Halfway through Ocean Month, we are reminded of a growing crisis we can no longer ignore: plastic waste. Its production has become so widespread that we often lose sight of where it ends up after disposal.

More than 9 billion tons have been produced since the 1950s, and that number has doubled over the past 50 years. Much of this persists where our natural resources are found—on land, in rivers, and in our oceans.

At current rates, the amount of plastic entering the ocean is projected to significantly increase in the coming years. By 2050, plastic in the ocean could rival or even exceed the total weight of fish.

This is not just a single waste issue; it is a reminder that we need to act and take a stand against plastic. Reducing plastic use, improving waste management, and shifting to sustainable alternatives must become part of our everyday choices and collective responsibility.

In celebration of the 16th Kepiyaan Festival, the Indigenous Peoples Youth Congress Year 2 was successfully conducted on April 19, 2026 at the La Breeza Function Hall, Caburan Small, Jose Abad Santos, Davao Occidental.

Spearheaded by the Local Youth Development Office in partnership with JCI Davao Gulf, the activity served as a meaningful platform in empowering the Indigenous Peoples youth through leadership development, cultural appreciation, environmental awareness, and community engagement.

The success of the congress was made possible through the valuable knowledge and expertise shared by the resource speakers from the Philippine Eagle Foundation, Provincial Youth Development Office, Philippine National Police, Municipal Social Welfare and Development Office, Municipal Health Office and the 73rd Infantry Battalion Bravo Company. Their insightful discussions inspired the youth to become proactive leaders and advocates of positive change within their respective communities.

The event was graced by Municipal Mayor, Atty. Jason John A. Joyce and Provincial Board Member, Jomarie “Malik” Olarte, whose presence and support further strengthened the commitment towards youth empowerment and Indigenous Peoples development.

As part of the 16th Kepiyaan Festival celebration, the congress highlighted the importance of preserving cultural identity while nurturing the leadership potential of the next generation.
