Since the 1980s, national service expanded into Law Enforcement Service, Civic Welfare Service, and Military Service. Youth play vital roles in nation-building beyond military involvement. Republic Act 9163 highlights the importance of civic service in addition to military service. Evolution of NSTP Commonwealth Act No. 1, known as the 'National Defense Act', mandated college students to undergo Military Training. Presidential Decree No. 1706 amended Commonwealth Act No. 1, leading to the National Service Law. Presidential Decree No. 1706 required compulsory national service in CWS, LES, or MS for tertiary education. Suspension of the National Service Law occurred after Marcos' ouster, transitioning to Basic ROTC. Republic Act 7707 in 1991 modified the Basic ROTC Course into the Expanded ROTC Program. NSTP History Abuses and Victims of ROTC Practices Mark Welson Chua's disappearance and subsequent death led to the inception of NSTP. Chua, a UST student, exposed corruption within the ROTC program. His father, Nelson Chua, fought for justice and uncovered a Kidnap for Ransom gang at UST. Chua's case sparked protests against the ROTC program. The incident prompted a proposal to transform ROTC into the National Service Program.
