A tragic event at the University of Santo Tomas ROTC unit in March 2001 sparked an outcry against ROTC that brought about what is arguably the biggest change in post-Martial Law ROTC history.

It is also noteworthy, that school-based, military education actually started in UST -- almost 140 years ago.

This section is dedicated to this episode.
