University Holds NSTP Orientation
August 16, 2026 โ Earlier today, Northern Iloilo State University (NISU) in Concepcion conducted its National Service Training Program (NSTP) Orientation, gathering first-year students from various departments and NSTP components.
The orientation aims to inform students about the NSTP, including its three components: Civic Welfare Training Service (CWTS), Reserve Officersโ Training Corps (ROTC), and Literacy Training Service (LTS), as well as their class schedules, prescribed attire, and responsibilities.
The activity was held at the Concepcion Municipal Auditorium and was spearheaded by NSTP Coordinator Dr. Denro B. Macario, 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 served as facilitators during the program.
In her message, Mrs. Alerta emphasized the importance of discipline, leadership, volunteerism, and patriotismโvalues that students must embody to become agents of positive social change and effective citizens.
The orientation proper was divided into three segments. Dr. Macario discussed an overview of the NSTP, while Ms. Dajay presented the policies on attendance and proper uniforms. Dr. Rivera, meanwhile, discussed the class schedules, venues, and tasks expected of the students.
In her closing remarks, Dajay reminded the freshmen that growth comes with responsibility and selflessness. โRemember that part of your growth as college students is learning to show up, to fulfill your responsibilities, and to contribute even indi sya permi convenient sa aton,โ Dajay said.
After the orientation, the students returned to the campus to begin cleaning their assigned areas.
