MODULE 1
“Implementing NSTP Rules and Regulations”
Republic Act No. 9163 establishes the National Service Training Program or NSTP (for tertiary
level students) amending for the purpose as stated on the Republic Act No. 7077 and PD No.
1706.
The National Service Training Program (NSTP) is defined under Republic Act No. 9163, section
3, as a program aimed ‘at enhancing civic consciousness and defense preparedness in the youth
by developing the ethics of service and patriotism while undergoing training in any of its three
program components.
Since NSTP requires training, civic consciousness can be enhanced by doing community
immersion which is an integral part of Civic Welfare Training Service (CWTS) and Literacy
Training Service (LTS) while defense preparedness is enhanced through the Reserve Officer
Training Corps (ROTC).
“Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world” by Howard Zinn
Components of the NSTP:

 ROTC
 CWTS
 LTS
CWTS and LTS deal with civic enhancement while ROTC Focuses on defense or military
preparedness. To understand further, section 3 of Republic Act No. 9163, the program
Components of NSTP are defined as:
1. Reserve Officer’s Training Corps (ROTC) - refers to the program component institutionalized
under
Sections 38 and 39 of Republic Act No. 7077, designed to provide military training to tertiary
level students in order to motivate, train, organize, and mobilize them for national defense
preparedness.
2. Literacy Training Service - is the program component designed to train students to teach
literacy and numeracy skills to school children, out of school youths, and other segments of the
society in need of their services.
3. Civic Welfare Training Service - pertains to the program component or activities contributory
to the general welfare and the betterment of life for the members of the community or the
enhancement of its facilities, especially those devoted to improving health, 0ducation,
environment, entrepreneurship, safety, recreation, and moral of the citizenry and other social
welfare services. These three components differ in specialization.

NSTP-CWTS SERVICE COMPONENTS:

 Safety and Security- This area involves disaster preparedness during fire, earthquake or
other calamity that needs to immediate response from any trained civilians during
emergency situations. Basic life saving seminar, fire drill and the like are some of these
examples.
 Education- This area involves enhancement of institutional support materials and
facilities for the community and school such as providing materials containing basic
literacy skills for pre-schoolers, alternative learning system for out of school youths and
adults, mathematics and science tutorials and extended services of skilled students.
 Recreation- This area involves sports fest, parlor games for street children and painting
that enrich youth’s capacities to relate with one another in the community.
 Values and moral Recovery- This involves the developments of youth to be good
leaders, responsible individuals imbued with good moral values and active agent of
development of the community.
 Industry and Entrepreneurship- This area includes programs and activities that are vital
to economic growth. CWTS students demonstrate technical skills in communities like
meat processing, silkscreen making and how to establish small business.
 Care for Health- This area aims to give knowledge on medical-related fields and extend
health services needed in the community. It includes medical services like first-aid
operation, vaccination, info dissemination, basic life-saving seminars, health/ nutrition
technical assistance and training of youth to be first aid assistants.
 Environment- This area inculcates environmental awareness and its contribution to
health and related fields. It involves management of waste, environmental protection,
dissemination and application of technologies supportive of the community needs and
livelihood activities related to environment and other related fields supportive of the
national thrust.
ROTC focuses on the military science training wherein students are trained in preparation for war , while
CWTS and LTS deal with civic enhancement through community immersion programs. The difference
between LTS and CWTS les on the program implementation. Literacy Training Service is designed to
train future teachers of the nation for eradicating illiteracy of children and out of school youths while
Civic Welfare Training Service is designed to promote general welfare to the community.

School Director
Is every first year student covered by the NSTP Law? -Every first year student effective School
Year 2002-2003 male or female, enrolled in any baccalaureate degree and in at least two years
Technical-Vocational or associate course is required to complete at least one of the three
components of the NSTP as a graduation requirement and as stipulated in Republic Act No.
9163, Rule 3, section 4a
What if a student is a second-degree taker? A graduate of associate course before SY 2003-

