Republic Act 9418
The Volunteer Act of 2007
• Involves a wide range of activities done for others
where monetary and other incentives or rewards
are not the primary motivating factors
• It enables the recipient of the act and empowers
the person doing the act
• Based on RA 9418, this can come from the private
sector (academe, corporate sector, not-for-profit
organizations) and foreign volunteer
organizations. The government acts as the
coordinator and facilitator of these volunteer
activities.
The goal is national development…but what exactly is
national development?

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
RA 9418 acknowledges that every Filipino citizen has the
capacity to be of service to society. Volunteerism is one
path towards responsible citizenship.
Citizen Training and Values Development
Citizen Training
• A critical aspect to NSTP is training students so
that they would be in possession of knowledge,
skills, and values that would capacitate them for
service to others.
• Should the need to serve the country or others
arise, it shall be the choice of each individual
student whether they would become responsible
citizens or otherwise.
Values Development
• The decision whether to become a responsible
citizen or not is influenced by several internal and
external factors. It is necessary to be aware of
these drives so that negative ones can be kept in
check while positive ones can be allowed to
motivate one further.
• Human motivation theories are one of the many
tools that can be used to understand why some people
are good citizens and why some people are not. One of
the most common is Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs.
•
Studying Filipino values is another approach to
understanding why some Filipinos choose to be
responsible citizens while others choose to be
irresponsible.
Filipino Values
• Filipino values are principles or standards of
behavior established by Filipino society as a
reference for what is right or wrong. These values
are critical because they influence behavior.
Individual behavior has a ripple effect that
eventually affects the family, the community, and
then society.
• Filipino values have a positive and negative side
and learning to appreciate both sides is essential
to understanding it.
• The complexity of Filipino values stems from the
fact that it was influenced by various cultures
(Malay, Chinese, Arabic, Spanish, and American)
and continues to be influenced by modernization
and globalization.

Values Development
• Another tool for understanding ourselves and our
fellow Filipinos is the principle of critical thinking.
Critical thought allows people to gauge situations,
events, choices, etc. across their positive and
negative aspects. Many times, an individual’s
failure to live up to responsible citizenship is due
to a lack of critical thought.
Critical Thinking
“A mode of thinking – about any subject, content, or
problem – in which the thinker improves the quality of his
or her thinking by skillfully taking charge of the structures
inherent in thinking and imposing intellectual standards
upon them.” (Paul & Elder, 2008)
• Human beings have a very efficient brain. It is
through this efficiency that we are able to make
rapid and sensible conclusions with nothing to
guide us but a small amount of information and
our past experiences.
• However, not all situations call for rapid
conclusions. There are many critical situations
that call on us to pause, consider what facts and
information are available, and make careful
decisions.
•
Critical thinking is a consistent attempt to live
rationally, reasonably, and empathically; it is a
habit.
Starting Points to Critical Thinking
1. Critical thinking is the process of assessing opinions
- Everybody has an opinion but some opinions are
better substantiated than others.
2. Critical thinking is clear thinking about issues
- There is more than one side to every story; how
many sides have you heard?
3. The first step in thinking clearly about an issue is the
identification of that issue
- What is the issue being considered? What are the
arguments being presented?
4. The second step in thinking about an issue requires
telling the difference between factual and nonfactual
issues or questions
- Do you have facts or are you being presented
with fabrications? Are the fabrications presented
to you really fabrications or are they facts being
discredited by those against it? How legitimate
are your sources?
5. As a final preparation to clear thinking, watch out for
the factors that might influence your decision about a
claim but are in fact irrelevant to that decision
- Are you being influenced by biases and logical
fallacies in your attempt to consider an issue?
Environmental Protection
"Sustainable development is development that meets the
needs of the present without compromising the ability of
future generations to meet their own needs.“
- United Nations
Seven Principles of Environment
Adapted from Barry Commoner, compiled by Miriam
College
1. Everything is connected to everything else.
- The ecosystem is one functional unit that binds
anything within it to everything else. Human
interaction oftentimes alters the ecosystems.
