    This document provides a brief history of the National Service Training Program (NSTP) in the Philippines. It began in 1935 as a requirement for male college students to complete two years of military training. In 1980, a National Service Law made national service mandatory for all citizens and allowed college students to choose from civic welfare service, law enforcement service, or military service. The implementation of the law was later suspended except for military service. In 2001, large protests erupted in response to the death of a student during ROTC practices, leading to reforms that created the current National Training Service Program.

    INTRODUCTION OF NATIONAL SERVICE TRAINING PROGRAM


    (R.A. NO. 9163)

    Pursuant to Section 12 of Republic Act No. 9163, otherwise known as the National
    Service Training Program (NSTP) Act of 2001, the Commission on Higher Education
    (CHED), Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) and the
    Department of National Defense (DND), in consultation with concerned government
    agencies, the Philippine Association of State Universities and Colleges (PASUC), the
    coordinating Council of Private Education Association of the Philippines (COcOPEA),
    Non-Government Organizations and recognized student organizations, hereby jointly
    issue, adopt and promulgate the following implementing rules and regulations to
    implement the provisions of the Act.

    BRIEF HISTORY OF NSTP

    National Service Training Program (NSTP) started with the passage of


    Commonwealth Act No. 1 also known as National Defense Act. An act to provide
    national defense of the Philippines penalizing certain violations thereof appropriating
    funds therefore, and for other purposes. This is under the government of President
    Manuel L. Quezon (1935). It requires college students, specifically males to finish 2
    years or 4 semesters of Military Training to be reserved cadets of the National
    Defense of the country.

    In August 8, 1980, the Commonwealth Act No. 1 was amended to give existence to
    Presidential Decree No. 1706 or National Service Law which mandates
    compulsory national service to all citizens of the country. It is composed of three
    main component programs, namely Civic Welfare Service (CWS), Law Enforcement
    Service (LES), and Military Service. College students were given an option to choose
    one among these components to comply as a requirement of tertiary education.

    After the ouster of President Marcos the implementation of the National Service Law
    except the provisions of Military Service was suspended by Presidential
    Memorandum Order No. 1 of President Corazon C. Aquino. It became Basic
    Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) that took effect on SY 1986-1987.

    In the year 1991, the Implementing Rules and Regulations of Republic Act 7077
    modified the Basic ROTC Course to Expanded ROTC Program as mandated. The
    modification is composed of military subject in the first year and any of the following
    components: MTS, CWTS, and LES in the second year curriculum.

    On March 18, 2001, a dead body was found wrapped in a carpet and floating in the
    Pasig River. The face was wrapped in packing tape and the hands and face were
    bounded Body was identified as Mark Welson Chua, 19 year old Engineering student
    University of Santo Tomas (UST), reportedly a victim of illegal ROTC practices lead to
    a massive protest of the college students and concerned parents against the ROTC
    program. Since then, Expanded ROTC program morphed into National Training
    Service Program (NSTP).
