Lesson 1- The Philippine Preamble
The Republic Act No. 7077
The National Service Training Program or NSTP
Week 1
The preamble serves as an introduction to our 1987 Philippine Constitution. It
is stated that we, Filipino people, must live morally upright and value our
existence as one family under God in order to develop and uphold a just and
humane society.
1987 Philippine Constitution- established a representative democracy with
power divided among three separate and independent branches of
government: the Executive, a bicameral Legislature, and the Judiciary.

What are the basic principles of 1987 Philippine Constitution?

(1) The Philippines is a democratic and republican State. Sovereignty
resides in the people and all government authority emanates from them.
(2) The State values the dignity of every human person and guarantees full
respect for human rights.
(3) Civilian authority is, at all times, supreme over the military.
The Republic Act No. 7077
This act is known as the “ Citizen Armed Forces of the Philippines
Reservist Act” which aims to organize, train, develop and maintain a
support unit to the Armed Forces of the Philippines to help protect our
country and citizens in the event of war, invasion or rebellion; assist in
relief and rescue during disaster or calamities, in socioeconomic
development and in the operation and maintenance of essential government
or private utilities in the furtherance of overall mission.
Pursuant to this act, graduates of Reserve Officer’s Training Corps
(ROTC) component shall form part of the Citizen Armed Force subject to
Department of National Defense (DND) requirements; whereas, graduates
of the the non- ROTC components ( Civic Welfare Training Service or
CWTS) and Literacy Training Service (LTS) shall belong to the National
Service Reserve Corps (NSRC) and could be tapped by the State for literacy
and civic welfare activities in times of calamities.
The Republic Act No, 9163

Otherwise known as the NSTP Act of

2001, also states that the prime duty of the
governemnt is to serve and protect its
citizens who, in turn, shall also protect and
defend the State for their security; and to
fulfill this, the government may require
each citizen to render personal, military or
civil service.
The National Service Training Program or NSTP

The National Service Training Program (NSTP) is a mandated

program on the curricula of all baccalaureate degree and in at
least two (2) year technical-vocational or associate courses in all
state universities and colleges (SUC’s), private higher and
technical-vocational education institutions. All incoming male
and female students, starting school year (SY) 2002-2003, are
required to complete one (1) NSTP component of their choice as
a requirement for graduation in compliance with Section 4 of the
Republic Act 9163, otherwise known as the National Service
Training Program Act of 2001 and Section 4, Rule III of thr
Implementing Rules and Regulations. This law started in all
colleges and universities in 2002.
 The NSTP Act of 2001 or Republic Act 9163 was
conceptualized by the former Commission on Higher
Education (CHED) Chairman now the President of the
University of the East, Ester A. Garcia, and has been signed
into law by former President Gloria-Macapagal-Arroyo in
response to the public clamor for the reform in the Reserve
Officer’s Training Corps ( ROTC).
The NSTP LAW is geared towards enhancing civic
conciousness and defense preparedness in the youth by
developing in them the ethics of service and patriotism while
undergoing training in any of its three (3) program components,
especially designed to develop the youth’s active participation
and contributon to the general welfare.
Program Components of the NSTP
The students are free to choose the program they want to enroll in. These three (3)
components are as follows:
1. The Reserve Officer’s Training Corps (ROTC)
was designed to provide military training to tertiary level students in order to motivate,
train, organize and mobilize them for national defense preparedness.
2. The Literacy Training Service (LTS)
serves to train the students to teach literacy and numerracy skills to school children, out-of-
school youths and other segments of society in need of these services.
3. The Civic Welfare Training Service
Designs activities that will contribute to the general welfare and betterment of life for the
community as well as enhancing its facilities and improving the health condition of the
community. This can be done by focusing on providing the members of the community
basic skills on health, environmental sanitation, entrepreneurship, safety, recreation and
enhancing the moral values of the constituents.

person’s sense of choice-what he or she wants or “ ought” to be. Values tend to influence attitudes and behavior.
 