2. All forms of life are important.
- Food webs, food chains and ecological
relationships link plants and animals together in
the web of life. Even bacteria, insects, snakes and
rats have ecological functions even though
humans perceive them as parasites or pests. All
organisms have a purpose and contribute to the
stability of the environment.
3. Everything must go somewhere.
- By-products of consumption go back to the
environment. Everything that we throw away –
pieces of paper, left-over food, peelings of fruits,
plastic wrappers, used containers – have to go
somewhere. There is a natural process involved
but what happens if what we throw away is an
artificial product such as plastic?
4. Ours is a finite earth.
- Everything that we need is provided by nature in
abundance – food, water, energy, minerals and
air. However, some resources that we depend
upon nowadays are extracted excessively but are
slow to replace. Some energy sources like water,
and wood may be replaced easier but have
become inaccessible due to pollution and
excessive extraction.
5. Nature knows best.
- Nature manifests certain processes that enable it
to maintain balance and remain in a state of
equilibrium. The equilibrium in the ecosystem is
maintained, but if humans intervene, unforeseen
negative impacts known as ecological backlash,
may arise.
6. Nature is beautiful and we are stewards of God’s
creations.
- As the species with the highest level of
intelligence in the planet, we are in a position to
know if nature is being threatened and we have
the potential to do something about it.
7. Everything changes.
- Changes in the biophysical world occur naturally.
For example, metamorphosis of caterpillars to
butterflies illustrates morphological changes that
occur in living forms. The increase of vegetation
on earth augmented the amount of oxygen in the
atmosphere through time. Seasons are cyclic
changes that contribute to the diversity of
flowers, fruits, vegetables and other crops during
the year. Change is natural. But human-induced
alteration such as climate change may cause
more massive repercussions.
Major Environmental Issues in the Philippines
• Climate change
• Decline of natural resources and biodiversity
• Alarming waste problem
• People’s behavior towards waste
National Security Concerns
The Concept of Security
Concept of National and Human Security
• According to National Security Council (NSC) “a
state or condition where our most cherished
values and beliefs, our democratic way of life, in
our institutions of governance and our unity,
welfare and well being as a nation and people are
permanently protected and continuously
enhance.” (Banlaoi, 2010)
National Intelligence Coordinating Agency
• (NICA) in 1964 , defines national security as “the
state or condition wherein the people’s way of
life and being are protected and or advance.” It is
the primary concern of the state to ensure
welfare and well-being of every Filipino.
HISTORY
• Philippine National Assembly on December 21,
1935. The purpose of this act was to create an
independent Philippine Army, and move
interrupted by the outbreak of the Second World
War.
• Commonwealth Act No. 1 also known as the
National Defense Act, is the original basis of the
national security program of the Republic of the
Philippines.
•
The 1987 Constitutions mandates civilian control
of the military and establishes the president as a
commander-in- chief of the armed forces.
• The President as heads of the National Security
Council, ostensibly the policy making and
advisory body for matters connected with
national defense.
•
The function of NSC’;s is to advise the President
with respect to the integration of domestic,
foreign and military policies relating to the
national security. The NSC also serves as the
President’s principal arm for coordinating these
policies among various government departments
and agencies in matters involving national
security.
President
 NSC
 National Executive Secretary
 Department Foreign Affairs
 Armed Forces of the Philippines
 DILG - PNP, BJMP & BFP
 Department Of Justice
 Department Of Labor Employment
Threats can be classified as chronic and sudden.
Examples of chronic threats:
• Hunger
• Disease
• Poverty
Examples of sudden threats:
• Accidents
• Calamities
• Crimes
The Concept of Security
• The concept of security exists at the micro level
as individual security.
• At the macro level it, exists in many forms. One of
which is NATIONAL SECURITY.
For the Philippines and the Filipino people, national
security is defined as “a state or condition wherein the
people’s welfare, well-being, ways of life; government
and its institutions; territorial integrity; sovereignty; and
core values are enhanced and protected.”
