Amelita Chua, mother of slain Mark Welson Chua, says there are little to no discussions on why mandatory ROTC was stopped in the first place.
MANILA, Philippines – It was a fine Thursday afternoon over two decades ago when Mark Welson Chua, 19 years old back then, told his mother Amelita that he would expose corruption in their Reserve Training Officers Training Corps program in their campus publication.
It’s been over two decades ago but Amelita could still vividly remember how the news about Mark’s demise shattered their family’s hearts and dreams for their son.We never thought that it was going to happen,” Amelita said. “Kung nabubuhay pa siya, baka successful siya na engineer. At one point, he said gusto niyang maging presidente ng Pilipinas.Mark grew up with his grandparents since his parents were separated. But Amelita said that despite their family situation, Mark would always make sure that he would visit her.
Amelita said that much of the discussions now are too focused on pushing to make ROTC mandatory again, and there have been little to no discussions on why it was stopped in the first place.Ang always nilang sinasabi, ibabalik ang ROTC, i-a-abolish ang ROTC.
