Optional ROTC
 

Sample Message:
OK ito, at least required pa rin magsilbi ang kabataan. at since kakaunti ang nasa Military side, gaganda ang training.

Pero teka, sa kamay nga ng militar ay problema ang korapsyon, eh papasukan pa ng mga pulis (Law Enforcement Service). Good luck na lang.

   
Rally sa 1st ROTC Training Sunday sa UST
  Sample Message:
"Sunday, June 24, 2001... After the Mass and the Flag Ceremony, may mga aktibistang nakapasok sa field. Sad to say, konti lang sumama sa walk-out. Nagcheck kasi ng attendance. Anyway, bumawi naman sila right after dismissal. They went to Espana Gate to continue their protest . . . . . . . What can you say? "

   
Walkout sa ROTC maling mali
  Founder's Message:
"Napanood ko sa TV ang walkout na isinagawa ng mga ROTC Cadets sa ibat ibang schools sa u-belt na nagsimula sa UST. Napansin ko na medyo hindi magandang tingnan ang nangyari. It was bordering on anarchy. Oo, alam natin na may mga problema ang ROTC pero dapat ilagay natin sa ayos ang pag express ng mga sentimyento natin.
"
   
Abolish ROTC now
  Founder's Message:
"alam nyo, walang kwenta ang rotc. maganda hangarin ng rotc, kaso nga, bulok ang sistema kaya dapat ng alisin."
   
Is ROTC really necessary?
  Founder's Message:
"The only thing is that you have a naive view that our laws are so just and holy that to transgress them is sacrilegious and must be punished by some brutal means, or some other brutal term you might want to use, as with Evolution's case. I didn't know you are/were also an officer (ROTC?), and now that I know, I'm not surprised at all.
   
Don't you think its about time they abolish ROTC?
  Founder's Message:
"they say its not possible since its mandated by the constitution, but guys don't u think we had enough of this f**king sh*t? bukod sa abala sa acads, umiiral ang superiority complex ng mga kup*l na officers, bulok pa sistema. "
   
Reasons why not to abolish ROTC
  Founder's Message:
"1st and only reason:

LUGI YUNG MGA NAG-ROTC NA!!! WALANGYA YAN!!! YUNG IBANG TAO NGA, BUMAGSAK NG MAJOR SUBJECTS NILA DAHIL DIYAN SA LINTEK NA ROTC NA YAN, TAPOS I-AABOLISH NILA NGAYON DAHIL ME NAMATAY NA SA USTE? DATI PA NAMAN MAY KATARANTADUHAN SA ROTC, BAKIT NGAYON LANG NILA IA-ABOLISH? PARE-PAREHO DAPAT TAYONG MAHIRAPAN...HINDI YUNG ROTC DAPAT ANG IABOLISH, KUND YUNG SISTEMA NILA....DAPAT WALANG BRIBERY!!! SAKA ANO YON? PAG NAG-GIYERA NA, KAMI LANG ANG I-SASABAK SA LABAN KAPAG KINULANG NG SUNDALO? ANO'NG KAGAGUHAN YUN? DAPAT LAHAT TAYO SAMA-SAMANG MAMATAY. "

   
ROTC . . . is there a compromise
  Founder's Message:
"I'm not for taking any side... but... despite all the brickbats people are throwing at the ROTC program, I don';t think its all that bad. Is it the system or the people running it which make for all this controversy? Please,.. I need/want practical views... not rhetorics. "
   
ROTC maging mas masaya next term
 

Sample Message:
Training days will still be Saturdays (12:30 PM to 5:30 PM) and/or Sunday mornings.

This will be mandatory for all College-age MALE and FEMALE students.

Ngayon even the ladies will have to say goodbye to free Saturday afternoons.

ROTC - aalisin na raw?
  Founder's Message:
"Sen. Raul Roco saying that ROTC will be removed in college curiculum.

Do you agree with Sen. Roco?"

   
ROTC
  Sample Message:
"They say ROTC is a good way of establishing discipline among young men but I guess it has become an avenue for power-tripping and senseless hazing. It should be abolished."

Join the move to remove ROTC from the Philippine college curriculum and CAT in the high school curriculum.
   
Abolish ROTC
  Founder's Message:
Seven University Belt schools led by UST issued a statement last May 25 calling for the abolition of ROTC. If you are in favor of its abolition, join the Abolish ROTC Club, and express your opinions.
   
Junkrotcandcat
  Founder's Message:
The purpose of this club is show others how to get out of taking ROTC and CAT, and in the long run making these voluntary, as in the USA and other modern countries. We have nothing against voluntary ROTC, with proper incentives-its only the mandatory nature of the Philippine system that is offensive.