Broadly defined, national security is a collective term for
the defense and foreign relations of a country as well as
the protection of its interests.
Threats to National Security
• Sonia Gasilla Dela Cruz (2012), A threat to
national maybe defined as many expressions of
intuition to inflict evil such as injury or damage to
the citizenry, territories, and vital installations,
political, economic and religious way of life.
The 3 Pillars of National Security in the Philippines
First Pillar - Safeguarding the Philippines’ national unity,
its democracy, and its social institutions. All citizens share
one national identity regardless of their ethnic, religious,
cultural, and ideological orientations.
Second Pillar - Ensuring the security of the State and
preserving and protecting its sovereignty, territorial
integrity, and institutions. The following are provided for
in the Constitution:
• Definition of national territory (Art. I)
• Renunciation of war as an instrument of national
policy (Art. II, Sec. 2)
• Civilian supremacy over military (Art. II, Sec. 3)
• Role of the armed forces as protector of the
people and the State (Art. II, Sec. 3)
• Maintenance of peace and order, the protection
of life, liberty and property, and the promotion of
the general welfare (Art. II, Sec. 5)
• Pursuit of an independent foreign policy based on
national sovereignty and national interest (Art. II,
Sec. 7)
• Right to self-determination (Art. II, Sec. 7)
• Freedom from nuclear weapons (Art. II, Sec. 8)
•
Suspension of the writ of habeas corpus (Art. III,
Sec. 15)
• Concept of a citizen army (Art. XVI, Sec. 4)
Third Pillar
• Protection of properties, infrastructures and
keeping the people safe from all forms of threats,
both here and abroad, and to the extent possible,
creating jobs in order to bring back home
overseas Filipino workers.
Internal Environment

• Crime
• Corruption
• Patronage politics
Internal armed conflicts
• Rebellion
• Coup d’etat
Terrorism and transnational crimes
• Local and transnational terrorists
• Crime syndicates
Economic and social threats

Internal Threats
Initiated by different groups who opposed our
present system of our government such as:
Local Communists
a. The Communist Party of the Philippines/New
Peoples Army/National Democratic
Front(CPP/NPA/NDF). It was organized on Dec. 26,
1968 by Jose Maria Sizon with 67 student activist
HMB comes from HUKBALAHAP.
b. Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF)
Organized by Nuru Ladji Misuari with different
policy and ideology differences with MILF.
o Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) has
objective of establishing self determination
with the help of present administration and
became “BANGSAMORO”
o The draft Bangsamoro Basic Law, now House
Bill No. 4994, was submitted to Congress
during ceremonies held in Malacañan Palace
on September 10, 2014a plebiscite among the
people of the Bangsamoro.
o The Al-Harakat’ul Al-Islamiya (Islamic
Movement) or so called ABU SAYAF GROUP
(ASG)
Organized in early 90’s by the late Uztadz Abdujarak
Abubakar Janjalani, a religious scholar studied the Islamic
faith in Saudi Arabia, and became notorious as a terrorist
and criminal organization.
o Grave incidence of poverty and health problem
that we encounter also a serious threat such as
over population in our country and such a big risk
from virus.
External Environment
Overlapping territorial claims and maritime domain issues
• West Philippine Sea dispute
Global and regional geopolitical issues
• Mutual Defense Treaty with the United
States of America
• Rise of China as world’s second largest
economy
• ASEAN
• Japan
• Other Regional Players
Global uncertainties and proliferation of WMDs
• Increased global economic uncertainties
• Global security issues and the welfare of
OFWs
• Weapons of mass destruction
External Threats
Conflict posed primarily from other countries that
may affect a certain country politically, economically,
socially and even militarily.
a. The multilateral dispute over the Spratly and
Panatag/Scaborough Shore is a source of
intermittent tensions owing to building
structures, believed to be military-oriented by
some claimant countries in the area. This is a
clear into the Philippine Exclusive Economic Zone
(EEZ) which is being met through comprehensive
package of diplomacy measures.
b. The smuggling of firearms and contraband, illegal
migration and the occasional movement of
foreign terrorist through the porous borders of
our southwestern frontier have elicited
transnational crime activity.
c. Cybernetic crimes is growing global threat such as
hackers.
o Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) is
a threat global security. The booth
chemical and biological weapons has
made these weapons attractive to
terrorist and also added those nuclear
weapon.
o
Natural disaster and environment issues
will continue to pervade the global
agenda.

