I want to share this online link to you and like me, I want you to think about it even for a little while. (http://cnnphilippines.com/news/2016/11/12/ROTC-mandatory-bill-K-12.html)

In the article, the Commission on Higher Education said to have been studying whether or not the ROTC should be revived for secondary level students.

In our recently concluded lesson on the topic of Assessment; proper alignment of principles are very debatable in many sides. I just want to take the ROTC subject as an example of the importance of instilling principles to students. This is not just a required physical training that every student should pass and survived to, but also a big concept of discipline. A person with a sense of nationalism will be better equipped in giving service to others when he/she is much aligned to the concept of serving his/her country– which I believe is not just body strength, but also mind power.
