Northern Iloilo State University (NISU) in Concepcion officially commenced its National Service Training Program (NSTP) for Academic Year 2026–2027 earlier today, bringing together all enrolled NSTP students for their first day of activities.
The program began with an orientation at the Concepcion Municipal Auditorium, where students were introduced to the National Service Training Program and its three components: Civic Welfare Training Service (CWTS), Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC), and Literacy Training Service (LTS). The orientation also covered class schedules, prescribed attire, attendance policies, and the responsibilities expected of students throughout the program.
The activity was spearheaded by NSTP Coordinator Dr. Denro B. Macario, together with NSTP implementers Dr. Brandon P. Rivera and Ms. Allyson Jade O. Dajay, with the support of Mrs. Glaiza B. Alerta, CPA, OIC Campus Administrator. Members of the National Service Reserve Corps (NSRC) also assisted as facilitators during the activity.
In her message, Mrs. Alerta emphasized the importance of discipline, leadership, volunteerism, and patriotism, encouraging students to develop these values as they prepare to become responsible citizens and agents of positive change in their communities.
During the orientation proper, Dr. Macario provided an overview of the NSTP, while Ms. Dajay discussed policies on attendance and proper uniforms. Dr. Rivera, meanwhile, oriented the students on their respective class schedules, venues, and expected tasks.
In her closing remarks, Dajay reminded the students that NSTP is more than a course requirement—it is an opportunity to develop a deeper sense of responsibility and service.
“Indi lang ni siya something nga gina-ubra para lang i-impose sa inyo. This is part of developing the discipline expected of you as students of Northern Iloilo State University,” Dajay emphasized.” Dajay said.
Following the orientation, the students returned to the NISU in Concepcion campus and proceeded to their designated areas for a campus-wide clean-up, putting into practice the spirit of service and shared responsibility introduced during the day's orientation.
The first day marks the beginning of a semester-long NSTP journey aimed at developing students who are not only academically prepared but also disciplined, socially responsible, and ready to serve their communities and the nation.
