Senator Ronald ‘’Bato’’ dela Rosa is optimistic that a bill making Reserved Officers Training Course (ROTC) mandatory in colleges as well as in technical and vocational courses would be enacted into law before the end of 2023. | ManilaBulletin
Dela Rosa, however, doesn't think that the Mandatory ROTC bill would be passed by Congress before the second State of the Nation Address of President Ferdinand ‘’Bongbong’’ Marcos Jr. on the fourth Monday of July.‘’Majority rules. We live in a democratic country,’’ he stressed, saying that the remaining 16 percent represented by some school organizations should just cool their heels.For persons with disabilities, an alternative program of instruction would be offered, Dela Rosa said.
Dela Rosa, a former Philippine National Police chief, said those who fail to complete the ROTC training would not be able to graduate. As for out-of-school youths, dela Rosa said he would press for the implementation of an old law, Republic Act 7077, or the Reservists Act, following the activation of ROTC training.Dela Rosa said a P5-billion appropriation is needed for the free uniform and boots for ROTC trainees for both public and private school students.
Aside from physical military education, ROTC will teach respect for human rights, environmental preservation, love of country, personality and moral development, and disaster preparedness. The senator from Davao said the bill would establish local and national grievance mechanisms for abuses and hazing.
