The passage of the mandatory Reserved Officers Training
Course (ROTC) for senior high school students by the House of Representatives
got another support this time coming from the Philippine National Police(PNP).
"We are convinced that the ROTC program is
designed to build a solid foundation to instill patriotism and nationalism
among the youth to become useful citizens who possess the skills, knowledge and
the heart to uphold and defend the country's national institutions and
sovereignty," PNP Chief, Gen. Oscar Albayalde said.
The PNP chief said they would
make representations in the drafting of the law and its implementing rules and
regulations that would include subjects on law enforcement, disaster response,
rule of law and civil rights in addition to basic military science subjects.

"A small country like ours deserve to have a
strong reserve force that can be called upon to augment the existing complement
of regular forces. God forbid that we will need to mobilize our reserve force
like what we did in World War II, but when the situation presents itself, the
reservists shall prove themselves ready and up to the task," he said.
