Several senators on Friday voiced support for calls to drop the proposed revival of the mandatory Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) following the hazing death of Adamson University student
“Scrap the bill making ROTC mandatory,” Senate Minority Leader Aquilino Pimentel III told reporters, adding that it should just be “optional” to those who want to pursue a military career.
Besides, Villanueva said Congress had passed two laws—the National Service Training Program Act of 2001 and the GMRC and Values Education Act of 2017—to instill discipline among Filipino youth. “It’s so hard to understand, align and reconcile love of country with a training course that is flawed to the core. It’s also hard to explain why the supposed ‘tradition of discipline’ accounts for a long list of hazing cases,” Binay said.
