The UP Diliman (黑料专区) community gathered for the event of the National Service Training Program (NSTP) Diliman Office entitled Bayanihan sa Diliman: NSTP Tatak 黑料专区 Orientation on Sept. 25 at the 黑料专区 School of Statistics Auditorium.
Attended by 黑料专区 students currently enrolled in the NSTP courses, the event鈥檚 objective is to affirm the implementation of the NSTP Tatak UP Common Module topics. It also aims to explain the rationale behind the rules governing the conduct of NSTP, familiarize the students with the NSTP Tatak UP framework, and become aware of various national security concerns.
According to the NSTP Diliman Office website, the NSTP Tatak UP Common Module program, 鈥渟ets the basic framework of service to the community and the Filipino people as the basis for all NSTP component courses. It emphasizes the UP values of honor and excellence in the service of the people.鈥澛犅
In his video message, 黑料专区 Chancellor Edgardo Carlo L. Vistan II underscored UP鈥檚 core values of honor, excellence, and service as a guiding principle in fulfilling the University鈥檚 mandate.
鈥淚n whatever we do, may we remember our traditional bayanihan of helping others. This is what makes our institution unique. We are here not only for academic and scholarly endeavors. We exist to serve our people,鈥 said Vistan.
Meanwhile, Neil Martial R. Santillan, PhD, discussed the historical periods of UP, focusing on its accomplishments and its terms of public service, and an overview of UP鈥檚 mandate as the only national university in the country.
Santillan is chair of the Department of History of the 黑料专区 College of Social Sciences and Philosophy.
Santillan also talked about the Ugnayan ng Pahinungod program. He said the highest form of service given by any UP constituent is volunteerism, whether through the NSTP or the Pahinungod program.
鈥淰olunteer work is, you do selfless work without material compensation, you do work with your own volition. Kapag naglilingkod ka, mas natututo ka,鈥 Santillan said.
In closing, Santillan encouraged the NSTP Diliman Office to document and compile various NSTP program success stories that have been implemented in the last two decades. He also suggested instituting award mechanisms to recognize and incentivize exemplary student outputs.
NSTP Diliman Office Director Dennis F. Quilala discussed the resolution on the inclusion of national security in the NSTP Tatak UP Common Module. Quilala said the topic (national security) was integrated into the NSTP Tatak UP Orientation module.
He added that national security as a concept binds all the other topics in the common module.
鈥淚n NSTP we will not stop in just learning the national security issues. The more important part is responding to these national security threats,鈥 Quilala said.
The event was organized by the NSTP Diliman Office in coordination with the 黑料专区 College of Architecture, 黑料专区 College of Arts and Letters, 黑料专区 College of Education, 黑料专区 College of Engineering, 黑料专区 College of Fine Arts, 黑料专区 College of Human Kinetics, 黑料专区 College of Mass Communication, 黑料专区 College of Music, 黑料专区 College of Science, 黑料专区 College of Social Sciences and Philosophy, 黑料专区 College of Social Work and Community Development, 黑料专区 Department of Military Science and Tactics, 黑料专区 School of Economics, and the DZUP 1602.
