I. Introduction to National Service Training Program

Introduction to NSTP

The Government pledged national security to its citizens, to protect and serve them in
every possible way in which, it will not despise the law of the land. In return, the primary
duty of the citizens is to preserve and protect the states by offering their service to the
country. In fulfillment of the national goal, the state gave birth to R.A. 9163 (NSTP act of
2001). NSTP (National Service Training Program) provides tertiary level students sufficient
information about social responsibility, nurturing the values of patriotism, love of country,
relationship with God, respect towards others and oneself, academic excellence and public
service. In such, the course is subdivided into three components.

ROTC (Reserve Officer Training Corps) provides military training for college students in
order to train them for national defense, in preparation for sudden attacks and threat
against the State.

CWTS (Community Welfare Taining Service) enables the youth to participate in community
based activities and programs for development, betterment and innovation for general
welfare.

LTS (Literacy Training Service) is designed to train students to attend to the educational
needs of school children, out of school youth, and other segments of society in need of
their service.

MANILA -- The Department of Education (DepEd) and World Vision on Wednesday

launched Brigada Pagbasa, a movement that seeks to enhance the reading skills of the
Filipino children.

In his speech, Tonisito Umali, DepEd Undersecretary for Legislative Affairs, External
Partnerships, and Project Management, said the initiative promotes community
participation in time for school opening, bringing together experts, policy-makers and
other stakeholders across all sectors-- from international and local agencies, as well as
public and private groups.

"Matagal na pong ginagawa ng World Vision ang ganitong proyekto in other shapes and
forms in Baseco [Manila] at iba pang mga lugar at kitang-kita ko po kung gaano ka-
epektibo ito para matulungan ang mga bata magbasa at aming mga guro na marami nang
ginagawa sa paaralan (World Vision has been doing this kind of project in other shapes
and forms in Baseco and other places and I can see how effective it is in helping kids read
and also our teachers who already have a lot of work in the schools)," Umali said.

While the DepEd implements programs and strategies which help young learners read,
Umali said there are still few students who cannot read or read with comprehension even
if they have gone up to a higher grade level.

According to the United Nations' (UN) 2016 report, the Philippines has the highest literacy
rate at 97.95 percent among Southeast Asian countries such as Brunei, Indonesia, and
Singapore.

The UN said the literacy rate among Filipino women aged 15 to 24 is 98.9 percent while
Filipino men of the same age have a 97 percent literacy rate.

It also reported there is still a staggering number of Filipino children who face literacy
challenges despite the country's improvement from the past years.

In line with this, World Vision Philippines executive director Rommel Fuerte said literacy is
one of the key factors which determines how well a country is progressing in a rapidly
changing world.

"We have an unfortunate reality where some Filipinos, both young and old, are still
struggling with their literacy skills. To become literate is an important component in the
development of children especially in this fast-paced, technology-driven age," Fuerte said.

"Brigada Pagbasa aims to unleash the potential in every child. This campaign is a life-long
commitment from all of us, perhaps, until every child receives an opportunity to be
educated and develop his or her full potential," he added.

Citing that Brigada Pagbasa promotes the concept of bayanihan or partnership between
public and private institutions, Umali said the project would create opportunities for all
stakeholders to contribute possible solutions to close the current gaps in Philippine
education.

Brigada Pagbasa will begin in November in several communities across the country to
educate every Filipino about the value of reading in line with the celebration of the
National Reading Month. (PNA)