both public and private transportation
terminals and ports of the country.
NSTP and National Security
• Every responsible citizen has the capacity to
contribute to national security.
• NSTP provides students with knowledge, skills,
and values that can be used in pursuit of national
security.
• Every act that contributes to national security
contributes not only to your security but also to
the people who matter to you.
• ROTC graduates – shall become part of the AFP
Citizen Armed Forces and AFP Reserve Force
• CWTS and LTS graduates – shall become part of
the NSRC and will be tapped by the government
for civic welfare or literacy activities
All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good
men to do nothing.
• - Edmund Burke
Understanding Values of Peace
“Teaching how to develop a behavior that encourage
harmony in the way people talk, listen, and interact with
each other, discourage actions to hurt, harm or destroy
each other.” (Mc Conaghy 1986)
Creating Culture of Peace
The most significant way of promoting a culture
of peace through peace education needs to be accepted
in all parts of the world, in all societies and countries as
an essential element in creating a culture of peace to
meet effectively the challenges posed by the present
complexity of our time, the young of today deserved a
radically different education – “one that does not glorify
war but educates for peace non-violence and
international cooperation.” They need skills and
knowledge to create and nurture peace for their
individual selves as well as for would belong to. (Loreta
Navarro-Castro 2010)
STEPS OF NON-VIOLENT ACTION
1. Remain Calm and Gather Information:
In order to understand and articulate the issue or
problem facing you, you must first research,
investigate and gather vital information that will
increase your understanding of the problem.
Know all sides of the issue, including the other
person's position.
2. Education:
It is essential to inform others about your issues.
This minimizes misunderstandings, solidifies your
resolve and gains you support and assistance.
3. Personal Commitment:
Eliminate hidden motives and prepare yourself to
accept suffering, in necessary, in your quest to
solve the problem.
4. Negotiation:
Using grace, humor, intelligence, confront the
other party with a list of injustices and a plan for
resolving these wrongs.
Nonviolent communication does not seek to
humiliate, but to call forth the good in an
opponent. Control emotional outbursts--they
only compromise your strength and position.
5. Direct Action:
Used to morally force the opponent to work with
you in resolving the injustices. Direct action
imposes a "creative tension" into the conflict.
Most people will change their behavior once they
know that you are aware and determined to
make things right.
6. Reconciliation:
Nonviolence does not seek to defeat the
opponent, but to seek his/her understanding. It is
directed against evil systems, policies and acts,
not against persons.
7. Final Preparation:
Prepare yourself to live each day using techniques
of nonviolence. If ill will or physical harm
confronts you, protect yourself, vacate the
premises, but refrain from initiating harsh or
threatening language or violent reactions.
Promptly report unprovoked attacks to your
parents, teachers and law enforcement
authorities.
Stay Calm!
Role of the school promoting peace
• A commitment to make school a place of peace is
one of the ultimate challenges in education. The
present coming generation have been branded as
“lost generations”; our children are lost but
misguided by distorted values.
Literacy
noun
1. the ability to read and write.
2. competence or knowledge in a specified area.
3. Reading, writing, spelling, and decent grammar
are important. But these are not the only things
literacy is about.
Top 10 Literacies
1. Digital Literacy - Digital devices have permeated
every corner of our lives. A well-rounded
education must now include practical instruction
on the use of these tools
2. Media Literacy - A “media literate person can
adapt to new communication formats and choose
the most effective mode of communication in any
given situation.
3. Visual Literacy - The ability to comprehend – and
to create – videos, photos, infographics, and
other visuals has become essential as our
attention spans continue to shrink.
