A left-leaning student group on Wednesday denounced the return of a mandatory Reserve Officers’ Training Course (ROTC) for Senior High School (Grades 11 and 12) students. “The students stood up against the ROTC program. He said it is foolish to think that ROTC through the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) can teach nationalism. “The ROTC through the AFP can never instill genuine love for the country. What love for the country can the AFP teach when they are the ones who welcome the re-occupation of foreign entities in the Philippines?” Rosos added.