How are Values being Developed or Learned?
According to Morris Massey, values are formed during three significant periods:
 
Imprint Period- from birth to 7 years of age
Modeling Period- from 8-14 years
Socialization Period- from 15-21 years
Values can be learned or developed through:
Modeling
Communication of attitudes
Unstated but implied attitudes
Religion
Culture is a social system that shares a set of common
values, in which such values permit social expectations and
collective understanding of the good, beautiful, contsructive
etc.

Cultural Values are the modes of conduct of a group or

society.

Behavioral Values are the inner personal responses or

incentives, which prompt a person to act in a certain way
Chapter 3 :Servant
Leadership
Lesson 1: Dare to Dream
Week no: 3
 Servant leadership is a leadership philosophy in which the main goal
of the leader is to serve. This is different from
traditional leadership where the leader's main focus is the thriving of
their company or organizations. The servant-leader is servant first. It
begins with the natural feeling that one wants to serve, to serve first.
Then conscious choice brings one to aspire to lead. That person is
sharply different from one who is leader first, perhaps because of the
need to assuage an unusual power drive or to acquire material
possessions. The leader-first and the servant-first are two extreme types.
Between them there are shadings and blends that are part of the infinite
variety of human nature. “The difference manifests itself in the care
taken by the servant-first to make sure that other people’s highest priority
needs are being served”. The best test, and difficult to administer is:
“The test of the extent and quality of power and
leadership is the degree of actual accomplishment
of the promised change”. – James Macgregor
Burns

