In his weekly radio program on DZRH, Tolentino, who is the honorary chairman of the games, said Reserve Officers Training Corps cadets will participate in the athletic competitions which include basketball, volleyball, boxing, kickboxing, arnis, athletics, and e-sports. Surprised by the enthusiasm and excitement of ROTC cadets upon the announcement of the games last year, Tolentino said this was a manifestation that support for the ROTC was strong despite the absence of a law mandating the program.
Contrary to misconceptions, the senator emphasized that ROTC is “not confined to the mechanical and physical aspects of the program", stressing that ROTC builds character, discipline and readiness to respond to concerns such as disasters, climate change, and food security.
