The need for preparing the youth for their

duties as citizens via the National Service

Training Program (NSTP) cannot be over-

emphasized. As embodied in Republic Act

No.  9163,  the NSTP Law  of  2011  has us

herd  a new direction in training the Filipino

youth for the duties  and  responsibilities

of citizenship. This citizenship program

purports to prepare the youth for their

primordial tasks as nation-builders and citizen-soldiers in response to the clarion call of the times.

As an educational program and a curricular requirement, it is aimed at transforming the youth into productive assets for local and national development. Based on the findings from history that there are much to be expected from the intrinsic and potential value of the young Filipino, the Program is designed to develop knowledge, skills and values in order for them to become good citizens.
