Albayalde urged the government to correct old flaws to fine tune the bill that proposes the mandatory ROTC for Grades 11 and 12 in public and private schools. | CGonzalesINQ
The military and the PNP, after all, are not perfect organizations either, said Albayalde.
“Meron ring flaws [sa ROTC] na kailangan nating bantayan din ito. Baka bumalik din before ‘yung allegations na nagbabayad para macheck ‘yung attendance. May mga ganyan,” he said. Despite groups airing fears of abuse, President Rodrigo Duterte has earlier certified as urgent Senate Bill No. 2232, which mandates the “institutionalizing, development, training, organization, and administration” of basic ROTC for senior high school.If mandatory ROTC will be reinforced, Albayalde said it should be “professional” and “within the limits of the law.”
He, likewise, said that the Philippines, as a small country, needs to train reserve officers just like in other small countries in Asia.Albayalde said that the training will also develop the sense of patriotism and nationalism among the youth. “We should love our country, and this is one way of loving our country by defending it from… kahit ano mang maging external threat,” Albayalde said.
