The echoes of Duty, Honor, and Country once again resonated through the halls of the Department of Military Science and Tactics (DMST) Complex as the UP Diliman Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (UPD ROTC) officially commenced its Military Science 2 (MS2) course on 17 February 2024.
Basic ROTC
Throughout the semester, the UP Diliman ROTC MS1 program equipped cadets with a diverse array of knowledge and skills essential for their development as future reservists. From delving into Military Customs and Traditions to understanding the intricacies of Cybersecurity, each topic served to instill in them a deeper understanding of their roles as cadets and Filipino citizens.
As another semester unfolds, we celebrate yet another milestone for the UP Diliman ROTC (UPD ROTC) Unit.

After more than two years of online and remote instruction, UP Diliman finally reopens its face-to-face ROTC training to its cadets. An opening program for the ROTC Military Science 2 (ROTC Mil Sci 2) was held at the Department of Military Science and Tactics (DMST) Complex last 18 February 2023.
Against all odds and amidst the pandemic, the University of the Philippines Diliman Reserve Officers’ Training Corps Unit (UPD ROTCU) celebrated the completion of Basic ROTC and Cadet Officer Candidate Course (COCC) 71-B for Academic Year 2020-2021 through a joint graduation ceremony held last 02 July 2021.
COCC Batch 71-A was henceforth the “pandemic batch”. Over Zoom video teleconference, these aspiring leaders were interviewed one by one. There, they were tested on their determination and asked the question, “Are you sure you want to become a cadet officer?” It was a heavy one.
