Overview:
Republic Act No. 9163 (The NSTP Act of 2001) is an act establishing the National Service Training
Program (NSTP) for tertiary level students, amending for the purpose Republic Act No. 7077 and
Presidential Decree No. 1706, and for other purposes. Its guiding principles are anchored on the role of the
youth in nation-building.
Objectives:
General Objective
The primary objective of NSTP is to highlight the role of the youth in building a strong Republic,
invoking gender equality and development through the inclusion of female students in national service
training. As such, it aims to develop the youth to become civic or military leaders and volunteers through a
modified, re-structured and reinforced training package which includes leaders and volunteers who could be
called upon by the nation in instances that will warrant their services, especially in the event of disasters or
emergencies. NSTP as a form of citizenship training, provides the students the opportunity to demonstrate
practical and functional knowledge as well as life skills, particularly problem-solving and decision-making.
After studying civic education, watch the PUP-NSTP video titled “Ang Kabataan ang Pag-asa ng Bayan” and
answer the following questions. Your responses will be checked using the rubric presented at the end of this
module.
Each chapter in this module contains a major lesson involving the NSTP Law. The units are
characterized by continuity and are arranged in such a manner that the present unit is related to the next

Introduction:
What is NSTP?
The National Service Training Program (NSTP), is a civic education and defense preparedness
program students instituted by the Government of the Philippines on 5 January 2000 by virtue of Republic
Act 9163, otherwise known as the "National Service Training Program (NSTP) Act of 2001."
Republic Act No 1963 establishes the National Service Training Program or NSTP (for tertiary level
students) amending for the purpose as stated on the Republic Act No. 7077 and PD No. 1706.
THE National Service Training Program (NSTP) is defined under Republic Act No. 1963, section 3 as 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 its three program components.
NSTP LAW
NATIONAL SERVICE TRAINING PROGRAM (RA 9163) Pursuant to Section 12 of Republic Act No.
9163 otherwise known as the National Service Training Program (NSTP) Act of 2001, the Commission on
Higher Education (CHED), Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA), and Department
of National Defense (DND), in consultation with the concerned government agencies, the Philippine
Association of State Universities and Colleges (PASUC), Coordinating Council of Private Educational
Associations of the Philippines (COCOPEA), Non- Government Organizations (NGOs) and recognized
student organizations, hereby jointly issue, adopt and promulgate the following implementing rules and
regulations to implement the provisions of the Act.
Every first year students effective school year 2002-2003, male or female enrolled in any
baccalaureate degree and in at least two years Technical-Vocational or associate course is required to
complete at least one of the three components of the NSTP as a graduation requirement and as stipulated in
Republic Act No. 9163, Rule 3 section 4a.
What if a student is a second degree taker? a graduate of associate course before SY 2003-2004?
Or, a transferee who took the NSTP from other University?
Based on R.A No. 9163, Rule 3, sections 4a1, 4a2 and 4a3, students who finished or graduated
before School Year 2003 and 2004 are exempted to take the NSTP. Also, exempted are those students who
completed any of the three components but considered freshmen to the course where they transferred or
shifted; foreign students; and students of Philippine Merchant Academy, Philippine National Police Academy
and Philippine Military Academy in view of the special character of these institutions.
COMPONENTS OF NSTP
Under the NSTP Program, both male and female college students of any baccalaureate degree course
or technical vocational course in public or private educational institutions are obliged to undergo one of three
program components for an academic period of two semesters. The students, however, are free to choose
which particular program component to take. The three NSTP Program components are:
This program component is designed to provide students with activities contributory to the general
welfare and betterment of life of the members of the community especially those developed to improve
This program component is designed to train students in teaching literacy and numeracy skills to
schoolchildren and out-of-school youths. The hope is to continue learning on a peer - to - peer interaction.
This program component is designed to provide military education and training for students to mobilize
them for national defense preparedness. This is also a glimpse for young people to see how military life is
and encourage them into service.
Graduates of the ROTC program component are organized into the Citizen Armed Force, while
graduates of the LTS and CWTS program components are organized into the National Service Reserve
Corps (NSRC) administered by the Department of National Defense, the Commission on Higher Education
and Technical Education and Skills Development Authority.