2004 or a transferee who took the NSTP from other University? -Based on Republic Act
No.9163, Rule 3. Sections 4a1 4a2 and 4a3, students who finished or graduated before School
Year 2003 and 2004 are exempted to take the NSTP. Also, exempted are those students who
completed any of the three components but considered freshmen to the course where they
transferred or shifted; foreign students and students of Philippine Merchant Marine Academy,
Philippine National Police Academy, and Philippine Military Academy in view of the special
character of these institutions.
What is the time duration of the NSTP Program? -Rule 6, sections 6a and 6b of Republic Act
No. 9163 clarified the course duration of NSTP wherein every student shall take NSTP for an
academic period of two semesters which consist of 3 units per semester with a minimum of 54
hours and a maximum of 90 training hours per semester It can also be undertaken for one
summer program in lieu of the two semesters of the institution allows it.
Do students need to pay NSTP fee? -This question is best answered by referring to Rule 4,
section 9 of the NSTP law which states that No fees shall be collected for any of the NSTP
components except basic tuition, not be more than fifty (50%) percent of the charges of the
school per academic unit. Even though NSTP law stipulated that only basic tuition can be
collected, there are some universities that require minimal fee for uniform with consent from
the concerned authorities. The reason for this is for identification and safety of the students,
since most of the NSTP Programs are done outside the university.
What will the students receive after completing NSTP Program? -Every student will be given a
certificate of completion with corresponding serial number issued by CHED, TESDA, and DND as
reflected in Rule 6, section 12 of Republic Act No. 9163. All graduates of the CWTS and LTS
components of the NSTP shall belong to the National Service Reserve Corps (NSRC) and could
be tapped by the state for literacy and civic welfare activities especially in times of calamities,
while those graduates of ROTC shall form part of the Citizen Armed Forces pursuant to
Republic Act No. 7077 as stipulated in Rule 5, sections 11a and 11c of the NSTP law.

“The Filipino Way: Blood and Heart of Today”
Patriotism and Nationalism are often marred by lack of clarity due to the failure to distinguish
the two. Many authors use the two terms interchangeable. Among those who do not, quite a
few have made the distinction in ways that are not very helpful.
"Nationalism is nourished by a sense of history. It is of its essence to know profoundly the past,
so that may be in complete openness with the men who made that history and in intimate
Communion with their thoughts, their deeds, and their noble lives" - Claro M. Recto Jr.
In the 19th Century, Lord Acton contrasted “Nationality” and “Patriotism” as affection and
instinctive vs. moral relation. Nationality is “our connection with the race” that is “merely
natural or physical” while Patriotism is the awareness of our moral duties to the political
community (Acton, 1972). In the 20th century, Elie Kedourie did the opposite, presenting
nationalism as a full-fledge philosophical and political doctrine about nations as basis units of
humanity within the individual can find freedom and fulfillment, and patriotism as mere
sentiment of affection for one’s country (Kedourie, 1985)
Nationalism and Patriotism
George
Orwell contrasted
the two in terms of
aggressive
vs. defensive
attitudes.
Nationalism
is about power: its adherent wants to acquire as much power and prestige as possible for his
nation, in which he submerges his individuality. While nationalism is accordingly aggressive,
patriotism is defensive: it is a devotion to a particular place and a way of life one thinks best but
has no wish to impose on others (Orwell, 1968). When these are exhibited in a reasonable
degree and without ill thoughts about others and hostile actions towards them, that is
patriotism; when they become unrestrained and cause one to think ill of others and act badly
towards them, that is nationalism. Conveniently enough, it usually turns out that we are
patriots, while they are nationalists (Billig. 1995)
Ways to Express Filipino Nationalism

IMPLEMENTATION:
1st – 3rd
Meeting
School Director
Nationalism is a devotion of love for one's country. A country's identity is seen through
its culture, traditions, religions, beliefs, and even the unity or togetherness of the people in it.
An online article from "Our Happy School" listed some of the following ways to express Filipino
nationalism:
 Be aware of the issues in our country.

 Stand proud for every Filipinos achievement.
 Patronize and support our own product.
 Preserve the Filipino culture
 Speak out Our own language.
 Remember and commemorate our heroes' sacrifices for our country.
Ways to Show Filipino Patriotism
According to Wikipedia, patriotism is "a devotion to one's country for no other reason
than being a citizen of that country." Simply saying how one is proud to be a Filipino but
without action proves to be not enough. The following are simple ways to show the world how
devoted we really are to our country and to our fellow countrymen. An article from
"Athanology Word Press" enumerated some of the following ways to show Filipino patriotism:
 Know that Lupang Hinirang is the title of our national anthem and not Bayang Magiliw.
 Do not litter and do not smoke in public places
 Stay alive! Use overpasses, underpasses, footbridges etc.
 Obey road rules so you won't need to bribe MMDA traffic enforcers.
 Mountaineers, when you go up there, bring your garbage down with you.
 Report police officers riding motorcycles with no helmet.
 Be a responsible neighbor. Just because you got the microphone doesn’t mean we want
to hear you belt out your favorite videoke piece, especially when it's already midnight.
 Be a responsible FX passenger. Sit accordingly and share the air-conditioning to
everyone.
 Watch at least one or two Filipino movies in a year.
 Do some volunteering works or at least donate.
 Magsalita at mag-blog sa Filipino!
When it comes to Scope, nationalism has a bigger and wider coverage as compared to
patriotism. Meaning, patriotism can be categorized as under the larger umbrella of nationalism.

