the national defense act (historical basis)

In the evolution of the country’s Citizen Army concept, it started as a dream of the late President
Manuel L. Quezon in the 1930s for which the program was based on the principle that:

“A NATION OF TRAINED MEN READY TO DEFEND THEIR COUNTRY HAS THE LASTING RESPECT OF ITSELF
AND OF THE WORLD,” on the other hand,

“A NATION OF HELPLESS CITIZENS CAN EXPECT NOTHING BUT SLAVERY AT HOME AND CONTEMPT
ABROAD.”

President Quezon’s first act upon his term of Presidency of the Common-wealth Philippines, as prepared
and implemented by his Military Adviser, Gen. Douglas MacArthur, was the NATIONAL DEFENSE ACT
(Commonwealth Act No. 1) which was passed in the National Assembly on 21 December 1935. Since
those time it has become the implementing law governing the Citizen Army concept.

Let us cite pertinent provisions of this Act:

1. TITLE I, NATIONAL DEFENSE

ARTICLE I Policy
“Section 2 (a). The preservation of the State is the obligation of every citizen, the security of the
Philippines and the freedom, independence and perpetual neutrality of the Philippine Republic shall be
guaranteed by the employment of all citizens, without distinction of age or ***, and all resources.”

ARTICLE II Employment of Persons and Resources

“Section 3. Military service shall be obligatory for all citizens of the Philippines, and the methods and
procedures for the classification, selection, examination, induction, training, and release of all citizens
from their military obligations shall be as prescribed in Title III of this Act.”

2. TITLE III, MILITARY SERVICE

ARTICLE I Obligation to Serve and Length of Service

“Section 51. All Filipinos are liable to military service.”

During those time, the President Quezon urged that military education must begin from early
adolescence so as to attain the objective of establishing national strengths through the development of
a militarily prepared citizenry. The above principle is stated in the following provision of this Act:

TITLE III, MILITARY SERVICE

ARTICLE I Obligation to Serve and Length of Service

“Section 52. The obligation to undergo military training shall begin with the youth in school,
commencing at the age of ten years, and shall extend through his schooling until he shall reach the age
of twenty-one years when he shall become subject to service with the Colors. If at eighteen to twenty-
one years of age the youth is not attending any school or college, he shall enter the junior reserve
subject to exemptions prescribed in section eighty-seven of this Act. The training which he may undergo
prior to the calendar year in which he attains twenty-one years of age shall be termed as “Preparatory
Military Training.”

“All school girls shall receive instruction and training as the Chief-of-Staff may deem necessary for
auxiliary service.”

Thus, from this provision, it gave birth to the present CITIZEN ARMY TRAINING program. The above
provision set the guidelines in the conduct of the CAT Program.
