components namely, Reserved Officers Training Course or ROTC, Civic Welfare

physical, spiritual, intellectual, and social well being. It shall inculcate in the
youths patriotism, nationalism, and advance their involvement in public and civic
affairs.

nation shall be motivated, trained, organized and mobilized military training,
literary, civic welfare and other similar endeavors in the service of nation.
