REPUBLIC ACT NO. 9163


This Act shall be known as the "National Service
Training Program (NSTP) Act of 2001"

he National Service Training Program (NSTP) Act of 2001 (R.A. 9163) was
enacted in response to public clamor for reforms in the Reserved Officers
Training Corps (ROTC) Program. This act affirms that the prime duty of the
government shall be to serve and protect its citizens. In turn, it shall be the
responsibility of all its citizens to defend the security of the State; thus, the
government may require each citizen to render personal, military or civil
service. In the pursuit of these goals, the youth shall be motivated, trained,
organized, and mobilized in military training, literacy, civic welfare, and other
similar endeavors in service to the nation.

ROTC
The Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) is a college program offered at more than
1,700 colleges and universities across the United States that prepares young adults
to become officers in the U.S. Military. In exchange for a paid college education and a
guaranteed post-college career, participants, or cadets, commit to serve in the
Military after graduation. Each Service branch has its own take on ROTC.

LTS
Literacy Training Service (LTS) is a component of NSTP that focuses on training students to
become teachers of reading-writing literacy and numeracy to children, out-of-school
youth, and other segments of society. Education students are primary target of this
component, but other students from other colleges are equally encouraged to choose it.
Teaching unprivileged segments of society which did not get formal education is a great
way to be of help in building our nation. Choose LTS where you can realize your ideals to be
a citizen playing a significant role in making our nation a better place for our generation.

CWTS
CWTS refers to programs of activities contributory to the general welfare and the
betterment of life for members of the community or the enhancement of its facilities,
especially those devoted to improving health, education, environment, entrepreneurship,
safety, recreation and morals of the citizen (Section 3, RA 9163).
