  • To meet the increasing demand for vocational education in the whole province, the trade school was transferred on June 7, 1931, to Cabanatuan City. Enrolment increased; however, the program was interrupted in December 1941 by the outbreak of the Second World War in the Pacific.
  • Immediately after the war, the trade school was reopened on September 6, 1945, Rehabilitation program took place. The trade school continued with its mission of meeting the vocational and manpower needs of students coming from both Nueva Ecija and the nearby provinces. On June 8, 1948, a course in dressmaking was opened and female students were admitted to the School. A few years later, food trades and cosmetology courses were also offered.
  • The National Service Training Program (NSTP) started when Commonwealth Act No. 1, otherwise known as the “National Defense Act”, was passed into a law. It is an act to provide for the () of the Philippines penalizing certain violations, appropriating funds therefore, and for other purposes under the government of President Manuel L. Quezon (1935).
  • On August 8, 1980, the amendment of Commonwealth Act No. 1 gave existence to Presidential Decree No. 1706, also known as the “National Service Law”. It mandates compulsory national service from all the citizens of the Philippines. It is divided into three main component programs namely: Civic Welfare Service (CWTS), Law Enforcement Service (LES) and Military Service (MS).
  • The implementation of the National Service law was suspended by the Presidential Memorandum Order No. 1 of Late President Corazon C. Aquino briefly after the ouster of Marcos. They changed it to Basic Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC), effective school year 1986-1987.
  • In the year 1991, the Basic ROTC Course was modified to Expanded ROTC Program through the Implementing Rules and Regulation of Republic Act No 7077. They modified it so college students will take military subjects in the first curriculum year and choose among the following components (Military Training Service, Civic Welfare Service, and Law Enforcement Service) in the second-year curriculum.
  • On March 18, 2001, a floating corpse wrapped in a carpet was found on the Pasig River. Their hands were bound and the face was wrapped with packing tape. That body was identified as Mark Welson Chua. He was 19-year-old engineering student of University of Santo Tomas (UST). The death of this cadet, who was reported to be a victim of illegal ROTC practices, led to an unexpected massive protest among college students together with their concerned parents who are against the ROTC Program.
  • The scandals and controversies led them to a proposal to change the Expanded ROTC Program into “National Service Program”. However, another proposal was created before the National Service Program was able to prosper. The proposal is what we know now as the National Service Training Program (NSTP).
  • NSTP is signed into law on January 23, 2002, and the implementation of this Act commenced in the school year of 2002-2003.
