OVERVIEW

The Philippine Constitution provides that the defense of the

state is a prime duty of the government and the people. In
fulfillment of this duty, all citizens may be required by law to
render personal military or civil service. It further states that it
is the duty of the citizen to contribute to our country’s
development in the attainment and preservation of a just and
orderly society. The National Service Training Program
(NSTP) Act of 2001 mandates all citizens, both male and
female, to fulfill this civic duty.

Responding to the urgent needs of our developing country

today and in the foreseeable future, it is equally vital to
develop and enhance civic consciousness among the young
generation to ensure national security and development.
NSTP, therefore, enables the youth, as the most valuable
resource of the Filipino nation, to be motivated, developed,
and utilized in regard to their responsibilities as citizens and in
fulfillment of their civil obligations.

PHASES OF STUDY

PHASES/PARAMETERS CONTENT STANDARD/TEACHING EXPECTED

AND LEARNING ACTIVITIES OUTCOME
(TLA)
1. Introduction National service programs are a global
phenomenon. Contrary to the claims of
vocal opponents to compulsory service,
the nation that recognizes civic duty,
through one form of mandatory service or
another, span the political, economic, and
cultural spectrum.

In keeping with the concept of

national service, the 1987 Philippine
Constitution enshrined in its Declaration
of Principles that the Filipinos are duty-
bound to protect the country and, as
such, they may be subjected to undergo
service programs. This requirement is
premised on the constitutional provision,
which provides that, “The prime duty of
the Government is to serve and protect
the people. The Government may call
upon the people to defend the state, and
8 of 14
 QF-ACD-027

in fulfillment thereof, all citizens may be

required, under conditions provided by
law, to render personal military or civil
service” (Art. II, Sec. 4, The Philippine
Constitution)

Along this line of thought, the same

Constitution, under its State Policies,
prescribes the involvement of the young
generation in the community affairs in
order to secure the nation. Article II, Sec.
13, is clear, to wit, “The State recognizes
the vital role of the youth in nation-
building and shall promote and protect
their physical, moral, spiritual,
intellectual, and social well-being. It shall
inculcate in the youth patriotism and
nationalism and encourage their
involvement in public and civic affairs.

These tenets of the Constitution lend

its support to the youth in the promotion
of general welfare in pursuit of charting
the country’s development roadmap. This
is an affirmation that the youth remains
the bastion of hope for the years ahead,
particularly those who are in school, as
they constitute rich reservoir of
productive manpower.

Directed towards attaining the

collective assertions of these philosophies
underpinning the ends of education and
national service, a landmark legislation
was made through the passage of
Republic Act No. 9163. Also known as the
NSTP Act of 2001, this law is premised on
the youth’s pivotal role as a potent force
in bringing forth much-avowed goals of
development in the country.

The NSTP Act superseded R.A. No.

7077 of 1991 (Citizen Armed Forces of
the Philippines Reservist Act). This law
created the Reserve Force providing the
base for the expansion of the Armed
Forces of the Philippines through the
9 of 14
 QF-ACD-027

Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC),

mandating military training of students
enrolled in colleges, universities, and
other similar institutions of learning.

The primary objective of NSTP is to

highlight the role of the youth in building
a strong Republic, invoking gender
equality and development through the
inclusion of female students in national
service training. As such, it aims to
develop the youth to become civic or
military leaders and volunteers through a
modified, restructured and reinforced
training package who could be called
upon by the nation in cases their services
are needed and in the event of disasters
or emergencies.

It can be summarized that NSTP,

however, as a form of citizenship
training, affords its student-trainees the
opportunity to demonstrate practical and
functional knowledge as well as life skills,
especially problem-solving in daily life.