4. Data Literacy - Whether empowering students
and parents to analyze achievement metrics or
building the skills of teachers and administrators,
data literacy could lead to a sea change in
education.
5. Game Literacy - Believe it or not, video games are
linked to higher scores in math, reading, ad
science. Gamification is also on the rise, and
students with this fluency level up faster.
6. Health & Financial Literacy - When it comes to
health and financial literacy, simple rules of
thumb and just-in-time learning opportunities
have a big impact
7. Civic & Ethical Literacy - Civic literacy includes
awareness of citizenship duties. Ethical literacy
gets at the subtleties of conflicting values. These
fluencies are essential for future leaders.
8. News Literacy - We can no longer afford to take
“news” at face value. Rich news literacy learning
experiences should help students determine the
difference between fact and fiction.
9. Coding & Computational Literacy - The ability to
dream up a solution is as valuable as the ability to
code it. Not every kid will be a programmer, but
problem solving is a universal skill.
10. Foundational Literacy - No matter how far we
stretch the definition of literacy, the skills of
reading, writing, and meaning-making are still the
buiding blocks of this entire list,
•
•
CWTS and ROTC activities vary.
However, these activities can involve a literacy
component.
• For example, while conducting a community clean
up drive, students can educate school children
about waste segregation (environmental literacy).
Why Conduct a Literacy Program?
• The decision to conduct a literacy program can be
based on the needs of a community. This can be a
stand-alone literacy program or it could be part of
a bigger program.
• In the case of CWTS, conducting a Community
Needs Assessment can reveal problems like lack
of certain infrastructures/utilities/facilities,
unemployable community members, poor
community health, etc.
• Each problem identified provides an opportunity
for literacy. Sometimes it is not enough to just
provide for a community; it also helps to teach a
community so they can be independent even
after a project is completed.
• Helping others remains important. But teaching
others so that they can help themselves is more
meaningful. Literacy is the best way to
accomplish this.
Conducting a literacy program will:
• Provide you with real world experience that can
help with later employment or career goals
• Develop strong communication and leadership
skills
• Build confidence in your ability to make a
difference
•
Improve your knowledge of learning, studying,
and test-taking techniques
• Strengthen your awareness of resources available
in the community
• Allow you to network with individuals who are
passionate about service and education
A Major Clarification
• Literacy programs under LTS tend to be (1) longterm or (2) multiples of short-term programs.
• Literacy programs under CWTS and ROTC are
short-term and are supplementary to a main
program.
Planning and Organizing: Literacy Program
Step 1: Assemble a planning team
- These are the people who will be working
together on the project. This includes the people
making the project, specialists, and
representatives of the community.
Step 2: Assess the need
- This allows an objective analysis and evaluation of
the needs and problems of a community. There
are many methods for gathering information
about a community’s needs.
Step 3: Design a program to meet the need
- Specific programs can be designed around
identified needs. Many of these can have a
literacy component.
Important considerations for Step 3
- What literacy services will the program provide
and for whom?
- What entity will run the program?
- What are the program’s educational
assumptions?
• How will the program view students?
• What will take place in the classroom?
• Will the program be run by pros, volunteers,
or both?
- How will you evaluate the program?
- How will the program be funded?
How do you implement a short-term literacy program in
CWTS? = NSTP 2
Lesson Plan
• A very important tool in conducting literacy
programs is the lesson plan. It determines how
good the content of a literacy program is.
• A lesson plan is a useful tool for outlining the
structure of a tutorial, lecture, seminar, etc.
• It reminds you what you need to cover.
• It can be used to record your notes to remind you
about backup plans if things do not go as you
intended.
•
•
•
Lesson plan templates can vary depending on
whether the education being served is formal or
non-formal.
In the Philippines, DepEd and CHED prescribe
templates to teachers for uniformity. But this
only applies to formal education.
For non-formal education, there is no standard
template. Any template that effectively serves
the purpose of keeping track of how a lesson is
organized and is going to be conducted will do.
