What is NSTP?

• “National Service Training Program (NSTP)” is a


program aimed at enhancing civic
consciousness and defense preparedness in the
youth by developing the ethics of service and
patriotism while undergoing training in any of
the three (3) program components.
Why is NSTP important?
• The purpose of this program is to
recognize the Youth’s vital role in nation-
building, promote consciousness among
youth and develop their physical, moral,
spiritual, intellectual and social well-
being.
Community Immersion as
Requisite of NSTP
Community immersion is one
important requirement of the National
Service Training Program (NSTP)
prescribed to students, male and female
alike, in private and public higher
education institutions and technical-
vocational schools (RA 9163, Sec. 7).
In essence, it is the practicum-based element of NSTP
where lessons learned and acquired in NSTP 1, whether on a
semester basis or as part of the One Summer Program, are
applied in the enhancement of the trainees’ capabilities, civic
consciousness and defense preparedness in the service of the
nation.
This practicum requirement essential to NSTP 2 is
not only applicable to the Civic Welfare Training Service
(CWTS) and the Literacy Training Service (LTS)
components but the Reserve Officers Training Course
(ROTC), as well.
As a concept, community immersion is a strategy in community organizing
that is sought to imbibe among the NSTP trainees a better understanding
and realization of the different community concerns through exposure on
actual life situations specifically in deprived, depressed and under
privileged (DDU) communities. These experiences will allow them to
facilitate them to undergo certain changes that will make them civic-
conscious and socially responsible citizen.
Corollary, community immersion, as a process, is aimed at
developing among student-trainees, through the training
program, their appreciation of rendering community works which
is quintessential in affording for them the opportunity to
experience and put themselves in real-life situations in the
communities they serve.
For these reasons, each trainee must have a
genuine feel of living with the people in order that they
may understand and relate with community concerns as
they go through a self-transformation and personal
growth at the same time.
In more specific terms, the NSTP trainees are expected to
initiate community-based interventions in the form of projects
and activities meant to address the multi-faced issues and
concerns supported by needs assessment/analysis study that
multi-faced problems there from which impedes the important
aspiration of the community people in the area of service.
The trainees, in their own little way, contribute in the uplift
of the quality of life of the people in the service areas and, at the
same time, develop their ethics of service imbued with the good
citizenship values of Makadiyos (Godly), Makabayan (Patriotic),
Makatao (Humanitarian), and Makakalikasan (Nature lover)
thereby better preparing them as reservists in responding to the
call of the times.
Objectives of NSTP
