Republic Act 9163 otherwise known as the “National Service Training Program or the NSTP” was implemented by the University of the Philippines Baguio (UPB) recognizing the vital role of youth in nation building. The law required tertiary level students to take the program, as it aims to enhance civic consciousness and defense preparedness through three program components designed and formulated for training, and motivating the youth to be involved in different welfare programs and other service-oriented activities in the service of the nation.
