REVISED IMPLEMENTING RULES AND REGULATIONS OF
THE NATIONAL SERVICE TRAINING PROGRAM (NSTP)
RA 9163
Pursuant to Section 12 of Republic Act No. 9163 otherwise known as the National Service
Training Program (NSTP) Act of 2001, the Commission on Higher Education (CHED),
Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), and Department of National
Defense (DND), in consultation with concerned government agencies, the Philippine
Association of State Universities and Colleges (PASUC), Coordinating Council of Private
Educational Associations of the Philippines (COCOPEA), Non-Government Organizations
(NGOs) and recognized student organizations, hereby jointly issue, adapt and promulgate the
following implementing rules and regulations in implement the provisions of the Act.
Section 4. Coverage
All incoming first year students, male and female, starting School Year (SY) 2002-
2003, enrolled in any baccalaureate and in at least two (2) year technical-vocational or associate
courses, are required to complete one (1) NSTP component of their choice, as a graduation
requirement.
The above provision, however, does not cover the following:
Students who finished or graduated from a baccalaureate degree or two year technical-
vocational or associate course and pursuing or enrolled in another or additional baccalaureate
degree or two-year technical-vocational or associate course in SY 2003-2004, and
Students who completed any of the three NSTP components but considered freshmen to
the course where they transferred or shifted.
Foreign students or aliens
All higher education institutions including State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) and
technical – vocational education institutions must offer upon enrollment all the three (3)
NSTP components. However, State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) are required to
maintain and provide the ROTC component. In cases the enrollment of ROTC Cadets is
less than 350, then the provisions of clustering in Section 7 of NSTP IRR (RA 9163)
should be followed.
Program of study (syllabus) and enrollment forms shall bear the “NSTP” without stating
therein the three components. There shall be an orientation for all NSTP enrollees to be
jointly conducted by the ROTC, CWTS, and LTS coordinators/ implementers. Students
enrolled in the first semester of the freshmen year shall be made to undergo a common
module phase for 25 hours training period.
Subjects covered are: citizenship training; drug education; disaster awareness, preparedness and
management; environmental protection; and other national security concerns. Upon completion
of the common module phase, the student must select the specific NSTP program component
that he/she will pursue.
The Philippine Military Academy (PMA), Philippine Merchant Marine Academy (PMMA), and
Philippine National Police Academy (PNPA) are exempted from the NSTP in view of the special
character of these institutions. Other State Universities and Colleges of similar nature will be
exempted subject to approval of the Department of National Defense.
Private higher and technical-vocational education institutions with at least 350 student cadets,
may offer the ROTC component and consequently establish/maintain a Department of Military
Science and Tactics (DMST), subject to the existing rules and regulations. For DMST,
previously approved and activated, shall retain the status regardless of the number of cadets.
However, for DMST has been created after the approval of this IRR, there must be a minimum
of 350 cadets. In cases where the number of cadets will be less than 350, clustering of ROTCU
will be undertaken with the ROTCU of the State Universities and Colleges within the nearest
environ with the lead role.
Section 9. Fees
No fees shall be collected for any of the NSTP components except basic tuition which
should not be more than fifty (50%) percent of the charges of the school per academic unit.
NSTP fees collected shall constitute a Trust Fund, which shall be exclusively used for the
operation of the Program
NSTP fees collected shall constitute a Trust Fund, 70% of which shall be exclusively used for
the operation of the program. The remaining 30% retained by the school shall serve as
contingency fund, especially in support to un-programmed activities not originally included in
the program of expenditures prepared by the ROTC Commandant or CWTS/ LTS Coordinator
and approved by the school head
NSTP funds derived from NSTP-related operations shall serve as augmentation to sustain un-
programmed activities of NSTP.
The unspent fund balance shall be carried over to the next semester; provided, however,
NSTP funds shall not be converted into savings at the expense of the proper implementation of
the program
Subsidies from the government, any legal agency or institution appropriated for NSTP shall be
included in the preparation of the program of expenditure and report on the utilization of funds.
