“Serving Our People, Building Our Nation” is the goal of the NSTP in UP Diliman. The UP NSTP program assumes the students’ innate potential which the UP through its academic and student support programs, has the obligation to develop. The students go through the process of self-awareness, which enables them to take a realistic view of themselves in relation to others such as family, friends and their country.

Three dimensions have been identified which are deemed necessary in the goal of developing the self for the service of the nation:

•Citizenship

•Voluntarism

•Career exploration and development

Citizenship

the meaning of citizenship and the essence of

being a Filipino citizen

“… the basis of collective self-respect and respect for each other - and thus of social cohesion and nation-building - is always a sense of one’s worth as a Filipino, a firm belief in one’s own strengths and creativity.” Felipe M. de Leon, Jr. Culture In

Development Planning. 2006

Voluntarism

this is an integral part of the service to the nation as

exemplified in the “Iskolar ng Bayan” concept among the UP students as they apply their UP education in the service

of humankind and the nation

“The most important contribution of parents and teachers in nation-building is to build the positive sense of self of every child”

- Lourdes Carandang

Career exploration and development

linking career to service to the nation will make the Filipino citizen

realize what he can do for his country, how he can actualize or go about expressing what he wants to

do for his nation. The career exploration allows them the

opportunity to take a second look at their reasons for opting for a career

field and either reinforce their choice or cause a change in their

career plans.

“The Filipino must now discover himself in the realm of consciousness- that is, a consciousness that articulates its own economic, political and cultural aspirations”

Constantino, Renato. Neocolonial Identity and Counter-consciousness. 1978
