- All students in baccalaureate or 2-year technical vocational courses must complete one NSTP component.
- The Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) requires a minimum of 350 cadet students.
- Foreign students are exempt from NSTP requirements.
- Students who graduated in 2005 or prior are not required to undertake NSTP components.

Historical Context
- The training course for national defense dates back to Spanish colonial times, with formal military instruction beginning at the University of the Philippines.
- Presidential Decree 1706 establishes obligations for all citizens in the Philippines regarding national service.
Environmental Awareness
- Environmental degradation leads to resource depletion, habitat destruction, and pollution.
- Four components of the environment include living organisms, nonliving things, and various ecological interactions.
- Change is a constant in the environment, with organisms evolving over time.
Waste and Pollution
- Two types of waste: renewable and non-renewable.
- Renewable resources can be replenished naturally, while non-renewable resources cannot.
- Environmental laws, including treaties and regulations, aim to address human impact on the environment.
Environmental Protection Laws
- Presidential Decree No. 1586 was established in 1978 to balance socio-economic development with environmental protection.
- Laws restrict hazardous substances to protect human health and the environment, preventing the import and disposal of nuclear waste in the Philippines.
Clean Air and Water Initiatives
- Objectives include achieving clean air quality and protecting water bodies from pollution caused by land-based resources.
- Comprehensive solid waste management programs are to be adopted across educational curricula.
Pollution Types and Their Impacts
- Air pollution: Caused by the release of harmful particles from fuel burning, contributing to health issues.
- Water pollution: Results from chemicals, sewage, and heavy metals entering waterways.
- Noise pollution: Linked to health problems and affects wildlife navigation and migration patterns.
Ecosystem Dynamics
- Ecosystems are maintained through the interaction of biotic (living) and abiotic (nonliving) components.
- Disruptions in these interactions can cause systemic imbalances and environmental deterioration.
Challenges in Environmental Management
- Deforestation and overharvesting threaten biodiversity and ecosystem stability.
- Natural disasters can significantly alter environmental conditions, impacting plant and animal communities.
