 INTRODUCTION

The National Service Training Program (NSTP) is a Law otherwise known as Republic Act 9163 or
the NSTP Act of 2001, refers to the program aimed at enhancing civic consciousness and
defence preparedness in the youth, by developing their ethics of service and patriotism while
undergoing training in any of the three (3) program components, the Civic Welfare Training
Service (CWTS), the Literacy Training Service (LTS) and the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps
(ROTC), especially designed to enhance the youth’s active contribution to the general welfare,
with the goal to develop civic consciousness and national defence preparedness among the
Filipino Youth particularly those that enhance their total well-being as agents towards the
pursuit of national development.

focused on the immediate needs of their households, and who desire more sustainable and
socially constructive livelihood pathways. The challenge is to determine how to encourage us
youth and the community and help them us the relevant competencies and resources

 HISTORY OF BARANGAY NUEVA FUERZA, TAGUM CITY

Nueva Fuerza, a Barangay of Tagum City, whose early settlers in the barangay were coming
from Cebu and Bohol. It was the time were the place called “Bangka-banka-an” and after the
Second World War there was a Tenyente del Barrio in the named of Tenyente Roque Olivar.

The name Nueva Fuerza was derived from the Spanish term and interpreted by a native in the
barrio as “Bag-ong kusog”. This was also named by the former municipal Mayor Manuel
Suaybaguio. It was also that time, barangay Nueva Fuerza was created through a declaration
dated August 10, 1947.

With a total Land area of 616 hectares and is considered a rural barangay, with 4 puroks(as of
2004) and a total population of 1,512(as of 2007) and is 7 kilometers away from Tagum City and
can be reached thru the main transportation like pedicab and single motorcycle, Nueva Fuerza
has spring, deep well and elevated steeltanks as their water source and DANECO for electric
source, their fiesta is on May 18 and their araw celebration falls on December 5, and like any
other developing barangays in tagum, has facilities like Barangay Health Center, Barangay Hall,
Barangay Day Care Center (1 DCC with 1 DCW), Barangay Basketball Court, Barangay Covered
Court (On-going), Waiting shed, Elementary School, Chapel, Purok Centers/sheds, Barangay
Stage, H. E Building, Barangay Public Market, Barangay Multi-purpose pavement (dryer),
Proposed landfill area, and KALAHI Project Grantee.
These achievements cannot be reached but because of the endeavor of the members of the
community and as well as the barangay officials headed by Hon. Brgy. Capt. Willie Arcayna with
his Brgy. Kagawad, Hon. Hermie Pequero, Hon. Florencia Villarobia, Hon. Edgar Ramos, Hon.

 NARRATIVE

It was on January 23, 2016 that the group members with our NSTP Facilitator gathered in the
the school campus to start our activity in going to barangay Nueva Fuerza, all was well, hot and
steamy was the weather, everybody was excited. We traveled 7 kilometers to the brgy. There,
we were welcomed and greated warmly by the local community members, while our facilitator
gathered the necessary things to be used with some locals, a few of us took the liberty of taking
photo documents, as we all know it would come handy in the future, that is now. And while
others were busy, a few also had casual verbal interactions with a few locals on what to expect
in the activity. The activity for that day was on “How to make a Dishwashing Liquid”, ofcourse
our facilitator was well prepared with all the necessary ingredients in making a dishwashing
liquid, and it was shared to us that gathering those materials isn’t easy and doesn’t come in
retail sizes, but as consolation, our facilitator through her charm and cunningness she was able
to acquire such materials(please refer to our photo documentation for the materials used). The
procedure started with a prayer then to the main act, mixing the materials together, cooked.
Yes cooked! After the mixing together was done, empty bottles where provided and filled with
the finished product, it was sticky and concentrated. We were all able to acquire a sample of
the finished Dishwashing Liquid, It was Yellow! The fun times did not stopped there, you are
right, Food was served... and we all nourished our hungry souls, and now with knowledge and
physic fulfilled we are ready to go home with pure success lined up in our faces.

The next schedule of activity was dated January 30, 2016, with the same target barangay,
Barangay Nueva Fuerza, we where accustomed to the people there, this activity is focused on
“How to make Fabric Softener”, this activity is lead still by our ever wonderful NSTP Facilitator,
Miss Nelia Sanchez, the sun was up and shiny vigorously, it was hot. We than managed to travel
our way back to brgy. Nueva Fuerza for the said activity, yehey! Another set of knowledge for
us and for the community who participated, Materials(please refer to our photo documentation
for the materials used) ready, Its time to be indulged in the secrets of making a fabric softener,
wait, photo documents first, smile! Oh Yea! We got the pose alright, though some had no idea
they were captured on cam. Okey, Materials mixed together, and the cooking process begun,

-- NSTP 2 STUDENTS --
And it’s done! Hot hot hot liquid poured in a strainer to filter our large particles, and there it
is... the finished Fabric Softener, oh so sweet smelling liquid. Well anyway... as always the
activity didn’t end there, there was the eating part.. bread oh bread and juice, oh orange... and
after cleaning the area we headed our way back bringing with us another knowledge that can
change our lives for good.

