UP Diliman ROTC Unit

The University of the Philippines ROTC Unit is one of the pioneers of the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps in the Philippines. A brainchild of Field Marshall Douglas MacArthur, the conception of the very first citizen army was made through the creation of Commonwealth Act No. 1, also known as the “National Defense Act”. With the activation of the UP ROTC Unit, several State and Private Universities-Colleges soon followed, activating various ROTC units under the Army of the Philippine Commonwealth.

UP Diliman ROTC is under the operational supervision of 1302nd Community Defense Center, NCR Regional Community Defense Group, Army Reserve Command, Philippine Army.