The world needs leaders who can empower

their people, who are committed to total service
and total quality that will place a premium on
serving the members of their team.
How do we prepare ourselves for servant-leadership?
Generate enthusiasm. Servant-leaders do not look to others to change their battery but take the necessary
action to internalize perpetuating values, inspiration, and intellectual enrichment.
Not deterred by small people. Servant-leaders secure maximum participation from their key people and
move resolutely toward the actual practice of management by integrity.
Build on strength. Although servant-leaders recognize that they, as well as all people have weaknesses,
their primary concerns are the strength of people, because it will be strengths-not weaknesses- that will
make their organizations thrive. A weakness is only a missing strength or an insufficiently developed
strength.
High expectation. Servant-leaders stretch themselves and their people. Although they never expect more
from a person than that person is capable of performing, they often expect more than that person believes
he or she can accomplish. This is their key for developing the confidence and ability in individuals and
helping them to obtain a maximum feeling of accomplishment
Goal-oriented. Since a straight line is the shortest distance
between two points, servant-leaders know we must have some
future point clearly in mind to stretch toward.
Significance. Servant-leaders know people can truly live and
grow only if they feel real, if they can experience faith, hope,
love, and gratitude.
Team synergy. This occurs when the effort of two or more
people adds up to a whole that is greater than the sum of its
parts.
Enrich lives of others. Servant-leaders are proud of their lives
and seek to enrich the lives of others by the richness of their
own.
Live integrity. Servant-leaders know that management by
integrity is realistic and workable, that in reality, there is no fit
substitute for it.
Emphasize results, not integrity. Tough-minded servant-
leaders measure the performance of their team members by
results and their contribution to team objectives.
Manage change. Servant-leaders require and encourage a
climate conducive to innovation and creativity in all facet of life.
Understand people. Servant-leaders continually strive to attain
a better understanding of people and their differences-to
determine what it takes to impel each person to produce and
create.
Need for respect. Mutual respect should be observed at all time
Visionary. Servant-leaders without vision are dead. Vision
keeps the team moving towards its goal. Servant-leaders are
fueled and pulled in purpose and direction.
Dare to Dream
It is important for the servant-leaders to have a dream,
to let ourselves dream freely and soaringly, or we will
not know how to use our mental, physical, and spiritual
muscles with any degree of purpose, discipline, and
system. According to Joe Batten, an author of Servant-
Leadership, a passion to serve is the fact that we imagine
is what will transpire. What we believe is what we will
achieve.
The continuum of Actualization: The Possible Dream
Self-discovery. The process of self-discovery is one in which a person is guided, through self-
questioning and examination of one's own thoughts, words, and actions, in order to reach his or her
own conclusions regarding who they truly are. A "journey of self-discovery" refers to a travel,
pilgrimage, or series of events whereby a person attempts to determine how they feel, personally, about
spiritual issues or priorities, rather than following the opinions of family, friends, neighborhood or peer
pressure. 
Self-fulfillment. It is defined as the ability to make yourself happy and complete through your own
efforts. An example of self-fulfillment is when you achieve your dream of going to college and are very
proud of yourself and happy with what you have done. noun. In philosophy and psychology, self-
fulfillment is the realizing of one's deepest desires and capacities. The history of this concept can be
traced to Ancient Greek philosophers and it still remains a notable concept in modern philosophy.
Self-actualization. Itis the complete realization of one's potential,
and the full development of one's abilities and appreciation for life.
This concept is at the top of the Maslow hierarchy of needs, so not
every human being reaches it.Self-actualization, in Maslow's
hierarchy of needs, is the highest level of psychological development
where the "actualization" of full personal potential is achieved, which
occurs usually after basic bodily and ego needs have been fulfilled.
Co-actualization. Develops from the interdependent actualization
processes of persons in relationship to each other and is reflected in
the dynamic forming process of their relationship(s). Each
relationship has its own possibilities and order, and a self-organizing
quality. All this leads us to hypothesize a co-actualizing tendency as
the relational counterpart to the actualizing tendency and the
motivational source for co-actualizing processes.
The Core Values of a good Servant-leader:
Visionary. A visionary servant-leader ensures the vision becomes reality by stating clear goals, outlining a
strategic plan for achieving those goals and equipping and empowering each member to takeaction on the
plan at the organizational, team and individual levels.
Caring. A caring servant-leader is someone who has a genuine interest in others. He has a desire to better
know the people working with him, not so he can make token enquiries from time to time because he feels
he should, but because he really wants to know his people and encourage them to be the best they can be.
Emotionally strong. Any people have outbursts of emotion in difficult situations. They tend to become
overwhelmed and face a lack of self- control. People who are more resilient in such situations are known
as emotionally strong.Emotional strength enables you to be self-dependent, and have good control over
your emotions.
Good listener. A good listener is attentive. He is someone who gives you a lot of attention when you are 
talking about your problems or things that worry you, and tries to understand and support you. They
make good eye contact, don't interrupt what the other person is saying and show an interest in what is
being communicated. A good listener does not look over the shoulder of the person that's speaking, waiting
for someone more interesting to come along.
People-oriented.A people-oriented servant-leader focuses on creating overall success by
building lasting relationships with employees. This type of servant-leader does care about
tasks and schedules, but he/she believes that work culture is more important.
Focused. A focused servant-leaders can command the full range of their own attention: They
are in touch with their inner feelings, they can control their impulses, they are aware of how
others see them, they understand what others need from them, they can weed out distractions
and also allow their minds to roam widely, free of distructions.
Giving. In the context of leadership, there are gifts that don't have a monetary value, but
whose value is beyond price. These include giving someone a chance; giving someone the
benefit of the doubt; and giving others a reason to want to work for you. It entails giving
others latitude, permission to make mistakes, and all the information that they need to do the
job. It's giving them the authority that goes with responsibility. It's giving them due credit
for their ideas. In a nutshell, all of this translates to generosity of spirit, a quality we admire
in leaders.
Resilient. A resilient servant-leader is a person who can recover quickly from difficult
conditions and they see failure as just a temporary setback. They maintain their positive
attitude and optimistic outlook no matter what struggles they are facing and they always find
a way to move forward.
Physically fit. Beingphysically fit increases mental stamina and endurance which are attributes an
effective servant-leader must possess. A healthy leader inspires his members to work towards
being fit, be more energetic and they are less likely to fall sick.
Accountable to his people. An accountable servant-leaders lay a path for teams to follow and are
defined by being held answerable for accomplishing a goal or task. It means we all as servant-
leaders own what we need to do and what we need to get other people to do.
Empowered. An empowered servant-leader helps co-workers, teammates and collaborators see their
unique value and strengths. They listen to the concerns of their team. They open doors for others to
grow and network as well as give people credit for jobs they did well.
Have faith in God. A servant-leader who have faith in God commit to discovering God's will, and
helping to fulfill it through their leadership. He pray about a vision from God, a plan for how he
would like you and the people you're leading to be doing in the near future He also ask the 
Holy Spirit to help you discern God’s vision.
