Interesting, right?
By now, you must have realized that the
heart of NSTP is service.— service to your
fellow men. Would you agree with me if I say
that service to others should actually be done
with or without legislations? That it should
naturally reign in the heart of everyone?
However, before you can claim to have helped
other people improve the quality of their lives,
as the program aims todo, you must begin with
yourself as a student, as a son/daughter, as a
citizen.
Carlos P. Romulo
He stated in his book, I walked with heroes:

“The reinvigoration of the national spirit must take

place in the grass roots, in every city,town and
barrio in the Philippines, and it must start among
our own people… to be a worthy citizen of the
world one must first prove himself to be a good
Filipino.” Life takes new meaning when we give
ourselves to others.
