A day of learning, reflection, and strengthened commitment to our shared mission unfolded last May 28, 2026 as we welcomed the National Steering Committee (NSC) and the Project Technical Review Committee (PTRC) under the UNDP Global Environment Facility Small Grants Programme (SGP-7) for their site visitation and monitoring.
The activity became more meaningful as it gathered passionate youth leaders and environmental advocates from across Catubig and Las Navas including LinisSiklab Matelarag, Green Lumalaog Youth Connect, CUYAโESCRSD, Catubig Youth for a Green and Sustainable Future, Del Pilar Las Navas (Del Pilar Eco Guard Organization), Community Organized for Responsible and Empowered, Y Green Warriors, and Brgy. Opong Youth Camp Organization. The presence of the Catubig Business Councilor and the Municipal Local Government Operations Officer further highlighted the importance of collaboration between youth and local governance in advancing sustainability goals.
More than a monitoring activity, the visit served as a powerful reminder that collective action fuels real change. Stories were shared, progress was recognized, and future directions were strengthened, all rooted in the vision of responsible stewardship, climate resilience, and sustainable community development. Together, we continue to prove that empowered youth and supportive institutions can transform communities and protect what matters most for generations to come.
