1. What is NSTP?

National Service Training Program is a program aimed at enhancing civic consciousness and defense
preparedness in the youth by developing the ethics of service and patriotism while undergoing training in
any of its three program components. Its various components are specially designed to enhance the
youth's active contribution to the general welfare.

The National Service Training Program 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.
