Components of NSTP

#1*Reserve Officers' Training Corps* (ROTC)

- in the Philippines is one of three components of the National Service Training Program, the civic
education and defense preparedness program for Filipino college students.[1] ROTC aims to provide
military education and training for students to mobilize them for national defense preparedness.[2] Its
specific objectives include preparation of college students for service in the Armed Forces of the
Philippines in the event of an emergency and their training to become reservists and potential
commissioned officers of the AFP.Graduates of the ROTC advance program serve in all branches of the
Armed Forces of the Philippines. In 2008, ROTC graduates of the officer candidate schools of the various
services constituted roughly 75% of the AFP officer corps.[3] The ROTC grants qualified student-cadets
scholarship benefits through a merit-based incentive program in return for an obligation of military
service in the reserve force, or active duty in the AFP if given the opportunity, after graduation. ROTC
student-cadets attend college like other students, but also receive basic military training and officer
training from the branch of service that handles their school's ROTC unit. The students participate in
regular ROTC instruction during the school year (one school year for Basic ROTC student-cadets and
three school years for Advance ROTC cadet-officers), and extended training activities during the
summer, such as the ROTC Summer Camp Training (RSCT) and the Advance ROTC Academic Phase
Training (ARAPT). ROTC units in colleges and universities are organized through the Department of
Military Science and Tactics (DMST) which is under joint supervision by the school administration and
the Department of National Defense. These ROTC units are in turn managed by active duty officers of
the AFP and the reservist organization representatives of the major services, the Philippine Army
Reserve Command of the Philippine Army, the Philippine Navy Reserve Command of the Philippine Navy
and the Philippine Air Force Reserve Command of the Philippine Air Force.
