II. ENGAGEMENT IN RELEVANT CONTENT ANDAPPROPRIATE LEARNING ACTIVITY/ACTIVITIES

1.1 HISTORICAL AND LEGAL BACKGROUND OF NSTP

The NSTP is a result of the government’s intentionto reform the ROTC. Therefore, in tracing the development of the NSTP,
we may find ourselves exploring into the origin of ROTC.

Commonwealth Act No. 1

An Act otherwise known as the National Defense Act drafted by Colonel Ike Eisenhower and signed by President Manuel L.
Quezon on December 23, 1935. This law designed the Philippine Army as a citizen army. Wherein, Filipino youth at the age of
18 were supposed to be subject to military training (Ople, 2001). As a result, military training became compulsory for male
college students beforegraduation.

Presidential Decree No. 1706

During the time of President Ferdinand E. Marcos, PD No. 1706 otherwise known as National ServiceLaw was issued. The Decree
aimed to provide for compulsory national service for Filipino citizens and amending certain provisions of Commonwealth Act No. 1. In
section 2 of PD No. 1706 it was stated:
“National service shall be obligatory for all citizens
of the Philippines. AS used in this decree, National
service “shall consist of three main programs
namely: civic welfare service, law enforcement, and
military service.”

The NSTP of PD No. 1706 is composed of MilitaryService (MST), Civic Welfare Service (CWS), and Law Enforcement Service
(LES). However, this law was not fully implemented except for the MSTS.

Republic Act No. 7077

On September 167, 1991, Congress passed Republic Act No. 7077, otherwise known as The Citizen Armed Forces Reservist
Act. Under this law, graduates of ROTC basic and advance courses were considered “reservist” or citizen soldiers. Section 38 of
R.A. No. 7077 provided that studentsin colleges, universities and similar institutions of learning were required to enroll in the
ROTC program.

As stated in Section 39 of R.A. No. 7077, the ROTC program involves two (2) years of mandatory basicROTC training. Advance
two-year training, though was voluntary. The proivision of R.A. No. 7077 continued to be implemented until the passage of
R.A. No. 9163 in 2002.

Enactment of Republic Act No. 9163

For many years, students expressed disgruntlementover the content, conduct, staff incompetence andalleged corruption in the
ROTC program. This wasexemplified by the article of Bert Sulat Jr. published in Today in June 6, 2001 states:
“...for the last few decades the ROTC has been the bane of what, 99 percent
male college students in the country, and I am surprised and grateful that
the program and its proponents arefinally being taken to task (the
establishment of the NSTP)

The murder of Sgt. Major Mark Welson Chua of the UST, alleged by the ROTC training staff forsquealing corruption, turned 2001
into a year of protest by students, university and college administrators, and coalition of represented by the presidents of nine
U-belt schools, published an official statement entitled THE ROTC: Excising Cancer in a number of dailies (Sulat, 2001). This
marked call for the abolition of the ROTC, which accoridng to the late Sen. Renato Cayetano “…is no longer responsive to the
needs of the present time” and it “encourages and breeds graft and corruption” (Nocum, 2001).

In response to the call of the public to reform the ROTC program, both the House of Representatives and the Senate passed bill.

House Bill No. 9163 was passed and signed into law by President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo on January 23, 2002 and was
implemented in academic year 2002 to 2003.

Republic Act 7722 – Higher Education Act of1994