TIME DURATION
Rule 6, sections 6a and 6b of the Republic Act No. 9163 clarified the course duration of NSTP
wherein every student shall take NSTP for an academic period of two semesters which consist of 3 units per
semester with a minimum of 54 hours and a maximum of 90 training hours per semester. It can also be
undertaken for one summer program in lieu of the two semesters if the institution allows it.
“No fees shall be collected for any of the NSTP components except basic tuition, which should not be
more than fifty (50%) percent of the charges of the school per academic unit”.
Even though, it is stipulated in the NSTP law that only basic tuition is allowed to be collected, there
are some universities that require minimal fee for uniform with consent from the concerned authorities. The
reason for this is for identification and safety of the students, since most of the NSTP Programs are done
outside the university.
ACTIVITY
Explain the following.
1. Why do we need to study NSTP?
2. What is the role of NSTP in our daily activities?

Self is an aspect of human being that reflects the individuals emotional. Psychological, spiritual and
total personality. Self-awareness, on the other hand, means to accept one’s self, one’s strengths and
weaknesses to the extent that one develops a clear picture of personhood; to reveal oneself to others by
investing or taking risks towards growth; and to express one’s feelings, consonant and dissonant in loving
concern.
Self-acceptance is to let the individual understand and accept himself before others. In so doing, it
helps in building up confidence and risk taking interpersonal relationship. The process of acceptance
includes identifying specifically what you, as a human being, don’t accept about yourself; knowing that you
are doing the best you can; taking a good hard look at your honesty level.
In relation, you experience self-disclosure when you reveal yourself to others and encourage others
to show interest and concern in you. However, the moment you share burden and responsibilities with
others and you become sensitive to each other’s need you manifest self-expression.
COMMUNICATION SKILLS
The communication skill is very important for an individual like you as it develops the ability for active
listening as well as sharing ideas and experiences to other people. It will also help you know the effects of
filtering in communication
Process and learn the difference models and patterns of communication.
PERSONALITY
Your personality makes the sum total of your psychological traits and characteristics. It
determines your adjustments to the environment making you appealing or repelling to other people. There
are factors that affect your personality, namely, heredity, environment and experiences which eventually can
be improved in terms of physical, intellectual, social, emotional and psychological.
IMPORTANCE OF SELF-AWARENESS
Understanding the way your self-concept develops increases self-awareness. The more you
understand why you view yourself as you do, the better you will understand who you are. One way to gain
self-awareness is by using the Johari Window of the self as noted by Chaulan, (2002).
The Johari Window was invented by Joseph Luft and Harrington Ingham in the 1950’s as a model for
mapping personality awareness. By describing self from a fixed list of adjectives, then asking friends and
colleagues to describe you from the same list, a grid of overlap and difference can be built up.
1. Self-awareness- knowing what the feeling are the moment and using preferences to guide our decision-
making, having realistic assessment to our own abilities, and a well-grounded sense of confidence.
2. Self-regulation- handling our emotions so that they facilitate, rather than interfere with the task on hand,
being conscientious and delaying gratification in order to pursue goals or recovering well from emotional
distress.
3. Motivation- using our deepest preferences to move, guide us towards our goals, to help us take initiative
and strive to improve, and to persevere in the face of setbacks and frustrations.
4. Empathy- sensing what people are feeling, being able to take their perspective and cultivating rapport and
attunement with a broad diversity of people.
5. Social Skills- handling emotions well in relationships accurately reading social developments and lead in
disputes for cooperation and teamwork.

VALUES DEVELOPMENT
VALUES EDUCATION
Values refer to everything from eternal ideas to behavioural actions. Values serve as criteria for
determining the levels of goodness, worth or beauty. Values are effectively laden thoughts about objects,
ideas, behaviour and so forth that guide behaviour but do not necessarily require it. The act of valuing is
considered an act of making value judgements, an expression of feeling, or the acquisition of and adherence
to a set of principles.
Etymologically, values come from the Latin word “valere”, which means “to measure the worth of
something”. Values are the elements of life prevailing in any society. They lie at the core of a person’s life.
They color his/her choice. They shape and determine an individuals or group decision whether to like or
dislike, favour or disfavour, change or not to change.
