NSTP
2:00-5:00 TUESDAY (September 26, 2023)

QUESTIONS:

1. How can young people rise to the responsibility of leading society,

given the discussion of the nature and goals of the National Service
Training Program and the significance of the Philippine Constitution
and its provisions? Would you mind sharing your own experiences
with how you see yourself influencing your family, friends, and the
local community?
Nature and goals of the National Service Training Program (NSTP) as discussed
is a program which, aims to enhance the civic consciousness and the defense
preparedness of the youth through developing their ethics in service and patriotism
while they undergo trainings in any of its program components. Hence, the
significance of the provisions of the Philippine Constitution and the constitution itself
ensures that the powers of the legislative, executive and judicial branches, remains
separated; which the 1987 constitution continues to protect and uphold the
fundamental rights and freedom of every Filipino.
Upon being said, the young people, and even the youth of the current
generation and the generations of the upcoming generations will rise to the
responsibility of leading the society by knowing their history- the Philippine
Constitution and its provision shall help the youth to become a voice of their fellow
youth as well as the voice of their fellow citizens. Being able to know history-
especially in developing an individual with their ethics in service, and being a patriotic
individual does not only help a single individual but can also help its society.
As a leader, and a missionary of the church, being a responsible leader entails
offering myself to lead, and not just to serve or “to be served”. This means, I, as a
leader who offers my “yes” to the calling I answered is also a “yes” to be judged,
criticized and misunderstood by the people watching on how I lead. Thus, by all the
above-mentioned adjective, as a leader, my “yes” is also a “yes” to become a listener
and to be accountable of the circumstances I may face while leading. Through this, I
can say that I have influenced my family- through being accountable of making
decisions for our household; my friends and the local community- by helping them to
be patriotic as well as to being ethical in serving their fellow men and women, which
also leads some of the young people to be part of our growing community in church.
 Many are called to serve the people but only few do it for the sake of its
people. As young as we are, and if our hearts belong to serving the people- and the
Filipinos, we shall know what responsibilities are we going to carry on our backs
sooner or later. Thus, this shall help not only a single individual, but hundreds, and
thousands of them and our growing society. Leading does not only carry a title of your
name, but hundreds and thousands of people who put their trust on you to be a voice
of their unheard cries.
