Will making the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) mandatory cure mental health issues of students? Doctors didn’t think so.

“‘Yun ang pagkakaiba po sa NSTP , ang experience training talaga pong naisasapuso niya po ang lahat ng ginagawa niya. ‘Yung survival instinct nandoon. So ‘yung sinasabi nating mental problem, it can be cured, kasi ‘yung frustration tolerance ng tao, tataas,”Galvez made the statement to compare the ROTC program with the NSTP, which critics have been lobbying to be implemented instead of what they called “added burden” military service training.

“Meron po siyang makukuhang experience na ‘Bakit ako naghihimutok eh ganito ‘yung nakikita natin na mas malala pa pala yung ginagawa ng ibang tao.’ Meaning, ‘yung mental ano pwede siyang ma-cure,”Mental health advocate Dr. Gia Sison said that forcing ROTC may be “more detrimental to one’s mental health.”The hearing, convened by the Senate Committee on Higher, Technical, and Vocational Education, was joined by officials from the Department of National Defense.

Dela Rosa, a staunch advocate and sponsor of the ROTC bill in the Senate, supported Galvez’ statement saying that youth nowadays should be toughened to raise their tolerance level in difficult times.President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. included mandatory ROTC among his priority agenda in his first State of the Nation Address, as Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte also pushed for this proposal.

The Vice President’s support for mandatory ROTC has been met with criticism, with activist groups saying compulsory military service sends a strong message that “any dissent will be met with force.”

My expirience with ROTC in 1990, a complete waste of time. Standing in formation, marching and not learning combat. The game counterstrike and airsoft is more educational and useful in combat

Haha! 🤣🤣🤣

He should talk of issues within his area of expertise and shut up in other areas.

born 70's kabalbalan ang rotc

another asinine logic

HAHAHAHA.. GALVEZ OR GALVANIZED? HAHAHA

Dapat ata yun mga opisyal ng gobyerno at mga senador nanagsusulong ng ROTC ang dapat mag undergo ng training kasi mukhang tanga na yun mga pinagsasabi. Lahat ng bagay dinadala sa bara-bara reasoning, para si Tatay lang kahit wala sa hulog basta sinabi dapat masunod.

I don't need training to fight for our country if the China attacks PH. I will pickup arms & fight them for our future.

Ang maayos na Gobyerno may malasakit sa pag-unlad ng antas ng edukasyon ng mga kabataan hindi pinahihirapan at inaabuso. Kung sakali man mapunta ulit sa karahasan ang mandatory ROTC, handa bang managot si BATO at SARA DUterte? Tama na ang pahirapan para sa DIPLOMA!

Doctor quack quack na may baril