Expenditures/disbursements shall be subjected to periodic audits by the proper school authorities
and concerned NSTP officers;
NSTP Component (ROTC/ CWTS/ LTS) Coordinators shall submit a comprehensive report on
the utilization of the NSTP funds to their respective NSTP Directors two (2) weeks after the end
of every semester. ROTC Commandants shall submit the same report to their respective Major
Service Reserve Commands.
The NSTP Director or its equivalent shall submit a consolidated comprehensive report on the
utilization of the NSTP Funds by program component to the school head, two weeks after the
end of every semester.
Rental space of school and other similar expenses shall not be charged to NSTP.
DEFINING PEACE
Peace is a state without war. However, the absence of war does NOT necessarily means there is
peace, just as typhoons cannot be prevented by means of legislation, war cannot be stopped by a
mere anti- war argument or sentimental desire. Thus, by promoting the spirit of love for peace as
well as the spirit of hatred against aggression throughout the world, we can create conditions
under which not only local skirmishes are prevented from spreading but also big powers dare not
conceive the idea of campaigning a global war.
In other words, the work MUST begin with erasing foreign feelings and, at the same time,
advocating peace- loving ideas. In as much as the motive of all welfare originates from the
human mind, war cannot be prevented without changing the mind itself.
“Teaching about justice, about violence in all forms, about survival and our future”
“Teaching how to develop a behaviour that encourages harmony in the way people talk,
listen, and interact with each other, and discourages actions to hurt, harm, or destroy each
other.”
THE ROLE OF HIGHER EDUCATION
“The main thrust of tertiary education is to achieve equity, efficiency and higher quality in
institutions of higher learning both public and private, so that together they will provide a
complete set of program offerings that meet both national and regional needs for instruction,
extension and community involvement and research”
PEACEABLE SCHOOL
A commitment to make school a place of peace is one of the ultimate challenges in education.
The present and coming generations have been branded as “lost generation”; our children are not
lost but terribly misguided by distorted values. As aggressors, attackers, victims and even
witnesses, they experience interpersonal violence first-hand, and they no longer feel safe from
senseless fights or other dangerous incidents.
“Our schools and communities can intervene effectively in the lives of children and youth top
reduce or prevent their involvement in violence. Violence involving youth is not random,
uncontrollable or inevitable. Many factors, both individual and social, contribute to an
individual’s propensity to use violence, and many of these factors are within our power to
change”.
Types of Drugs
4 Main Types:
1. Depressants slow down, or depress, the functions of the central nervous system
. In moderate doses, depressants can make you feel relaxed. In larger doses,
depressants can cause unconsciousness by reducing breathing and heart rate. A
person's speech may become slurred and their movements sluggish and
uncoordinated.
These can include:
• alcohol;
• opiates and opioids (heroin) , morphine, codeine, methadone and
buprenorphine;
• cannabis or marijuana;
• minor tranquillizers diazepam such as Valium, oxazepam (Serepax);
Cannabis
Cannabis can cause health problems both physical and mental
• Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is its main active ingredient
• Some use cannabis for medical purposes; e.g. multiple sclerosis or glaucoma
• Use at a young age is linked to increased mental health problems such as schizophrenia;
psychiatric hospitalization may be necessary if heavily used
• Lowers motivation and lose interest in things
• Co-ordination and reactions slow down
• Effects asthma
• Can increase the heart rate and cause someone to have high blood pressure
• Might have hallucinations
• A small number of people that use cannabis go on to other drugs
• Use dates back to the Chinese in 2,700 BC
• Can be addictive; long term users become dependent
Stimulant - Speeds up or stimulate the central nervous system and can make the users feel
more awake, alert or confident. Stimulants increase heart rate, body temperature and blood
pressure. Other physical effects include reduced appetite, dilated pupils, talkativeness, agitation
and sleep disturbance.
Types Include:
• Caffeine
• Nicotine in tobacco is a stimulant, despite smokers using it to relax
• Ephedrine, used in medicines for bronchitis, hay fever, asthma
• Amphetamines and methamphetamines, also known as 'speed', 'ice' and 'crystal meth'
• Cocaine, also known as 'coke' and 'snow';
• slimming tablets: e.g. Duromine and Tenuate;
Hallucinogenic - drugs distort the user's perceptions of reality. The main physical effects
are dilation of pupils, loss of appetite, increased activity, talking or laughing, jaw clenching,
sweating and sometimes stomach cramps or nausea. Drug effects can include a sense of
emotional and psychological euphoria and well-being. Visual, auditory and tactile hallucinations
may occur, causing users to see or hear things that do not actually exist.
