In 2001, the Philippine Government made revisions to ROTC, making the program optional and
voluntary. Because of this, a new training programs were created for those who did not opt for ROTC
training,[5] but were still able to serve their country.

LEARNING ACTIVITY

The Philippines, with its long history of war, established the law that would require civilians,
particularly able-bodied men at the age of 18-60 to be trained in military welfare. That is in order to
become prepared when our counry encounters danger, these trained people will become part of the
country's reserved corps. ROTC or the Reserved officers training Corps was the only program that was
taken in schools; one of which is the University of Sto. Tomas Golden Corps of cadets. GCC was one of
the most renouned corps that passed military requiremnts, therefore the scandal in the corps shook the
whole counThis involves the death of Mark Chua, an ROCcade wgo ws killed because he told Sto. Tomas
Officials the courruption that happened in the ROTC camp.

As a member of the ROTC unit's intelligence monitoring team, he had first-hand knowledge of
corruption within the organization, which he and another student, Romulo Yumol,[3] divulged to UST's
official student publication The Varsitarian in January 2001. This resulted in the relief of then-
commandant Major Demy T Tejares and his staff

Chua received death threats after his revelations. The new ROTC commandant advised him to undergo
security training at Fort Bonifacio. On 15 March 2001, he was supposed to meet with an agent but he
was never seen alive again. Three days later his decomposing body, wrapped in a carpet, was found
floating in the Pasig River near the Jones Bridge.[3] His hands and feet were tied and his face wrapped in
cloth and packing tape. The autopsy report showed that sludge was in his lungs, indicating that he was
alive when he was thrown into the river.[1] In order to mislead investigators, his abductors had
pretended to demand ransom from the Chua family

On 31 March 2004, Arnulfo Aparri, Jr.,[3] one of the four suspects in the killing of Chua, was sentenced
to die by lethal injection, and was ordered to pay Php 50,000.00 to the victim's family as indemnity. His
sentence was later commuted to life imprisonment without parole after the death penalty was
abolished in 2006.[5] Another of the accused, Eduardo Tabrilla, pleaded guilty to homicide and was
sentenced to 6-14 years of imprisonment in 2006.[6] The whereabouts of the two other suspects, Paul
Joseph Tan and Michael Von Rainard Manangbao remain uncertain.[3]
