“Pasulong, kad!”, commands the corps commander and there goes the battalion marching, looking good and snappy as they conquer the big field. But wait, ROTC is not just all marching and military training, they also give focus on theories and allot time for lectures every Saturday. Other activities of ROTC include the annual Presentation of Sponsor (POS) which creates a venue for cadet officers to socialize with their partners, Field Day which promotes teamwork and camaraderie among cadets, the Acquaintance and Christmas Parties to strengthen the bond between them and, Camp Tours which give cadets opportunities to visit the camp sites of the Philippine Army here in the province and give them first-hand experiences like actual rifle firing.
