On 20 February 2026, the ROTC program successfully conducted its Sixth Training Day for the Second Semester, focusing on the familiarization of the M-16 rifle and the proper safety handling associated with it. The session, guided by SSg Voltaire D Manalo PAF and was attended by the Advance Officers and Basic Cadets/Cadettes of Alpha Centauri Educational System Inc. (ACES).

The training emphasized the importance of understanding the basic functions of the M-16 rifle not for aggression, but for responsibility, discipline, and safety. Cadets were taught proper handling procedures, including safe positioning, awareness of surroundings, and respect for the equipment at all times. Learning the parts and functions of the rifle helped instill accountability and reinforced the mindset that fi****ms are tools that must be handled with caution and professionalism.

As future law enforcers, gaining knowledge of firearm safety and functionality is essential. Understanding how the M-16 operates prepares cadets to act with competence and control in situations where responsibility and sound judgment are required. More than technical familiarity, the training highlighted the values of discipline, restraint, and duty and qualities vital in maintaining peace and protecting the community.

Meanwhile, the Advance Officers were simultaneously undergoing a 3-minute drill evaluation for an upcoming event, preparing them to respond effectively in unexpected situations.

Through this activity, cadets were reminded that true strength lies not in the weapon itself, but in the knowledge, responsibility, and integrity of the one who carries it.

On 13 February 2026, the ROTC program successfully conducted its Fifth Training Day for the Second Semester, highlighting leadership dynamics inspired by the systems and structure of the Philippine Air Force (PAF). The session was led by SSg Raymond B Guiriba PAF for the Advance Officers and Basic Cadets/Cadettes of Alpha Centauri Educational System Inc. (ACES).

The discussion reflected various leadership styles applied in military formation and development. Autocratic leadership was evident during drills and formations where clear authority and direct commands ensured discipline and order. Bureaucratic leadership was demonstrated through adherence to established protocols, structured attendance, and formal procedures aligned with military standards.

At the same time, diplomatic leadership surfaced in discussions that encouraged respect, cooperation, and unity among cadets. Participative leadership was observed as cadets were engaged in learning through interaction and shared responsibility during activities. Meanwhile, free-rein leadership allowed advance officers to take initiative and demonstrate independent decision-making within guided supervision.

Through these leadership approaches, the training reinforced not only discipline but also adaptability, teamwork, and the evolving role of future reservists in service and leadership.
