Where We Stand
We Serve Those
Serving Our Nation
Laang Kawal Partylist represents the aspirations of Filipino reservists – the "Laang Kawal" and their families toward an organized, well-trained, and well-supported Reserve Force.
Legislation
Modernize Reserve Force Law
We champion the review and revision of Republic Act 9163 (National Service Training Program) and Republic Act 7077 (Citizen Armed Forces of the Philippines Reservist Act) to ensure its relevance and responsiveness to the evolving security landscape.
Strengthen NSTP Implementation
We advocate for the effective implementation of Republic Act 9163 (National Service Training Program), ensuring that all graduates of CWTS, LTS, and ROTC are all trained and utilized as bonafide reservists in accordance to their areas of competencies.
National Security
Enhance Reserve Force Capabilities
We advocate for increased funding towards enhanced, expanded, and sustained training, equipage, and insurance during deployment of reservists and similar force multiplier volunteer groups.
Establish Regional Mobilization Centers
We support the establishment of mobilization centers across the country to improve the efficiency and responsiveness to calls of duty of the Reserve Force during local and national emergencies.
Promote Strategic Recruitment and Training
We support programs that encourage youth to join the Reserve Force and provide them with relevant skills and training which can benefit them even in their civilian professional and entrepreneurial endeavors.
Reservist Welfare
Guarantee Reservist Employment Rights
We shall pursue the finalization and promulgation of the Reservists Employment Rights Act (RERA) to ensure that reservists are protected from employment discrimination while on active duty training (ADT) as mandated by Section 32 of RA 7077.
Comprehensive Welfare Programs: We advocate for comprehensive medical and life insurance coverage for reservists during their ADT and in the course of their deployment.
Livelihood Support
We support the development of livelihood programs to assist reservist families during periods of deployment or training.
Equal Access to Services: We strive to ensure that reservists have access to the same services and benefits as regular service personnel.
