Chancellor of UST, with the aid of a sergeant of the Royal Spanish Army, organized a battalion of young students for military training.  These boys, displaying courage and commendable spirit in the face of a real war against a superior enemy, won for the university the award of "Royal Cedula" from the King of Spain, who conferred on them the title of "Regalia", and the seal of loyalty: "Muy Leal", for participating in the fight against the British. To this daythe "Muy Leal" crest remains a part of the UST ROTC seal, and was adopted by the unit's ROTC fraternity as its motto. Commonwealth Era In 1939, President Manuel L. Quezon issued Executive Order No.207 to implement the National Defense Act.. As described by Louis Morton in his book "The Fall of the Philippines”, One of the greatest difficulties encountered in the organization of the Philippine Army was the creation of a satisfactory officer corps in the Constabulary were Filipino officers with ROTC in World War II By 1941 there were 33 colleges and universities throughout the country that maintained ROTC units.
