Activity #3: Reflection paper about the Importance of RA 9163 by Floro, Niema T.

What is RA 9163? It is known as the National Service Training Program (NSTP)


2001. It is an act establishing the NSTP for tertiary level student. It is a program that
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 (3) program components: Civic Welfare Training Service (CWTS), Literacy
Training Service (LTS) and Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC), especially
designed to enhance the youth’s active contribution to the general welfare.

Upon reading the RA 9163 also known as NSTP Program, I’ve learned that it
promotes to student to have a value education, spirit of patriotism and nationalism, it
also helps to develop discipline to the students and helps to develop love to others and
to the country. This days many students are aiming to graduate because they want to
work abroad and it’s their choice because we all know that the opportunities in other
countries is really high than in the Philippines, but it’s also saddening because we tend
to forget to serve our own country, we forget our Love to the country, so NSTP program
was a really a big help to remind us that we shouldn’t forget our own country, that we
should help our country and fellowmen to rise up and to fight to any circumstances that
the nation will face.

NSTP Program is a big help for reaching out to people, if you’re in LTS you’ll be able
to learn how to reach people most specially those who are in rural areas and can’t
afford the education, if they can’t go to school because they are not privileged as you
are and because their place is really far from the schools at least you can bring the
school to them by teaching them the basic skills like how to read and write. Apart from
that if you are in CWTS, you’ll able to help the environment and because of that you will
realize that the work of street sweeper is really hard, with that you’ll discipline yourself
by throwing your trash on the right place. Lastly if you’re in ROTC there is a possibility
that you’d want to become a civic/or military leaders and volunteers whom could be
called upon by the nation in cases your service is needed. With these simple act, we
can really make a difference with the help of the NSTP Program our eyes will be open
to what is reality and what is the best for our country and countrymen.

NSTP endows us with theoretical and practical knowledge and experiences that are
needed for community services and it opens a window for us to see the current situation
of the country. It trains us to respond to current challenges, harnessing our instinct for
national service, and also practice us the love for nationalism.
