Republic
Act 9163, or the National
Service Training Program (NSTP), was
Congress' answer to the clamor for changes
in the ROTC program. Signed into law on
January 23, 2002, it removed ROTC as a
prerequisite for graduation for all male
college students, and substituted it with
NSTP. Furthermore, women were no longer
exempt from national service -- accomplishment
of the NSTP is now a requirement for both
genders.
The
new program provided all students with
two options to ROTC: Literacy Training
Service and Civic Welfare Service. Due
to the non-military character of the alternative
programs, the National Service Reserve
Corps was created to accomodate the graduates
of these programs. ROTC graduates, on
the other hand, went to the Citizen's
Armed Force -- in accordance with the
provisions of the AFP Reservist Act (R.A.
7077).
Full
implementation of the program was scheduled
for school year 2002 - 2003.

The
project has neither requested nor received any official approval
from either the Ateneo de Davao University to construct and maintain
this site. It is not, and was never meant to be, the official
website of the Ateneo de Davao ROTC Unit.
