Summary of introduction and orientation

The National Service Training Program (NSTP) Act of 2001 (R.A. 9163) was enacted in response to public
clamor for reforms in the Reserved Officers Training Corps (ROTC) Program. This act affirms that the
prime duty of the government shall be to serve and protect its citizens. In turn, it shall be the
responsibility of all its citizens to defend the security of the State; thus, the government may require
each citizen to render personal, military or civil service. In the pursuit of these goals, the youth shall be
motivated, trained, organized, and mobilized in military training, literacy, civic welfare, and other similar
endeavors in service to the nation.

The NSTP is a program aimed at enhancing civic consciousness and defense preparedness in the youth
by developing the ethics of service and patriotism while undergoing training in any of its program
components.
