THE three government agencies tasked to provide security for the nation were one in saying that the calls for the return of the mandatory Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) and the National Service Training Program (NTSP) for senior high school students will benefit the youth as it will help them prepare for any disaster and be instilled with discipline and patriotism.

The Philippine National Police Director for Operations MGen. Valeriano de Leon said it is an act of patriotism that would prepare the country for any threat to its sovereignty.
