SEN. Francis “Tol” Tolentino pressed for the retention of mandatory basic military and police training for all senior students at collegiate and technical vocational institutions.
As proposed, the enabling legislation requires that before graduation at private or public higher schools and technical vocational institutions, potential recruits should undergo two years of basic military and police anti-crime training programs where they will also be taught to respond in case of war, crime, accidents, calamity, local and national emergency.
Moreover, it provides free service in government facilities in case of accidents in the midst of military and police training, as well as access and privileges in the AFP and PNP commissary and PX stores.
