Rotc (military Science) Becomes Mandatory Again

[iamtanji]

This is still going to be another venue for corruption.

[Acer55]

Ibalik mandatory...

[*kalel*]

I think this is a good thing... pero paano yung mga nalaktawan pero nagaaral pa rin?

[Mind Set]

Dati nagbayad lang ako nang ROTC ko... puro 3's binigay.... at least nakapasa....

 

Pero dapat ibalik....

[peterpan_20]

Pabor ako ibalik. Pero in civilian application sana. Instead of military drills, disaster response nalang sana or traffic management in a community. Pwede din fire fighting. It’s no secret our country deals a lot with natural calamities. Traffic is also a battlefield for us. Sana Lang no exemption lalo na sa future leaders natin. We don’t need to wait for the Conventional military wars to happen, there are many ways to serve.

You don't put a grade on love of country. Abolish mandatory ROTC. Make it a requirement for future politicians if you want, but leave out citizens who do not care for bullsh*t.

OO dapat lang may Military Training para sa mga kabataan - hindi dahil kailangan ng dagdag na subject na kukunin nila pero para balang-araw na maharap ang Pilipinas sa digmaan / pananakop ng mga dayuhan o teroristang grupo at kailangang ipagtanggol ang bansa at ang mga mahal natin sa buhay : alam humawak ng sandata at lumaban. Hindi yung sa keyboard lang malakas.

Took my ROTC in Fort Bonifacio...2 weeks of pain

[francis_0170]

Mejo chill ang ROTC kesa sa CAT nuong time ko. Kase nakasama ako sa model platoon at sumali kame sa competition sa highschool.

Nuong ROTC especially 2nd year, nasa social work kame.

Both ROTC at CAT teaches discipline.

[kawawangpinoy]

i balik. defense training. 

[Swatch]

Sa Fort Bonifacio ako nag ROTC

Was a member of the drill platoon and a medic

Pero joke time lang ginagawa ng commandant

Lagi nakikipaghabulan sa grounds pag gupitan na ng buhok 😅

I think guys today should experience the feel of military service at least once

Isang issue na hindi masyado napaguusapan:  Is the Philippine government really willing to bring back ROTC as a program that provides actual military training (including firearms handling and familiarization with basic infantry tactics) to students around the country, with all of its implications?  

People often forget that ironically, many of the NPA cadres (and some MNLF cadres too) in the 70's onwards were able to do so much damage partly thanks to the fact that they received military training in the ROTC program as students.

As a reaction to this fact, in the 90s the ROTC program was scaled back/devolved to "magdamagang martsa at bilad sa araw" in many schools and universities, with most students never learning any valuable skill beyond how to pay bribes to bullies and underachievers possessing temporary power.   

Willing ba talaga ang gobyerno na magturo ng firearms training sa bawat estudyante sa Cagayan Valley o sa Bukidnon? Sa Panay Island? Sa Jolo at Basilan? Sa Maguindanao? Baka magulat sila, ang dami biglang sumali sa ROTC hehe. 

On top of all of these, may paraan ba ang AFP na pigilan ang malawakan na korapsyon sa ROTC na naexpose sa pagpatay kay Mark Chua ng UST? O gagawin na naman cash cow ito ng mga kurakot?

[kano_d_great]

Good to have!

It adds colour to your life.

Dito sa amin National Service, mandatory. 

[JackieM]

this should be part of the requirement for graduation, Sa South Korea and Singapore nga ang requirement ay 2 years mandatory military service.

I could still remember noon college ako kasama ako sa MP Platoon and in one occasion after dismissal biglang dumating mga barkada ko may dalang sasakyan at sumama na lang kaming magkakaibigan na  naka ROTC uniform pa di namin alam kung saan ang lakad, yung pala aattend kami sa kanduli (muslim feast) sa isang MILF rebel camp. buti na lang kasama kong naka uniform ng ROTC and isang barkada ko na brother ng commander ng group. Yung kaibigan kong yun ay Minister of Labor ngayon ng BARMM.