Values maybe positive or negative. They create an atmosphere, hence, the sense of values. They are
of diverse types and they transcend facts and clamor for existence and realization. They are also subjective
and objective values. Value experience involves a subject valuing and the object valued.
VALUES CLARIFICATION
The value clarification approach has started primarily from humanistic psychology and the humanistic
education movement, which is used as the basis to implement the ideas and theories of some famous
psychologists and behaviourists like Carl Rogers, Abraham Maslow and many others. The main objectives
are to help students use both rational thinking and emotion to analyse personal behaviour patterns; and to
clarify and put their values in action. This is why many believe that valuing is a process of self-actualization,
involving the sub-process of choosing from several alternatives, which reflects on the consequences such as
pricing, affirming, and acting upon one’s choice are observed.
The values clarification approach relies on an internal cognitive and affective decision making
process to decide which values are positive and negative. It is therefore individualistic rather than a social
process of values education. If a person is allowed the opportunity of being free to be his or her true self,
he/she makes choices and decisions affected by the internal processes of willing, feeling, thinking and
intending. It is assumed that through self-awareness, the person enters situations already pointed or set in
certain directions. As the individual develops, the making of choices will more often be based on conscious,
self-determined thought and feeling. It is advocated that the making of choices, as a free being, is a
preliminary step in the creation of values.
The supreme value that characterizes education is human dignity, and all other values are pursued
because of the inner worth of the human being.
Man or woman, as physical being, must maintain health and with nature. He/she should not abuse
and overuse his/her body; the physical nature calls for harmony with the material world. Being an intellectual
human being, gifted with mind and the faculty of knowing, one must constantly search for the truth. He/she
sees knowledge that would transform society and the world. It is not enough to discover data and the known
facts, but he/she must develop creative and critical thinking to meet the challenges of the modern world.
As moral being endowed with the faculty of freely choosing and loving, an individual must go out to
others and in fact to all humanity in the spirit of love. It implies the quest for personal dignity, development
of self-worth and self-esteem, honesty, and personal discipline that marks a mature person and a useful
citizen.
VALUES AWARENESS
Being aware of values is a valuing process conceived by Dr. Harold Laswell of Yale University and
adapted to the field of education by Dr. W. Ray Rucker and his associates. This valuing process is founded
on holistic framework of universal needs of human such as affection, respect, skills, enlightenment, influence
(or power), wealth. Well-being, and responsibility (or rectitude). All human wants and needs are contained
within one or more of these value categories.
Becoming aware of values considers a three dimensional process of valuing, as follows:
FIRST DIMENSION: Individuals need to see themselves as someone important and unique. They need to
be able to understand that they are the only ones of their kind on earth that has a contribution to make and
that no one else can make.
SECOND DIMENSION: Individuals must identify those whom they respect, that characteristics in other
people they respect, and the reasons why.
THIRD DIMENSION: Individuals must recognize those who have respect for them, and the methods by
which respect has been shown. They must see the ways in which they have been honored, admired or
recognized as unique persons.
LEVELS OF VALUES
We may then classify values into two levels: foundation values and the ultimate values.
FOUNDATION VALUES
The foundation values relate to the satisfaction of the basic or fundamental for life to be
sustained and to achieve a relative state of health. The foundation needs which are classified as
physiologic, safety, love and belongingness and esteem must be met to attain health. Health is multi-
dimensional; it involves the biological, physiological, social and spiritual realms and it is essential to self-
actualization. Thus, a very basic expectation for getting an employment is to earn a living to meet our
biological needs. We strive harder at securing material provisions and safe physical environment. We
build or nurture meaningful relationships with significant others. We fulfill certain religious obligations. We
gain proficiency in various areas and assume multiplicity of roles.
ULTIMATE VALUES
There have always been people through the ages who have paused, pondered and asked
questions like: What is life all about? What are we here for? Are we here for our own sake? What is
human life meant to be? People who seek to answer such questions move on the ultimate matters of life.
They are concerned with ultimate values. They recognize that foundation needs are means to an end.
Maslow (1971) describe self-actualizing people as those who work at something they have been
destined for, which they work on and which they love, so that the work-joy dichotomy in them disappears.
