 Identify NSTP-CWTS Dimensions
of Development
 Plan a proposal project aligned with
NSTP-CWTS
What is the legal basis of NSTP? 
The National Service Training Program (NSTP)
Law or RA 9163 also known as “An
Act Establishing the National Service
Training Program (NSTP) for tertiary level
students, amending for the purpose Republic
Act No. 7077 and Presidential Decree No.
1706, and for the other purposes,” was
enacted last January 2002 to amend the
Expanded ROTC.

The National Service Training Program (NSTP)
is a government-mandated citizenship course
required for all Filipino college students. 
This program aims to enhance
civic consciousness and defense preparedness
in the youth by developing the ethics of service

All higher and technical-vocational education
institutions must at least offer one of the NSTP
components.
THE NSTP-CWTS DIMENSIONS
OF DEVELOPMENT
S- Safety and Security
E- Education
R- Recreation
V- Values Formation and Moral Recovery
I-Industry and Entrepreneurship
C- Care for Health
E- Environment
Safety and Security
- This area involves disaster preparedness
during fire, earthquake or other calamity
that needs immediate response from
any trained civilians during emergency
situations. Basic life saving seminar, fire
drill and the like are some of these
examples.
Education
- This area involves enhancement of
institutional support materials and
facilities for the community and school
such as providing materials containing
basic literacy skills for preschoolers,
alternative learning system for out-of-
school youths and adults, mathematics
and science tutorials and extended
services of skilled students.
Recreation
- This area involves sports fest, parlor
games for street children and painting
that enrich youth’s capacities to relate
with one another in the community
Values Formation and Moral Recovery
- This involves the development of youth
to be good leaders, responsible
 individuals imbued with good moral
values and active agent of development
of the community.
Industry and Entrepreneurship
- This area includes programs and
activities that are vital to economic
growth. CWTS students demonstrate
technical skills in communities like meat
processing, silkscreen making and how
to establish small business.
Care for Health
- This area aims to give knowledge on
medical-related fields and extend health
services needed in the community. It
includes medical services like first- aid
operation, vaccination, info
dissemination, basic life saving
seminars, heath/nutrition technical
assistance and training of youth to be
first aid assistants.
Environment
- This area inculcates environmental
awareness and its contribution to health
and related fields. It involves
management of waste, environmental
protection, dissemination and
application of technologies supportive of
the community needs and livelihood
activities related to environment and
other related fields supportive of the
national thrust.
Understanding Self and Others
 Aristotle (384-322 BC)
 Man is a rational animal”
 Man is by nature a political animal”
EXISTENTIALISM
 Create you purpose
 Existentialism is a philosophy
that emphasizes individual existence, fre
edom and choice. It is the view that
humans define their own meaning in life
and try
make rational decisions despite existing
in an irrational universe. 
 It focuses on the question of human
existence, and the feeling that there
is no purpose or explanation at the core
of existence.  world; other people, events, actions, things
 It holds that, as there is no God or any
other transcendent force, the only
way to counter this nothingness (and
hence to find meaning in life) is
by embracing existence.
 Thus, Existentialism believes
that individuals are entirely free and
must take personal
responsibility for themselves (although
with this responsibility comes angst, a
profound anguish or dread). 
 It
therefore emphasizes action, freedom a
nd decision as fundamental, and holds
that the only way to rise above the
essentially absurd condition of humanity
(which is
characterized by suffering and inevitable
death) is by exercising our
personal freedom and
choice (a complete rejection
of Determinism).
ESSENTIALISM
 Find your purpose
 Essentialism, at its simplest, is the view
that things have essences (the attribute,
or set of attributes, that
make an object or substance what
it fundamentally is). 
 Thus, for any specific kind of entity,
there is a
set of characteristics (or properties or tr
aits), all of which any entity of that
kind must have. A member of a specific
kind of entity
may possess other characteristics but
these neither establish nor preclude its
membership.
 It is contrasted with Non-
Essentialism (which states that there
are no specific traits which any given
kind of entity must have),
and with Nominalism (which states
that abstract concepts, general
terms or universals have
no independent existence but exist only
as names).
Science tells:
 Understand yourself
 Understand the others
to  Speak his language
The direction of our attention and energy
Extravert (E) – is focusing on the outside
Introvert (I) – Is focusing on the internal
world; thoughts, emotions, experiences
The way we make decisions
Thinking (T) – makes decisions onjectively
using logic.
Feeling (F) – makes decisions subjectively
using feeling.

How to understand the other?

 Observe the behavior
 Listen what he/she is talking about
 Analyze

Makes the world a better place by making

yourself a better person.