valid ID which is inclusive of your photo, autograph and home address. None of the three
qualifications must be underprovided.

Suffrage is the human right to vote and, for the Philippines, is indicated in three documents: the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR); the International Covenant on Civil and Political
Rights; and the 1987 Philippine Constitution. They all call for universality of the right; equality in
access to public service; and secrecy of votes. This right is exercised during elections, and as a
citizen- voter, you are entitled to free and informed choice on whom to vote . Every political

“Understanding the Filipino Value System”
Values are the bases of judging what attitudes and behavior are correct and desirable and what
are not. After the Revolution of February 1986, the Department of Education, Culture, and
Sports made values education a primary thrust. Similarly, the DECS thrust found strong support
in the Philippine Constitution of 1987 in its vision of "a just and humane society," which calls for
a shared culture and commonly held values such as "truth, justice, freedom, love, equality and
peace." (Preamble)
Filipino cultural values are widely held beliefs which make some activities, relationships, goals
and feelings important to the Filipino people's identity. When these Filipino values coalesce and
mesh in a mutually supportive system, it is called "Filipino value system”. The Filipinos
internalize these values of their culture and thus create for themselves a "world of meanings”.
Fr. Vitaliano Gorospe in his essay on "Understanding the Filipino Value System" discussed
about the value philosophy; Filipino values, its nature, constellation, and context; and Filipino
values, its ambivalence and split-level Christianity. According to Fr. Gorospe, Cory Aquino
embodied all that a Filipino wanted his or her President to be credible honest, just, with a
strong faith in God and in her people.
Values- from the latin word “valere” which means strong and vigorous
Jocano (2000)- concepts which we use as points of a reference or criteria for recognizing,
expressing and evaluating social realities in the environment in terms of:
 Desirability
 Importance
 Significance
 Worth
 Quality
 Merit
 Price
 Usefulness
Edgar Shefield Brightman- whatever is actually likes, prized, esteemed, desired, approved or
enjoyed by anyone at any time.
Andres (1989)- it is the actual experience of enjoying a desired object or activity. Hence, value
is an existing realization of desire.
IMPLEMENTATION:
1st – 3rd
Meeting
School Director
Standard Value
 We decide on things depending on some valid criteria that would provide credibility to
pursue such action.
 One is guided with his/her own or commonly accepted norms in realizing a particular
end.
 Its function to direct our way of looking at things towards a desirable result.
Value System- one of the important elements in Filipino culture

Other Elements are:
 Basic personality
 Basic social unit
 Politics
 Economics
 Technology
 Ecology
Filipino can be translated as:

 Buti- it is something desired of what is good
 Pamantayan- standards which enable us to organize our ideas and interpret things,
events or actions
 Halaga- worth. Importance, evaluation or assessment
 Ganda- encompassing everything that is to be pursued. What is beautiful must be
realized
4 Types of Value by Robin Williams

1. Extensive of the value- in the total activity of the system. What proportion of the
population manifests the value? How many of the people in the community are
applying?
2. Duration of the value- When was this value implemented? Was it persistently
important over a period of time?
3. Intensity with which the value is sought or maintained- as shown through efforts,
choices, verbal affirmation and by reactions to threats to the value
4. Prestige of value carriers- Who are the implementers of the value? Do they posses the
integrity to be such models of the value?
Stages and Development of Filipino Value Formation
1. PRECONDITIONAL STAGE: CHILDHOOD
 Is the phase wherein children comply with the values of those assert power on
them (parents, teachers, nuns, and priests)
IMPLEMENTATION:
1st – 3rd
Meeting
School Director
2. THE CONVENTIONAL STAGE: YOUTH