The being or ultimate values which are intrinsic are the meaning of life for them. These “’being” values
include self-actualization, truth, beauty, goodness, perfection, simplicity, comprehensiveness among
others. These values taste and feel better than the lower ones and these are those that self-actualizing
people seek.

LEADERSHIP
Is defined as a process of giving control, guidance, headship, direction and governance. It is
synonymous with the basic principles of management. In fact, leading is one of the action words and
components of management field, though, it has different perspectives.
Bass (1981) defined leadership as “influence”. That is the art of influencing people so that they strive
willingly and enthusiastically toward the achievement of group goals. Ideally, people should be encourage to
develop not only willingness to work with zeal and confidence. Zeal is ardour, earnestness and intensity in
the execution of work; confidence reflects experience and technical ability.
J. Oswald Sanders said it first: “The true measure of leadership is influence-Nothing more, nothing
less”. It is about influencing in a worthwhile cause. It is not dependent on titles or positions. It is dependent
on someone catching vision and mobilizing others to join him in its fulfilment. When this happens, leadership
SERVANT LEADERSHIP
“The law of service: He who wishes to live ling must serve, but he who wishes to rule does not live
long”- Hesse.
The new trend now in leadership is termed as “Servant Leadership”. Different views on this emanated
from pious doctrines where Jesus Christ depicted as the best model of servant leader. A leader who
humbled Himself to serve His disciples especially when He performed the “washing of the feet” symbolizes
humility and humbleness of Christ.
TEN PRINCIPLES OF SERVANT LEADERSHIP
1. listening Seeks to identify the will of a group and helps clarify
that will. The servant leader seeks to listen
receptively to what is being said.
2. Empathy Strives to understand and empathize with others.
People need to be accepted and recognized for
their special and unique spirits.
3. Healing Becomes one of the greatest strengths of servant
leadership, the potential for healing one’s self and
others whereby many people have broken spirits
and have suffered from a variety of emotional hurts.
4. Awareness Aids the servant leader in understanding issues that
involve ethics and values and view most situations
from a more integrated and holistic position.
5. Persuasion Reminds servant leaders to give primary reliance on
persuasion rather than positional authority in
making decisions within an organization
6. Conceptualization Seeks to nurture the servant leaders’ abilities to
“dream great dreams”. The ability to look at a
problem (or n organization) from a conceptualizing
perspective means that one must think beyond day-
to-day realities with sensible and functional ideas.
7. Foresight Enables the servant leader to understand the
lessons and events from the past, the realities and
phenomena of the present and the likely impact of a
decision for the future.
8. Stewardship Prioritizes the needs of others and emphasizes the
Greenleaf as cited by Frick (2004) said: “All that is needed to rebuild community as a viable life form for
large numbers of people is for enough servant leaders to show the way, not by mass movements, but by
each servant leader demonstrating his/her own unlimited liability for a quite specific community related
group.
LEADERSHIP BEHAVIORS
There is no specific leadership behaviour that would guarantee efficiency and effectiveness of the
operation/mission of a certain group or organization. The adoption of a particular leadership behaviour
depends on the nature of the leader, members, and work of a certain organization. Four types of leadership
are listed below. Examine each type carefully and find out which one applies to you as a leader.
● Authoritarian Leadership- leads men by means of the rank position. A self-centered type of leadership
where the leader believes he or she is the only one capable of directing the subordinates.
● Paternalistic Leadership- leads men by always setting an example. This type of leader manifest an
example of a father, who seems to be always after the welfare of his children.
● Participative Leadership-makes the men participate actively in the activity or task in the organization
but reserves the right to make final decisions on critical matters.
● Laisse-Faire Leadership- leaves decision making to the subordinates. The leader will give
assignment, and then it is up for the subordinates to accomplish the task in whatever manner they
can.
CHARACTERISTICS OF A GOOD LEADER
● Integrity of character. The word is synonymous to honor. It is a fine sense of ethics, justice, and
righteousness with a readiness to apply it to one’s own conduct. It is the determination to meet any
obligation, however distasteful.
