1. PSNEI Stand Towards NSTP Education and
Implementation*
Presented by:
FLORIDA C. LABUGUEN, Ed. D.
President of PSNEI
We, the members of the Philippine Society of NSTP Educators
and Implementors Inc., support the continuing implementation of
Republic Act 9163 otherwise known as the National Service Training
Program Act of 2001.
The implementation of the program for the past four years
yielded effective accomplishments in developing civic consciousness
and responsibility and sense of national service among the youth. The
wealth of programs, projects, instructional materials and
methodologies formulated to implement the dimensions of the
program have been successful in addressing the needs of the desired
youth formation for the service of the nation.
NSTP as implemented, not only addressed the issue of security
of the Philippine territory but also issues of security of the Filipino
people and the Philippine environment as well. The program, through
its components, has extended the paradigm of security to include the
promotion of economic, political and social development, and
protection from the non-military security threats such as ecological
degradation, climate change, food shortages, drug abuse and electoral
reforms.
NSTP has modules and methodologies designed to provide a
broader, wider and deeper perspective on the concepts of patriotism,
discipline and Ethics of Service. It further provided richer
opportunities for the development and practice of these values
conducted in an atmosphere of Maka-Diyos, Maka-Tao, Maka-Bansa,
Maka-Kalikasan and the core values of faith in the Almighty God,
respect for life, order, work, concern for the family and future
generations, love, freedom, peace, truth, justice, unity, equality,
respect for the law and government, patriotism, promotion of the
common good, concern for the environment, and furthermore, trust
and promotion of democratic principles.

2. The options offered by the program allowed students to choose
the kind of service training that would match their skills, expertise
and interests reinforcing intent to pursue the training with the right
meaning and motivation.
Finally, NSTP, through the years of its implementation initiated
and facilitated multi-stakeholder collaborations and alliances that
strengthened the delivery of services to partner communities, and
reinforced participatory development that brought the academe and
other collaborating institutions together and closer to the people to
the best interest of the state.
To maximize the purpose of the law, the NSTP Program of
institutions must be properly managed; proper implementation is the
key to success of the program. Institutions can assure good results by
having qualified trainors, complete learning materials and facilities, a
strong support from the administration and proper utilization of funds
for the project.
In a span of FOUR YEARS, innumerable and varied were the
services done to institutions and communities by the program. We
therefore urge the honourable members of the House of
Representatives and the House of Senate to conduct an independent
and scientific evaluation of the program accomplishments to
justifiably assess its worth and provide sound bases for supporting
R.A.9163.
Hence, we maintain and support R.A. 9163. Let us work as one
NSTP Family!
