Rotc backers to deal with hazing, corruption

CORPS commanders, senior reservist commanders and top military officials have vowed to actively address hazing and corruption in the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) even as they threw full support to President Rodrigo Duterte’s call for the restoration of the program.

In a national summit held at the Armed Forces of the Philippines headquarters in Camp Aguinaldo, in Quezon City, AFP Chief of Staff Gen. Eduardo Año on Wenesday said the military believes that it is time to bring back mandatory ROTC in schools to “ensure that the youth are shaped with a deep sense of patriotism and love for country.”
