The ROTC program has served the country well since its creation. It has trained thousands of young men and women in the defense of our country. The youths have graduated from its camps with a stronger patriotism. The program has produced fine officers who have fought numerous wars against foreign invaders, communists guerillas, Moro secessionist and savage terrorist.
