Rotc (military Science) Becomes Mandatory Again

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? 

  

Very well said @dc123

I had classmates who attended more than the amount of days required yet in the end of the semester the records say they lack 1 or 2 or 3 days, so ending is they had to pay for the number of days needed to pass that sem. So even for some students who dont want to pay for it to pass, for some reason these corrupt rotc personel find ways to add or force students to pay. And there are these collections they make they say its for a patch or patches for the uniform. 20php a piece. And of course during or after the sem you will not receive these patches. Multiply 20php to thousands of students who attend rotc and that's a big kickback.

Sunday ang sched dati ng ROTC, wala tuloy pahinga. Derederetso ang pasok mula Monday up to Sunday. Hehe...

Naabutan ko ang CAT at ROTC isa mga walang kwentang subject. Bilad araw at martsa lang napapala ng mga estudyante. Wala man lang self-defense at basic weapons training. May mga nagsasabi na para magkaroon ng displina? Aanhin mo ang disiplina sa panahon ng giyera? Ibalik na lang nila ang GMRC kung disiplina ang habol ng karamihan.

 

Kung gusto nilang ibalik ang ROTC ayusin nila ang training program para dito. No need na rin yung 2 years mandatory military service ginagawa lang yan ng ibang bansa pag onti lang population na pwedeng isabak sa giyera o may banta ng giyera sa mga katabing bansa.

i agree, galing na ako sa cat, galing na ako sa rotc, galing na rin ako sa community service, galing din ako sa public school, galing na rin ako sa private school, galing na rin ako sa mga eskwelahang may mga rigid and regimental disciplines, galing na rin ako sa private sector and public sector na mga trabaho...iba pa rin talaga ung may DISCIPLINA. kung may disciplina, walang abuso at corruption. kasi kung may nangyayaring abuso at corruption, malamang wala nang disiplina na nagaganap. kung may abuso at corruption labanan ito na may kalakip na disciplina at tapang ng loob. kung wala kang disiplina at tapang ng loob, tuloy-tuloy ang laganap ng abuso at corruption. its not yet late, pwede mo simulan magkaroon ng disiplina para makatulong malabanan ang corruption at pang aabuso.

[eyehategod]

ROTC and CAT is just Mother Fucking Bull Shit!!! No lessons learned and just a Big Source of Corruption!!!

[courtesanhunter]

wala tong kuwenta kung walang budget para armasan ang mga reserve. in case magkaroon ng digmaan o sakupan magiging survival lang ang laban ng mga Pinoy. at sapat na yung survival skills na itinuturo sa scouting. kailangan na lang dagdagan ng lesson sa assembly at operation ng iba't ibang klase ng mga armas.

Hazing alert

Source of corruption just like it was before it was stopped. Those who could afford just paid for attendance. Those who couldn''t afford had to endure "military training" that was nothing more than marching drills at most. Many schools didn't even have big enough school grounds for marching so cadets just spent the whole day inside classrooms twiddling their thumbs. Not all cadets could even be supplied with those antiquated Garand rifles which were not even close to what was being used by the actual military.
