“Ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do

for your country.”

It is a notable quotation from U.S. President John F. Kennedy during

his inaugural address. This passage challenged his countrymen to do their

responsibility as a citizen which is to serve and protect the state.

This principle can be the reason why the 1987 constitution

mandated all the college students to take up NSTP or National Service

Training Program (NSTP). A 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 program

components. Its various components are specially designed to enhance

youth’s active contribution to the general welfare.

The Act affirmed that the prime duty of the government was to serve

and protect its citizens. In turn, it shall be the responsibility of all the citizens

to defend the security of the State and because of this the government may

require each citizen to render personal, military or civil service. Recognizing

the youth's vital role in national building, the State shall promote civic

consciousness among the youth and shall develop their physical, moral,

spiritual, intellectual and social well being. It shall inculcate in the youth

patriotism, nationalism and advance their involvement in public and civic

affairs.

“Ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country.” Documentation on NSTP

This summer, from April 22 to May 13, we had our NSTP class under

the supervision of Mrs. Miriam San Diego. We underwent different activities

like the water survival, rescue training and basic life support. All of the

activities serve as a preparation in case of national emergency or when the

state needed the help of its countrymen.

E X P E C T A T I O N

We did not expect too much because we don’t want to disappoint

ourselves in case we did not meet those expectations. We just want to enjoy

and have fun this summer. But of course, there are things that we want to

experience. We like to do some outreach program, to learn new things that

we can apply in our daily lives and to meet new friends and people.

Again, we just want to enjoy the summer vacation while having our

NSTP so we hope that this course will not be demanding or serious. We want

to have some rest from the stressful subjects that we had during the regular

class.

As a student, being adventurous is normal that’s why we’re hoping to

face some challenging activities where we can show our abilities and skills.

In this world, we are exposed in different kinds of people. Some people

come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay and become your friends. So

while taking our NSTP this summer we are open to encounter fresh faces and

make friends on them. But at the end, we should not forget the real essence

why we should take the NSTP course.

Report:

On April 25, 2013 we went to Parada Sports Complex to have our

water survival. Some of the students were exempted because they already

had their swimming class in PE 3. For those who underwent the training, they

were asked first to feel the water and do the bubbles. It was done in order to

get rid of their fear on water. They learned the basic skills like the different

kind of floating, and the flutter kick.

After the water survival, we had the jungle survival. In this training,

we were taught to make fire using the bamboo stick. We can also make a

spoon, plate glass using the same materials.

Expectation:

We’re hoping to have some camping where the jungle survival can be

taught so it will become more realistic.

Recommendation:

More facilities in Parada Sports Complex where we can assure our privacy.

More cubicles or room where we can change our clothes.

Camping for jungle survival.

Report:

On April 29, 2013 we underwent some

training related to rescuing. We perform the

rappelling, wall climbing and zip line. Before doing

those activities, the instructors taught us the skills

needed. They introduced us the different

equipments like the rope and the karabiner. They

also showed the improvised harness using the rope made from

Manila hemp and the steps on how to do it. They demonstrated

the proper position and handling on the rope.

Expectation:

Actually, the only expectation is that the activity on this day will be

hard and challenging.

Recommendation:

We noticed that the equipments are damaged and old. We understand

because it is a public institution. And we think that the place can only

accommodate a maximum of 50 to 60 individuals. So 100 individuals can

make the place congested. There is also a lack on ventilation.

Report:

On April 29, 2013 at the Rescue 177 Training Center, we had

our Basic Life Support Training. This is one of the requirements in NSTP .

The activity starts at 12 o’clock in the afternoon. The students are under

the supervision of registered medical officials some are professor from

other universities and some are registered nurse. This training gives the

listeners all the theories needed in dealing with life threatening

emergencies. We also had the chance to perform what we had learned. In

our group Ellyson and Nestie were tasked to do the cardio-pulmonary

resuscitation.

Expectations

In this activity we expect to have more knowledge and new

theories about emergency situation that we can easily apply. The Training

Program meets our expectations; the different theories are explained well in

a “spoon feed “like manner.

Recommendations

Before, during and after the training we had some observations and

recommendations that can improve for the NSTP next year.

As we arrive on the venue, we observed that the place is quite small

for the large number of people. The place became overcrowded.

It is an open area. In our case, there are two batch of students; 1 st is

for the basic life support training and the other one is for the rescue


10



training (rappelling, wall climbing etc.) We get distracted from the

other batch of students who are shouting at that time.

After all the activities, we can say that it meets our expectation. We

enjoyed every activity that you had offer to us. We learned new skills that we

can used and apply in our daily lives and during emergency situation. Some

of the students had already faced their fear. We also had the chance to

encounter people that sooner become our friends.

We just want to recognize our professor Mrs. Miriam San Diego that

makes this course interesting, fun and memorable. We had fun on every

teambuilding activity that we performed in class. Because of her coolness,

we enjoy this course that contributes in meeting our expectations. Her

humor makes the discussion alive.

Like what we said on our expectation, we want to have some rest

from stressful days during the regular class. Meeting this expectation is

possible because of the professor that actively participated and contributed

their skills and knowledge in making this course exciting and motivating. We

think that Mr. Ricardo Francisco did his job well and effective who is in

charge in implementing this program.

There is no perfect in this world that’s why there’s always room for

improvement. Here are the observations and recommendation for the next

NSTP class next summer:

More on film showing. It is good to have some film viewing but make

sure that the film is not too old.

Some of the equipments are malfunctioning. The television screen is

black and white.

On rescue training, the place should be well ventilated. Avoid the

overcrowding of the students. There should be a divider or room where

we can focus and not be distracted by the other students.

More and new exciting activities like camping for jungle survival.

Show or present the list of activities for the whole period of this course.
