Senator Imee Marcos said the mandatory ROTC runs counter with United Nations resolution 1261, which “strongly condemns” the “recruitment and use of children in armed conflict,” among others. Read:

“Ang thinking ko, hindi naman kailangang maging sundalo para makita na mahal mo ang Pilipinas,” she said.

President Duterte wants to reintroduce ROTC as a compulsory course for Grades 11 and 12 students, but some groups say the cadet course would only be teaching students the power of the gun. INQUIRER FILE PHOTO “Maganda nga pag umpisahan sa elementary. Kasi yo’ng values formation ng kabataan ay kapag maliit, di ba habang maliit 9 to 12 [years old] daw—‘yan sabi ng mga child psychologists—nahuhulma at nabubuo yo’ng values. Do’n natin ipasok talaga nang puspusan ang patriotism, ang ating nationalism,” Marcos said.“Pagkatapos ituloy-tuloy natin hanggang highschool at wag papayagan yung military element na maging choice hanggang nasa tertiary na,” she added.

Training laang po yun Senadora. Hindi naman sila isasabak sa giyera at hindi naman yun recruitment. They are still students during the training.

ROTC is merely a basic preparatory military training, not a military recruitment program!

While I dislike her, i agree with her stand.

Wrong interpretation

Hey ang bobo.

ROTC does not mean active enlistment to the army, obviously di mo inalam ang acronyms ng ROTC. Kung mahal mo talaga ang Pilipinas, imee, kumbinsihin mo ang kuya't nanay mo na ibalik lahat ng ninakaw ng pamilya mo, tapos magexile kayo paalis ng pinas.

Gaya gaya lang😠para mapansin😀

Sen Imee, hindi ibig sabihin na kapag may mandatory ROTC ay sasapi na sila sa militar. Ang ROTC cadets ay hindi lumalaban sa giyera laban komunista. Pagka graduate nila ay meron silang option kung saan sila magta-trabaho. Ang ROTC ay training lang.

Career ending move

Rotc is better than having our kids play dota all day

maganda po yung ginawa ni Matteo Guidicelli nagtrain sya for 6mos ata, atlis may kaalaman sya at kung sakaling may pumasok na turistang katulad ng ISIS, kaya ng mga Pilipinong lumaban di naman kailangang maging pulis lahat ng mga pinoy tamang training lang. view ko lang po yan.😇
