CITIZENSHIP TRAINING MODULE 1  OVERVIEW The Philippine state recognizes the invaluable role of its youth in aiding to call for reform, demand accountability from its duly elected officials, and bring about radical change that fits the changing needs of their generation. This isa fact that the state realizes so much so that it has instituted laws which mandate and protect the rights of the role of its youth in nation building through letting them become involved through early education, values inculcation, and community service. The introduction to young adults into the history, the motivations, the ideals, and the desired outcomes of the National Service Training Program (NSTP) is but a stepping stone into making the youth aware of other larger, more complex societal issues that concern their participation and its impact on their future, and those of the youth to come after them. The NSTP, by way ofthelessons included in the modules and the exposure to communities, hopes to instill in the youth the importance of getting them to care not just for themselves and the people they are close with, but for the country asa whole. 2  OVERVIEW it the comp/etion of this modu/e, you should be able to: 1.

The NSTP has its historical basis in the 1935 Commonwealth Act No. 1, also Known as the National Defense Act which aimed to oblige all men aged 18- 30 to participate in military service. In 1980, Presidential Decree 1706 or National Service Law was enacted, which made all Filipinos obligated to participate in the civic welfare service, law enforcement service, and military service. Then Republic Act no.7077, or the Citizen Armed Force or Armed Forces ofthe Philippines Reservist Act was implemented in 1991 to train citizen soldiers. 5  LESSON 1: HISTORICAL & LEGAL BASES OF NSTP NSTP Law According to Republic Act 9163, National Service Training Program (NSTP) isa program aimed at enhancing civic consciousness and defense preparedness in the youth by developing the ethics of service and patriotism while undergoing training in any of its three (3) program components.

Regardless of where they live in the world, gender, race, sexual orientation, religious, cultural, or ethnic backgrounds; human rights are mandated by the United Nations to be "inalienable; indivisible; interdependent and interrelated." ‘ma/ienab/e’ because these rights can never be taken away. ‘Indivisible’ and ‘interdeRendent’ because all forms of rights — political, civil, social, cultural and economic — are all equally important toa human being, and taking away one means that the others cannot be enjoyed bya person to its fullest extent. Laws in countries across the world must uphold these rights. 14  LESSON 3: UNITED NATIONS PRINCIPLE ON HUMAN RIGHTS 1.

It encountered the most significant events in the Filipinos' struggle for freedom. "And since it symbolizes our ideals and sentiments as a nation, it deserves to be treated with solemnity and dignity," writes Arevalo. Our display of the Philippine Flag every May 28 - June 12 of each year honors the people who have sacrificed so much forournation's independence from its colonizers.
