3. MGA UTOS SA PATIKAS AT PAGMASID NG SEREMONYA (COMMANDS FOR PARADE AND REVIEW) Note: Maybe, the main difference in the way we did it in the UP ROTC was that there was less subservience as we regarded it an honor to train UP Cadets whom we highly regarded for having entered UP which was very exclusive at that time.
