Central Philippine University (CPU), through the National Service Training Program (NSTP), conducted a Lecture-Demonstration and Return-Demonstration on Disaster Preparedness and First Aid on October 4, 2025, participated in by students from both the Civic Welfare Training Service (CWTS) and Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) programs.

The activity aimed to strengthen students’ awareness, readiness, and practical response skills during emergencies. The initiative also encouraged the value of volunteerism and civic responsibility, core aspects of NSTP training that prepare students to become proactive members of their communities in times of need.
