
