BBM sa Kongreso: Mandatory ROTC, NSTP isabatas

NAIS gawin ni Pangulong Bongbong Marcos ang Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) and National Service Training Program (NSTP).

Kabilang ito sa 19 na prayoridad na panukalang batas na hiningi niya sa Kongreso na maipasa.

“This seeks to reinstitute the ROTC program as a mandatory component of senior high school programs (Grades 11 and 12) in all public and private tertiary-level educational institutions. The aim is to motivate, train, organize and mobilize the students for national defense preparedness, including disaster preparedness and capacity building for risk-related situations,” sabi ni Marcos.

Matatandaan, na isa sa mga isinulong ni Vice President Sara Duterte noong kampanya ang gawing mandatory ang ROTC.
