2. What is the concept of National Defense based on the Commonwealth Act No.

Commonwealth Act No. 1, also known as the National Defense Act, was
enacted on December 21, 1935, and organized the Army of the Philippines
consisting of the Regular and the Reserve Forces and all organizations
necessary to form the basis for a complete and prompt mobilization for
national defense and for the performance of national police duties in
peace and in war.
The act organized the Army of the Philippines into two primary
components: the Regular Force, consisting of active-duty soldiers, and the
Reserve Force, made up of citizens who could be mobilized in times of
national emergency. It emphasized the need for a comprehensive and
prompt mobilization plan, ensuring the country could respond swiftly to
any threats. Additionally, the act outlined the dual role of the military in
both national defense and internal security, allowing it to perform police
duties during peacetime and conflicts. This legislation laid the foundation
for the Philippines' future military and defense policies, ensuring the
nation's preparedness for both peace and war.
3. What is the concept of National Service based on the Presidential Decree No.
1706?
The National Defense Act was amended by Presidential Decree (PD) No.
1706, otherwise known as “The National Service Law. ” The decree
provides that each citizen shall render national service in any of the three
main programs, namely: civic welfare service; law enforcement service;
and military service.
It is to ensure that all citizens contribute to national development and
security. Under this decree, every citizen is required to render national
service through participation in one of three main programs: civic welfare
service, law enforcement service, or military service. Civic welfare service
focuses on activities that promote the general welfare and betterment of
the community, law enforcement service involves supporting the
maintenance of peace and order, and military service requires citizens to
participate in the defense of the nation. This law reflects the idea that
national service is a shared responsibility among all citizens.
4. What is the concept of Citizen Armed Forces of the Philippines Reservist
based on the Republic Act No. 7077?

Forces of the Philippines in the event of war, invasion, or rebellion; to
assist in relief and rescue during disasters or calamities; to assist in
socioeconomic development; and to assist in the operation and
maintenance of essential government or private utilities in the
furtherance of overall mission.
Its primary role is to serve as a foundation for the rapid expansion of the
Armed Forces in times of war, invasion, or rebellion, ensuring the
country's readiness to defend itself. Beyond military engagement, the
Reserve Force plays a crucial role in disaster response, providing relief
and rescue during natural calamities. Additionally, it contributes to
socioeconomic development by supporting government initiatives and
helps maintain essential services in both government and private sectors,
thereby enhancing national resilience and stability.
5. What is the concept of National Service Training Service based on the
