“We believe that to ensure that our future is safe it’s important that we broaden our concept of security because the foundation of peace, order, and justice lies in the people’s economic security, health security — which as we know was made vulnerable during the pandemic — and the security of people who have the knowledge of reading and science,” Balane said.“Our recommendation is that, instead of making ROTC mandatory, we should extend the NSTP,” he said.
He also stressed the need to redirect government efforts to address the learning crisis, citing the learning poverty and dropout rates among students nationwide.“These are some of the indications that our education sector is in a crisis and that it needs attention and funds. We can say the Senate will find a way to fund the program. But if that’s the case, it got SCAP thinking that we already have the capacity and funds all along,” he said in Filipino.
Gilo similarly called to expand the NSTP to cover the various ways students can maximize their skill set and talents.But Sen. Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa — a staunch advocate for the revival of mandatory ROTC — said these calls had no bearing on the issue.
