NARRATIVE REPORT ON COMMUNITY SERVICE OF BSTM-1

The National Service Training Program (NSTP) is a curriculum requirement for

all college students taking up baccalaureate degrees or 2-year technical
vocational courses starting SY 2002-2003. It was promulgated as a
Congressional action in the aftermath of the widespread nationwide protests
in 2001 calling for the abolition of the ROTC for its gross mismanagement and
the harsh bullying culture of its officers that led to fatalities among its cadet
corps. The NSTP restructured the defunct RA 7077 (AFP Reservist Act), the
latter requiring ROTC as mandatory, by reducing ROTC as merely optional
and voluntary, while adding two other programs (CWTS and LTS) from which
the college students may liberally choose to undergo and be trained. The NSTP
gave importance to the enhancement of civic consciousness without
compromising the national security needs of the country in the event of war,
thereby retaining the ROTC as a component program of the NSTP instead of
entirely abolishing it.

The NSTP aims to promote and integrate values education, transformational

leadership, spirit of patriotism and nationalism and sustainable social
mobilization for youth development, community building and national
security.

For the past 2 semesters, the BS Tourism Management students do not just
educate themselves on how to become academically inclined individuals but
also edify themselves on how to be of service to the community.

As the NSTP 2 concludes, it is imperative that the students will put into action
what they have learned for two semesters. And so, they have come up to a
productive project implementation and community integration.
The class has decided to conduct a Clean Up Drive Program at Pantua Gym
last March 14, 2020 despite the fact that the community is strictly
implementing preventive measures against the COVID-19 infection across the
country. They braved the day just to show the community that they are caring
and they are willing to be of service.

The students gathered at Pantua Gymnasium at 10:30 in the morning. After

series of orientation, groupings and final announcements, they started to to
proceed with the cleaning of the surroundings.

The following are the evidences of the students’ efforts.
