Mandatory ROTC, NSTP

Pres. Bongbong Marcos wants Congress to make the reinstitution of mandatory Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) and the National Service Training Program (NSTP) in senior high school programs.

Marcos says this is aimed to "motivate, train, organize, and mobilize" students in national defense preparedness, such as responding to disasters and other risk-related situations.

Vice Pres. Sara Duterte, when she spoke of her initial plans as education secretary, publicly asked Congress to make ROTC mandatory once again for students. #SONA2022
