ACTIVITY 1 – REACTION PAPER ON THE NSTP LAW

Name: BADANA, Rhea Lou A. Degree Program and Year: BSMA – 1


Date: 10/03/2022 Group Assignment: Group A

The National Service Training Program for Tertiary Level Students was made possible by Republic Act
9163. Its goal is to foster civic awareness among young people, instill a sense of nationalism in them, and
increase their engagement in public and civic activities. In addition to promoting defense readiness and
service ethics, the NSTP is a program created to help young people develop their physical, moral,
spiritual, intellectual, and social well-being while participating in one of its three program components.
The three NSTP components are as follows: Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) which aims to
give tertiary level students military training in order to inspire, train, organize, and mobilize them for
national defense preparation, Civic
Welfare Training Service (CWTS)
which seeks to improve the quality of
life for the community's residents or its
facilities and overall well-being, and
Literacy Training Service (LTS) aimed
to prepare students to teach reading
and numeracy to young people and
other groups of the population who can
benefit from their services.

Upon reading the provisions under the RA 9163 and its rules and regulations, I can say that all the
conditions under this act is fair and straightforward. It was a good idea to nullify the mandatory ROTC
program and implement other program components that still aims to help for the betterment of the
country and its people. Having the choice to choose which of the three components one can enroll in is
such an advantage because people way back before didn’t have this kind of privilege. I am amazed at
how the three NSTP components complement one another. Though they have different meanings and
purposes they connect to one aim and that is to help young people enhance their active contribution to the
general welfare.
My overall insight on this topic is an
overwhelming thought about the enforcement of
the different NSTP components can not only
assist a person to develop or gain new skills but it
is also a way for them to socialize outside of their
bubble and communicate with different types of
people who are in need. It raises their awareness
of their environment and makes them conscious
of the current issues within the community.
