REFLECTION

(National Service Training Program)

Some of the students embarking NSTP first impression including me see’s the NSTP as
an extra baggage in our curriculum for which we students is required by law upon the approval
of Republic Act 9163, otherwise known as the NSTP Law of 2001. As such, all incoming
freshmen are required to take up NSTP as a requirement for graduation in the course that we
have enrolled in. Where we are given the option to select one from among the three NSTP
components that they feel would help them build their personality and enhance their sense of
patriotism as required in the NSTP course.

Never had I thought as the course progressing and to my great demise that I’m
beginning to like and comprehend the importance of the NSTP, fueled by the recent earthquake
that took place yesterday a magnitude 8.9 earthquake shook the city of Tokyo, Japan unleashing
one of the powerful tsunamis that I’ve ever seen my entire life as the result of the quake’s after
effect that was caught by videos and thanks to modern media many people seen it through their
television set, that whipped everything in its path cars, houses, buildings and everything you can
think of, followed by the rampant fire which broke out throughout the city. Surely many people
certainly have died in that disaster but it would have many, many more have died if the people of
Japan did not have some kind of any trainings and their most of their skyscrapers are not
earthquake proof. I’m just very thankful we had that Disaster Risk Reduction & Management
training, The uncanny timely of events that unfolds for the next few days since we took that
seminar is very timely and appropriate that we know the risk involve and the quick overview on
the nature of earthquakes and the safety precaution we can take upon for ourselves and to our
community to lessen the danger of the earthquakes aftermath and the accompanying after effect
of a quake which is the tsunami. It serve to me as a wake up call that no matter how
insignificant ,I make look at disasters, I cannot deny the facts that it is there and it strikes at any
given time and place and the only best possible way we can do to lessen the destructive power it
brings is to prepare.
NSTP was established by virtue RA no. 9163 or the National Service Training program
act of 2001. Ths program aims to enhance the civic conciousness of the students and to develop
their physical, moral, intellectual, spiritual and social well being. It has three(3) components; (1)
Reserve Officer's Training corps (ROTC), (2) Literacy traning service (LTS), and (3) civic
welfare training service (CWTS). It's components has a different kind on how they enhance the
students but this three (3) components of RA no. 9163 (NSTP) is designed to enhance the
student's contribution to the general welfare.

One important thing we should always keep in mind is fieldwork ethics. Let us bear in
mind that while getting information we must earn the trust of our sources. We are not in our own
territory, therefore, we must know how to act the right way. As students, we can learn from
CWTS what simple things we can do by starting out with the community. It is also good to be
exposed in a different environment to learn how other people live their lives .

Therefore, NSTP program is important to the students because it gives benefit such as;
ability to communicate, NSTP help the students to improve their social capability and also this
program teach and train the students regarding civic or military leaders. It means that student is
the one who can call upon by the nation in case of service needed. NSTP also train and teach the
students to acquire different principles that will help them to the development of their lives and
also the development of the community. In short NSTP have benefit to the students as well as to
the community.