These drugs include:
• LSD, also known as 'trips', 'acid' and 'microdots';
• magic mushrooms (psilocybin), also known as 'mushies' or 'shrooms';
• ecstasy (MDMA/methylenedioxymethamphetamine), also known as 'E', 'XTC' and 'Eccies',
produces a combination of hallucinogenic and stimulant effects; and
• Ketamine, also known as 'K' and 'Special K'.
Inhalants
Inhalants are volatile substances that produce chemical vapors that can be inhaled to
induce a psychoactive, or mind-altering, effect. Although other abused substances can be
inhaled, the term "inhalants" is used to describe a variety of substances whose main common
characteristic is that they are rarely, if ever, taken by any route other than inhalation. This
definition encompasses a broad range of chemicals that may have different pharmacological
effects and are found in hundreds of different products. As a result, precise categorization of
inhalants is difficult. One classification system lists four general categories of inhalants —
volatile solvents, aerosols, gases, and nitrites — based on the forms in which they are often
found in household, industrial, and medical products.
Some Effects of Smoking
One in two lifetime smokers will die from their habit. Half of these deaths will occur in middle
age.
• Tobacco smoke also contributes to a number of cancers.
• The mixture of nicotine and carbon monoxide in each cigarette you smoke temporarily
increases your heart rate and blood pressure, straining your heart and blood vessels. This can
cause heart attacks and stroke. It slows your blood flow, cutting off oxygen to your feet and
hands. Some smokers end up having their limbs amputated.
• Tar coats your lungs like soot in a chimney and causes cancer. A 20-a-day smoker breathes in
up to a full cup (210 g) of tar in a year.
• Changing to low-tar cigarettes does not help because smokers usually take deeper puffs and
hold the smoke in for longer, dragging the tar deeper into their lungs.
What is Alcohol Abuse?
Alcohol abuse is a serious problem. It is a pattern of drinking too much alcohol too often. It
interferes with your daily life. You may be suffering from alcohol abuse if you drink too much
alcohol at one time or too often throughout the week. It also is a problem if you can’t stop
drinking and it harms your relationships. It can cause you to be unable to function at work and in
other areas of your life.
Alcohol abuse can lead to physical dependency on alcohol, or alcoholism. Too much alcohol at
one time also can lead to alcohol poisoning. One alcoholic drink is defined as a 12-ounce bottle
of beer; a 5-ounce glass of wine; or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof distilled spirits (such as whiskey,
rum, or tequila).
You are abusing alcohol when:
• You drink 7 drinks per week or more than 3 drinks per occasion (for women).
• You drink more than 14 drinks per week or more than 4 drinks per occasion (for men).
• You have more than 7 drinks per week or more than 3 drinks per occasion (for men and
women older than 65).
• Consuming these amounts of alcohol harms your health, relationships, work, and/or
causes legal problems.
Why Do People Use Drugs?
Inaccurate information
about drug Effects. Rejection. StreSs
Poor self-image Anger
Why Do People Use Illegal Drugs?
to fit in with a group of friends
• they might be curious
• just bored.
• Often to help the person escape from reality for a while.
• If a person is sad or upset, a drug can - temporarily -make the person feel better or forget
about problems. But this escape lasts only until the drug wears off.
Drugs don't solve problems and using them often causes other problems on top of the ones the
person had in the first place.
What You Can Do To Help
The best thing to do is to tell an adult that you trust; a parent, other relative, teacher, coach, or
school counselor.
• The person might need professional help to stop using drugs. A grown-up can help the person
find the treatment he or she needs to stop using drugs.
• Kids can also help others is by choosing not to try or use drugs. It's a good way for friends to
stick together.
• Understanding drugs and why they are dangerous is another good step for a kid to take.