● Willingness to accept responsibilities. Acceptance of responsibility signifies a desire to lead and this
desire is strengthened by increasing interest. Some great leaders had achieved success after much
effort. Their successes can be attributed to infinite patience, hard work and a desire for success that
never recognized defeat.
QUALITIES OF A GOOD LEADER
According to Zulueta et al (1999), the essence of leadership is followership. This means influencing
people to work willingly enthusiastically toward the achievement of group goals. Willingness to work
means working with zeal and confidence (Zulueta et.al, 1999). Maxwell (2002) further opines that what
matters most is not whether one influences someone, but, how one will use that influences.

SOCIAL MOBILIZATION
Effective social mobilization goes beyond community organizations, harnessing the potential and
efforts of government or non-government sector and citizens to work sustainable social, economic and
political development. The benefits of social mobilization to community organizations and its impact locally
and nationally can be best sustained within an enabling political, policy and regulatory environment and
where mechanisms for linking experiences and lessons at the community level to policy are developed.
Organizational development- a process which community members and especially the poor from their
own groups or organizations based on common development interests and needs are best serve by
organizing themselves as a group.
* Empowerment is the process of people taking action to overcome the obstacles to progress where this
action involves getting more control over their situation.
* Community Empowerment enables individuals and the community to do their own thinking and reflection to
improve their situation.
* Sustainability comes only when individuals, groups and communities have ownership of the problem and
are able to act on their own.
● Institutional Development
* Seeks to improve the ability of the institution to carry out its mandate, mission and vision and achieve its
goals and objectives.
* Key levels: Systems, processes, networks financial capacity, physical infrastructure and management of
resources.
● Networking and Alliances Building
* Social Mobilizations success depends on the identification of relevant individuals and groups which can
contribute to the achievement of the programs goals.
** Partners are those with whom we work directly
** Allies are those who have similar interests and programs with us, but with whom we may not
work directly.
Social mobilization is an important tool in the poverty alleviation process, ad it enables communities and
poor themselves to engage actively in solving their own problems and effectively tackling poverty in its multi-
● Promoting Democratic Governance-experience shows that poverty and bad governance mutually
reinforce, as they foster exclusion of citizens from decision making processes, lack of access to basic
services, lack of opportunity, dependency and limited availability of public goods.
● Environmental Management is the act of organizing people to better manage their natural resources
and fight against practices and organizations that degrade the environment through promoting
appropriate legal, regulatory and institutional frameworks and policy dialogue.
● Conflict Prevention as people organize to address common problems and to collectively improve their
socio-economic conditions in an equitable, democratic and transparent manner, possibility of conflict
can be significantly reduced.
The series of mobilization and management training interventions goes something like this
(Modified according to varying situations)
Sensitization and Clearance- Sessions with local leaders and government officials.
Awareness Raising- Public meetings with members of target communities.
Mobilizer Training- organizing the community workers
Unity Organizing- putting together different community units or members
Management training-the training of community leaders and mobilizers
Participatory Assessment- identifying priority problems
Community Action Plan (CAP)- consistent with district plans and community priorities.
Community Project Designs- created from and submitted by target communities as proposals.
Negotiation- proposals discussed until they meet everyone’s expectations.
Implementation Begins- work on community projects by community members starts.
Monitoring and Reporting- following up and preparing updated reports on development
Work Continues until Completion-implementation, monitoring, reporting, and payments
Official Completion Ceremony- invite more community project designs.
III. IMPLEMENTATION
It is a process of carrying out the projects and activities in the community action plan. Its main
purpose is to test the feasibility of the planned projects and activities, and institute necessary change or
modifications when necessary.
Roles of Community Workers during Implementations
1. Oversee and direct the implementation of projects and activities
2. Conduct an information and advocacy campaign on the community plan
3. Motivate the community members to contribute the projects and activities
4. Monitor the status of implementation (come up with a checklist or data board on the status of
projects/activities)
5. Make quick judgment in consultation with the community members when problems arise.
6. Coordinate various activities, tasks and efforts of community member
7. Mobilize community resources for the projects and efforts of community problem
8. Conduct regular consultation and feed-backing with community members.
9. Clarify roles of each member on projects or activities.
10. Manage interpersonal relationships and conflict management
11. Facilitate team-building activities (reflection processes, values-formation)
