Dear students, welcome to PUP National Service Training Program. The passing of the
NSTP Law in 2001 ushered a new and dynamic role for the youth. Having superseded Republic
Act 7077, where only the military component is required to be taken by every male student and
optional for women, the Law now gives every tertiary-level student, regardless of gender, equal
chances of being trained in either the military or the civilian aspect. Through this Law, you, the
Filipino youth, are being prepared to take on the baton of leadership in the Country as after you
have taken the NSTP Program, you are expected to have absorbed the values necessary to be
an invaluable player in local and national development. Indeed, an appropriate response is
needed from you and to attain this, you are to undergo the necessary training.
Polytechnic University of the Philippines, being one of the nation’s largest universities,
has around eight to ten thousand freshmen and around a hundred and fifty irregular students
taking up NSTP every school year in the main campus alone. The size of the population
promises a lot of potential, should updated and comprehensive implementation be followed in
teaching the subject in accordance with the latest amendment in the Implementing Rules and
Regulations of the NSTP Law.
This set of modules shall address the learning needs of the civilian components of NSTP
– the Civic Welfare Training Service (CWTS) and the Literacy Training Service (LTS) - though
the first four topics are required to be taken even by the ROTC as per R.A. 9163 Implementing
Rules and Regulations.
Furthermore, this set of modules follow the minimum requirement set in the workshop
output of participants to the 8th National Congress of NSTP Educators and Implementers where
one of the authors of this module is a participant. However, some modifications have been
made, in consideration of the immediate learning need of PUP students in civic welfare. These
topics are outlined for you in detail in the modules course guide.
It is our aim that through this module, you will learn and enjoy the training of becoming
productive and pro-active nation-builders.
