Rotc (military Science) Becomes Mandatory Again

[sonnyt111]

binalik na nga ba yung rotc sa college? may alternative daw na community service eh di ba?

 

nung panahon namin sa fort bonifacio kami isang buong summer para tapusin 2 years worth ng cmt pero at least totoong sundalo ang taga turo sa amin hindi yung mataas lang ng kaunti sa boy scout na akala general na sila

He he he. Give the upper classmen some special training, make them into "officers", and they think they're suddenly Rambo. Yeah I'd like to know kung naibalik ang ROTC sa mga universties and colleges. Usually sa Saturdays or Sundays ang ROTC. Wala naman akong nakikitang mga bata na naka bihis ng military uniform. Baka naman tuluyan ng nawala ang ROTC. The fact that we're even asking each other means we haven't even heard about the re-introduction of ROTC.

 

Can anyone confirm this?

Kids today have better things to do with their time instead of marching up and down a field under the hot sun. Their time will be better spent doing community service.

[Fusarium_jimini]

ROTC should be made mandatory again..

[faroasis01]

Agree. Sa ibang bansa nga tulad ng South Korea required ang two years na military service diba. Walang exempted kahit yung mga celebrity. Dapat ganyan din dito sa atin.

ang alam ko hindi na mandatory, but optional ang ROTC along with community service. mamimili ka. i took ROTC back in SY 2004 - 2005. utol ko 2006 - 2007. reason why i took it? since conservatory student ako, automatic na part ako ng ROTC choir. only thing we do is sing the school hymn, sing the national anthem, and sit in the shade for hours until we are dismissed.

 

and of course wear stupid fatigues. (pointless)

Marches and parades predate automated weaponry. The reason for organized movement is to ensure a steady flow of firepower. But all these exercises are obsolete due to technological innovation.

the purpose of ROTC is to provide a ready reserve force in time of war. Indeed there are some countries that employ CONSCRIPTS (eto ang tawag pag nag serve ka na sa armed force nila, ROTC is the training part) mainly South Korea and Israel this is because, well for SOKOR, they are technically still at war with NOKOR and Israel can't afford to be lax in their defense considering they are surrounded by Arab countries ready to pounce on them anytime. But the Philippines? yes it was mandatory then since the the peace situation in the region and the whole world was very fragile but today? for it to be revived i agree with some of the posters here that the curriculum needs to be improved to deliver a more responsive program. Is NSTP better? IMHO i think it just legalized the corruption in the ROTC then of paying off your absences by paying the necessary tuition, dagdag pa dyan ang mga required books pati uniform. isipin mo sa colleges and universities ngayon iba ang uniform ng PE iba sa NSTP, eh sino kikita dyan?sympre ang school. With ROTC kase lugi sila, they have to open the school on Sunday translating to overhead costs plus they give honoraria pa to the Commandant ng School plus free Office Space so lalabanan ng mga schools yan.

 

A revived, responsive and advanced ROTC is indeed more effective in training the youth of today.

[Saint Nemesis]

it should still optional

[bonanas]

Dapat ibalik pero dapat bayad na ng gobyerno. Hindi porke't may corruption dito ay itigil na.

 

Yung gobyerno natin corrupt na corrupt, dapat itigil na lang ba? Maganda maayos ang ROTC at may constant training.

 

 

Hindi lang na naman sa time of war magagamit to, yearly may natural disaster or state emergencies. Like sa States yung reserves nila (National Guard) bawat states may naka standby at iko call up in times of need.

 

Makikinabang ang citizenry lalo na yung mate train ng disaster/emergency response. Mas madali kapag iko call up na lang yung reserves at hindi na totally aasa sa active armed forces.

 

Plus yung disiplina ng citizenry ngayon. Maganda at madami ang matutunan dito, leadership skills, team work/cohesion, patriotism at yung military courtesy and discipline madadala yan at magagamit ng individual kahit tapos na yung ROTC.

 

Inaabuso talaga yung ROTC, di ako sang ayon dun. Pero ang buhay naman is progression, sayang yung nagbuwis ng buhay na UST student, imbes na pagandahin ang ROTC, band aid solution ang ginawa. In abolish na lang, dahil dun he died in vain exposing yung corruption. Di itinuloy ang laban!

 

Band aid solution and short sightedness pa din ang solusyon ng mga hayop na politicos. SMH! Sayang ang ROTC!

[Gits]

for me it's better to remove ROTC. if you want to become a soldier go to PMA instead. opinion ko lang. PAX!

[glut_func]

wala namang kwenta ang ROTC...dagdag bayarin tapos pahihirapan ka lang, as if freshmen life wasn't hard enough already.

I think the country should adapt to something like this. Change the program so it can serve the country better.

Kaya mga lampa mga lalaki natin eh, tsk.

[rap86]

May rotc pa ba?

[Edmund Dantes]

Sakin ok ito kung........

 

1. Me check and balances. I know importante pagtuturo ng military discipline at konting hazing para maging magaling na sundalo, pero huwag naman dapat sosobra. Me oversight dapat. Lay down the ground rules

 

2. Me maayos na curriculum for the cadettes. Ito naman pinakamalaking problema ng ROTC programs eh. Natutunan mo lang naman pag ma-martsa. Magbilad sa araw. Makinig sa mga opisyal na puros "gaddemit!" "gaddemit!" lang. Hindi ka naman talaga natututo ng military science. Ng mga basic tactics sa labanan. Kahit nga yung sense of patriotism mo, hindi naman talaga nahahasa dito kasi walang maayos na lessons para dyan. Dapat me practical na matututunan mga cadette.

 

Sakin ok ito. I see a lot of potential kung iexecute ng tama ang program na ito. Unang unag tuturuan mo mga students ng disiplina. Physical fitness din. Survival training etc.

Pag puro

Marcha lang, huwag na. Kumpol kump balenisang tapunan lang ng granada patay na buong platoon