 During the conventional stage or youth, adolescence identify with their peers,
idols and teachers due to interpersonal communication
3. POSTCONVENTIONAL STAGE: ADULTHOOD
 The people internalized the values they have imbibed in the first two stages
without fear.
Pamantayan System: An alternative Approach to Filipino Value System
Landa F. Jocano- pamantayan is the appropriate model for understanding the Filipino
traditional value system. The model rightfully answers the question: “Why do Filipinos behave
the way they do?” The answer is unanimous: because they observe the same pamantayan
doing things
Social Acceptance- refers to the way of life of Filipinos to be recognized or acknowledged by

their fellowmen and social groups
Pakikisama- is yielding to the will of the majority or to the leader which could result to both to
positive and negative behavior. It refers to one’s effort to get along with everybody
Fr. Frank Lynch- defined pakikisama as the ability to get along with each other’s in such way as
to avoid signs of conflict. Camaraderie among Filipino makes them flexible and easy to be with.
Pakikisama occurs when teenagers join their peer groups in a drinking spree for fear of
incurring the groups disapproval

IMPLEMENTATION:

School Director
EUPHEMISM- stating an unpleasant truth, opinion or request as pleasantly as possible. In order

not to offend others, direct, harsh and brutal words must be avoided
The use of a Go-Between to Preserved or Restore Smooth Interpersonal Realations (SIR)

 Go-Between or middleman is a way of social acceptance to avoid being embarrassed in
a face to face confrontation that may bring about an uncomfortable feeling of shame
Middleman- is used when a person needs his/her promotion or appointment papers signed.
When following up documentations or when in need of certifications
Pakikiramdam- a value affecting the team’s spirit
Personalism- emphasizes the importance of the person with whom one has immediate face to
face contact over the abstract rule of law or common good
Personalism is manifested in practices such us:

 Pakiusap (request)
 Lagay o aregalo (fixing)
 Plakasan (use of power and influence)
 Nepotism
 Favoratism
Friendship and Kinship- play important roles in the reciprocal relationship between parties
Nepotism- is the employment of relatives to share an individual’s good fortune
NONRATIONALISM- refers to the tendency to perceive thoughts, objects, events and person as
sacred
 Aminism- is the belief that a spirit pervades in activities
 Fatalism- expresses the bahala na attitude which means leaving matters as they are
because nature will take its course
It is believing that life depends on:
 Swerte or buenas (good luck)
 Tadhana (decried fate)
 Malas (bad luck)
Bahala na- is an expression which expresses that fatalistic outlook of the Filipino. It happens
when one simply resigns to the consequences of life’s difficulties
Expressions which reflect bahala na are:
 Iginuhit ng tadhana (decried by fate)
 Malas (bad luck)
 Swerte (good luck)
IMPLEMENTATION:
1st – 3rd
Meeting
School Director
 Gulong ng palad (life’s ups and downs)

 Tsamba (undeserved success brought about by luck)
In every positive way, bahala na is what makes people move, take risks, and plan for the
future (Panopio & Rolda, 2000)
Bayanihan: Team Spirit- denotes camaraderie among the people in the community and
connotes helping one another in time of need
Utang na Loob: Infinite Responsibility- portrays our true identity based on our concern and
response to others.
 Pagtanaw- is the unending gratitude but this is not enough because the responsibility to
others does not end since pagpapakatao has no limits, same with pakikipagkapwa-tao
Hospitality: A Welcome Attitude
 Bukas-Loob na Pagtanggap- Filipinos open their hearts to complete strangers and offer
them the best in their homes
2 Hospitable Attitudes:
1. Tao po? Tuloy!
(Is there anybody home? Welcome!)- invites a down to earth encounter between a

Disvalued Perceptions explained by Jocano

 Some critics portray Filipino values as possessing no value at all: they are negative
 They say values have “damage” our culture, brought about the ‘ills in our society’, given
rise to our ‘undesirable traits’, brought about weaknesses in our character as a people
and have caused the ‘moral breakdown’ of our institutions
 We were made to believe that what is imported must be better that its local
counterpart