Next Activity was, yehey, February 6, 2016, it was focused on Pot Holder Making Contest, Aye!
No Contest, but rather a very productive activity of making Pot Holder to avaoid burns while
transferring how stuff and also can be used as top cover for hot stuffs to minimize the damage
the heat can cause. Photo documentation was never forgotten of course, pitcure there, picture
here, oh pictures everywhere, it was a very educating experience on how to make such a useful
stuff like the Pot Holder, though it seems unimportant yet it serves a very usefull purpose that
can be used not just personally but also financially, and a wise marketing strategist knows this
that little acts or little stuffs is where the profit is especially to the useful ones. We had a great
day, we went home with another idea on how to generate income thru small stuffs like a Pot
Holder.

Another activity was made, and that was the bleach making, and yet another wonderful
experience we had, another knowledge we acquire that add up to the bulk of knowledge we
were able to have access to, it was on February 13, 2016, that the Bleach making was
conducted, we are so excited to see how it would turn out, and eventually it did turn out at its
best, and the secrets on how it is done was carefully introduced to us, and because of that we
are very thankful, and to call it a day, we were up with another snack party, and back to the
school we go.

Culmination day, February 20, 2016, It was the time to eat, and to say thanks, and to say our
hopes and shed tears to our fellow partners in the community of brgy. Nueva Fuerza, with their
support our program was a success, and we were able to share knowledge as well as acquire
one ourselves, it maybe the end for this semester’s activities in NSTP 2, but it will never be the
end of our journey in life to learn more and ofcourse use that knowledge for the good walfare
of our selves and of others around us.

 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PROGRAM

Livelihood development programming such as the NSTP initiated livelihood program refers to
interventions that enhance the readiness of young people to engage in sustainable livelihood
activities such as: (1) employment in the formal and informal sector; (2) contributions (paid and
unpaid) to household-based livelihood activities (in agriculture, fishing, or small scale
manufacturing); and, (3) self-employment micro-enterprise activities in areas such as petty
trading, the production of food or trade goods, and the delivery of informal services and thus
fall here the student oriented livelihood program of the NSTP 2.

Measuring significance of student oriented livelihood programming include improved

competencies or skills, enhanced income, increased employment/self-employment, and
improvements in the sustainability of new or existing economic activities. Increasingly, student
oriented livelihood programming is also shown to be a key driver of outcomes in other
development sectors such as improved health (including decreases in sexually-transmitted
infections and substance abuse), enhanced civil society engagement (including reduced crime
and violence or a decrease in extremism), improved social and economic opportunities for
young women (which is linked to later marriages and increased personal agency), or increased
investments in continuing education by young people and their families. Change in young
people’s contributions to household income has also been linked to changes in the ways
families prioritize spending on health and education for younger family members, including
dependent children.

Economic and youth development bodies like schools should apply more of these student
oriented livelihood program suggestions with a degree of humility, especially when these
programs target students. The major challenge faced by here is “do something” to give us
students a first step into the labor force. Rather, the challenge is to engage and support
students and as well as the community who are: 1) already economically active and focused on
the immediate need of household economic survival; and, 2) who desire more sustainable and
socially-constructive livelihood pathways. To meet immediate needs, this population often
turns to livelihood pathways that have a negative impact on society—pathways involving high

-- NSTP 2 STUDENTS --
risk activities (including commercial sex work), environmentally-damaging pursuits (such as
charcoal making), black market activities, crime, or linkages with extremist groups. Better
livelihoods for students could reduce or even eliminate their need to undertake harmful
livelihood activities.

Lastly, The challenge for student programs is not for outsiders to determine the type of
interventions that will engage and prepare us students for whatever the outsiders might see as
socially constructive and politically benign lifestyles. The challenge is to determine how to
encourage and induce students to organize ourselves and build on what we have in ways that
enable outsiders to help us acquire the relevant skills, competencies and resources that can
provide a foundation for enhancing our livelihoods and ultimately the livelihoods of others
within our communities.

 REACTION PAPER OF EACH MEMBER

Community Service is an important activity to an individual should embrace as they are growing
up.Many things I have experience regarding the NSTP2 that we conducted at Nueva Fuerza.
From tge beginning of the activities I have learned and experience a lot of things on how to
make a downy, dish wahing and Pot Holder and also these experience have been useful to me
bacause I've learned what are the ingredients and how to mix the ingredients.

This Community Service is important because this is the way to communicate other people, to
know each other and to do our activities as teamwork. Those help that we could making downy,
diswashing and so on it is also about sharing and loving especially the classmates, friends and
teachers. We share them not only material things also laughter and joy.

I feel very happy this subject taught me something that no one could take away from me. I can
never forget everything about it especially the camaraderie that I gained. I also learned to
exercise my patience in dealing with the people. I am glad to have this subject and I enjoyed
everything the teamwork and cooperation that we had done is to completing this community
service.
