ROTC balak i-require ulit

I'm ok with requiring the ROTC... although it would be better if the parent/student would have the option to pick whether he likes community service or pseudo armed forces training.

At least, if war does reach our shores, those who underwent the CMT / ROTC will have a basic knowledge of how a military unit operates. Heck, if our lolos survived the Death March and conducted guerialla warfare half a century ago - then I suppose a few hours of training is not so bad.

CAT back then was a lot of fun really... got to learn how to rapel, navigate rope & obstacle courses, dismantle & assemble an M16, etc.

i very much agree.

iba na talaga ang mga Pilipino. konting hirap lang sa katawan eh reklamo na agad. minsan ndi pa na-try yung isang bagay, reklamo agad.

ndi lang naman pang giyera ang ROTC. pang disiplina din. maaga ka gigising tapos maaga papasok etc.

Iniwasan ko dati to 94-98 UST, light duty lang ako kumbaga. In theory maganda sana to para just in case may lumusob sa Pilipinas officer sana tayo kaso in reality wala ata tayo armas para ma armasan lahat just in case mag ka gera, so wala din.

Let’s face it gastos lang yan. Kung gusto talaga ng bata pumasok sa military, andyan ang PMA at PNPA. Kung gustong maging enlisted napakadali rin. Kung background ang kailangan dapat sa high school i-required yan. Dahil after high school kung talagang gustong mag PMA, Police, MNLF, MILF, NPA o Abu Sayyaf eh madali na.

Ako nung college, nagbayad rin ako. P300 / MS lang noon. Dahil sa uniform, pamasahe, time at pagod eh sulit na rin bayaran. Yun nga lang corrupt officers ang mga nakinabang.

IMO, there should be a choice between ROTC or Community Service. Also, this should be held on SATURDAYS!!! ROTC 1998-2000 San Beda. Oh, our ROTC then were held on saturday mornings only.

**flakez** · August 14th, 2007 11:13 AM

dapat optional na lang... ako nung freshmen MP... puro tambay lang kami. hahahaha

**cc81352** · August 14th, 2007 11:29 AM

dapat optional. laki kasi ng gastos ko nun every saturday, kasi pamasahe from qc to villamor, at ang gagawin lang eh maglinis ng mga sira sirang baril at ibilad sa araw.

after AS21 and 22, binayaran ko na lang ung sumunod.

so dapat mamili na lang mga studyante kung ano mas gusto, community service or ROTC