Filipino Value System and National Development: A Cultural Challenge

Hilario David
 Culture simply rendered people’s lives meaningful
 It was a source of identity of confidence and of self-esteem
 It allows people to understand the world and to define their places within it
 Culture permitted communities and generations to share a common memory
Filipinos are:
 Proud of being puspusang-loob
 Mapamaraan (resourceful) and mapanuklas (ingenous)- part of their being resourceful
is their use of ANTING-ANTING (amulets and charms)
 Filipinos know their competence (kilala ang kakayahan)
 “kayang-kaya mo yan” is the encouraging phrase of the Filipinos to for their best
through tiyaga
 Imbued with lakas ng loob (self-confidence or self-reliance)
In their desire for social acceptance, Filipinos are:
 Marunong makibagay
 Marunong makiisa
 Marunong makilahok
 Marunong makipagpalagayang loob
 Marunong makisalamuha
 Marunong makisangkop
 Marunong makitungo
 Marunong makisama
Filipinos are likened to a bamboo which symbolizes flexibility, endurance and harmony with
nature
Bahala na attitude should not be judge as a fatalistic resignation or withdrawal from an

engagement or crisis but because of their kababaang-loob
 It is manifested by their daop-palad habit
 Their relationship with God is the source of their malinis at tapat na panunungkulan

“Filipino Value”
"Many Filipinos are what / call Sunday-religious, that is they go to church every Sunday, take in
confession and communion, but the rest of the week they bribe and do corrupt deeds..." by Dr.
PuraSantillan-Castrence
According to Fr. Gorospe, we need both external structural and internal cultural change. It is
here that the Christian faith should, in the last analysis, point the way to the kind of values
education needed for national reconstruction.
Filipino Values- refers to the set of values majorities of the Filipino have historically held
important in their lives. This Philippine value system includes their own unique assemblage of
consistent ideologies, moral code ethical practices, etiquette, and values that are promoted by
their society
Philippines Values: Strengths to Filipino Characters
Close Family Ties

 To a Filipino, family comes first & family is everything
 This family solidarity keeps a Filipino to be positive amidst everything
 He works hard to ensure a better for the family
 Family is evidently highly valued in the Philippines; thus, the government also
strengthens Filipino family and in great support to ensure work-family balance
Bayanihan
 Bayanihan is a core essence of the Filipino culture. It is helping out one’s neighbor as a
community. and doing a task together, thus lessening the workload and making the job
easier. It also called the ‘community spirit’. It is best exhibited when people wish to
move locations in the rural area. The traditional Filipino house, the ‘bahay kubo’, can be
moved using wooden poles which are carried from the old place to the new one. This
requires a group of people to lift and carry the house on their shoulders
Magalang (Respectful)
 Filipinos are respectful. We see this in how we address our elderly people
 Tagalogs say “po” and “opo” when addressing someone older than
 We also have various titles like “kuya” for an older brother or older male cousin, “ate”
for an older sister or older female cousin
 There’s also the popular “mano” where younger people reach for the hands of their
elderly and touch it to their foreheads

Utang na Loob
 “Utang na Loob” or debt of gratitude- Filipinos always recognize one’s indebtedness.
This means that he owned to a person who has helped him through the trials he
undergone. He repays that person in whatever kind, whatever time and situation. It is
one way of showing deep appreciation for lending out a hand
Hospitable
 The Filipino community are very warm and hospitable. They even give “pasalubong”
(welcome) and “pabaon” (farewell gifts) to guest. At times, they sacrifice their own
comfort to accommodate their guests very well
Pakikisama
 It means getting along with others to preserve a harmonious relationship. It invites the
Filipinos to do good and to be nice companion
 The value of pakikisama is also sharing one’s wealth, talent, time and self with fellow
human beings and working together for a common good. This value bridges the gap
between cultures
Hiya
 It is a Filipino value that is difficult to translate, literally it has several meanings such as
shy, timid, sensitive rather than ashamed. Filipinos believe they must live up to the
accepted standards of behavior and make it a point no to cause another person’s
embarrassment. Each is anticipated to have “hiyain” the way they behave to win
respect from the community. This is a value that gives a Filipino a sense of social
decency and politeness.
Respect to Others
 Filipinos regards others with dignity and respect. This is being observed in a basic sense
of justice, fairness and concern for other fellowmen, nature or animals.
Hiya, pakikisama, utang na loob & respect to others make a Filipino an individual with unique
moral obligation to treat one another resulting to community ties. These values make Filipinos
friendly, hospitable, polite & loyal.
In brief, the Filipino core values influence how they behave The Philippines is recognized in
having in any situation "collectivist" culture indicated by close family ties and community ties in
society. Filipino values are centered at preserving social harmony, motivated main by the
desire to be accepted within a group. This makes a Filipino a reliable person that can easily
integrate and work with anyone, anytime, anyhow & anywhere.
