Brief History of NSTP
• It is clearly asserts that the 1935 Constitution of the Philippines which the prime duty of the state is to safeguard the common welfare of its
citizens. “The welfare of the people is the primordial reason for the existence of a state hence; government service is a public trust, the so-
called distributive justice”. On the other hand, every citizen has the duty to fulfill his/her responsibility in the achievement of progress and
development through his/her cooperation and active participation in the affairs and activities of the state – to serve the state in times of
emergency as stated in the constitution (the so-called legal justice).
• As a preparation for this noble responsibility, the 1935 Constitution require male and female students to take Reserve Officer Training
Corps (ROTC) aimed to train, discipline and prepare them responsive citizens. In the 1987 Constitution however, ROTC for female
students was voluntary.
• The smooth implementation of ROTC was disrupted by questions arising from moral degradation and unscrupulous practices by people
charge to supervise and implement the subject. In the late 1990’s the problem of ROTC’s relevance regarding its objective and purpose was
evident. Corruption, exploitation, and devious practices were rampant until its constitutionality was put to a test or question.
• This paved the way to the enactment of the Republic Act 9163 otherwise known as the National Service Training Program (NSTP) Act
of 2001.

January 2002 to amend the Expanded ROTC. This program aimed to enhance
civic consciousness and defense preparedness in the youth by developing the
ethics of service and patriotism while undergoing training in any of its three
(3) program components, specifically designed to enhance the youth’s active
contribution to the general welfare.

3. To determines of duties and obligations of every citizen
LEARNING CONTENT

 A country is run by the government, judicial bodies, its people, and most
importantly by the Constitution.
 The constitution serves as the backbone of the country. Without it, the Law
and Jurisdiction will not hold up and fall apart in no time, but they are meant
to stand strong.
 The constitution is the embodiment of fundamental regulations and principles
according to which the country, state, and its people are supposed to work.
 WHAT IS CONSTITUTION?
Constitution is the basic principles and laws of a nation, state, or
social group that determine the powers and duties of the
government and guarantee certain rights to the people in it. It is a
written instrument embodying the rules of a political or social
organization. (Merriam Webster Dictionary)
Another definition of constitution…
A constitution serves as the fundamental law of land of the land. It
is a character that creates a government and speaks for the entire
people from whom it derives its claim to obedience. It establishes
the basic framework and underlying principles of government. It
refers to the “body of rules and principles in accordance with
which powers of sovereignty are regularly exercised.” (de Leon,
2005)
The 1987 Philippine Constitution was ratified by the Filipino people in a plebiscite held on February 2,
1987. Embodied in the constitution is the Preamble which is the prologue.
The preamble of the 1987 Constitution is as follow:

“We, the sovereign Filipino people, imploring the aid of Almighty

God, in order to build a just and humane society and establish a
government that shall embody our ideals and aspirations, promote
the common good, conserve and develop our patrimony, and
secure to ourselves and our posterity the blessings of our
democracy under the rule of law and a regime of truth, justice,
freedom, love, equality, and peace, do ordain and promulgate this
Constitution.”
Section 1 of the Philippine Constitution provides that the following are the citizens of the Philippines:
1. Those who are citizens of the Philippines at the time of the adoption of the constitution;
2. Those whose fathers or mothers are citizens of the Philippines;
3. Those born before January 17, 1973 of Filipino mothers, who elect the Philippine citizenship upon reaching the age of majority; and
4. Those who are naturalized in accordance with law.

For every right, there is always a corresponding responsibility. The following are important duties and obligations of
every person who lives in a constitutional democracy like the Philippines. (dela Cruz, et.al, 2005)
1. To be loyal to the Republic
2. To defend the State
3. To contribute to the development and welfare of the State
4. To uphold the Constitution and obey the laws
5. To cooperate with duly constituted authorities
6. To exercise rights responsibly and with due regard for the right of others
7. To engage in gainful work
8. To register and vote
 Article III of the Philippine Constitution is the Bill of Rights. This is an enumeration of the people’s rights and privileges which the
Constitution is to protect against violations and abuses. It establishes the relationship of the individual to the State and defines the rights
of the individual by limiting the lawful powers of the State. It is one of the most important political achievements of the Filipinos.
