Abstract :
This study aimed to investigate the perception
of students and parents regarding the implementation of
the Mandatory Basic Reserve Officers' Training Corps
(MBROTC) Program. Specifically, the study focused on
students' social development, disaster preparedness and
national security, and issues related to the program. A
descriptive research design was employed. Using quota
sampling, participants were 196 senior high school
students and 196 parents in Metro Manila, Philippines.
A researcher-made questionnaire was distributed online
and face-to-face which went through the process of
content validity and reliability. The findings revealed
that both students and parents agreed that the
MBROTC Program would effectively contribute to
social development, disaster preparedness and national
security. However, they expressed uncertainty regarding
its effectiveness in instilling patriotism and potential
risks to overall well-being. Additionally, parents agreed
that the program would enhance the country's ability to
respond to natural disasters and internal and external
threats but were unsure about its impact on a student's
mental well-being.Future research can explore the
reasons behind the uncertainty found in the results.
Understanding these reasons will inform policymakers
in refining the program, addressing concerns, and
fostering greater acceptance and support among
students and parents, ultimately ensuring the program's
successful implementation and achievement of its goals.
