very first statutory enactment by the
Commonwealth government on December
23, 1935. Commonwealth Act Number 1

all college students.

The National Defense Act was amended in 1980
by Presidential Decree 1706 (The National
Service Law) which directs that military service
will no longer be compulsory, but leaving the
national service or training to be in effect.
Military Training Service (MTS), Civic Welfare
Service (CWS), Law Enforcement Service (LES)
make up the National Service Program. But the
CWS and LES component were suspended,
leaving only the MTS program, which is the
present ROTC program.
