🏛️✨ 𝐔𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐆𝐔𝐍𝐈𝐀𝐍𝐆 𝐊𝐀𝐁𝐀𝐓𝐀𝐀𝐍: 𝐄𝐌𝐏𝐎𝐖𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐓𝐇 𝐓𝐎 𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐃!
As part of the Sangguniang Kabataan Linggo ng Kabataan 2026, the youth of Barangay Sto. Niño, Magallanes, Agusan del Norte took part in an engaging and meaningful talk session entitled “Understanding the Sangguniang Kabataan,” facilitated by Vincent P. Baclayon.
The session provided the participants with a deeper understanding of the Sangguniang Kabataan (SK), including its history, roles, functions, responsibilities, and other important information about youth governance. The discussion also introduced the Comprehensive Barangay Youth Development Plan (CBYDP) and the Annual Barangay Youth Investment Program (ABYIP), emphasizing their importance in planning and implementing programs that respond to the needs and aspirations of the youth.
The participants were also introduced to the 10 Centers of Youth Participation, helping them understand the different areas where youth programs and initiatives can be developed and strengthened. 💙
But the learning did not stop with discussion! 🙌
Vincent P. Baclayon also facilitated a hands-on ABYIP Workshop, where the participants were challenged to step into the shoes of an SK Council. For the activity, they worked together as if they were the actual council, identified youth needs and priorities, proposed programs and activities, and created their own ABYIP.
Through this workshop, the youth were given a glimpse of what it takes to become an effective youth leader—from identifying community needs to planning programs, allocating resources, and making decisions for the benefit of their fellow young people.
✨ Leadership is not only about knowing how to lead—it is also about knowing how to plan, listen, decide, and serve.
Daghang salamat to all the youth participants who actively engaged, shared their ideas, and embraced the challenge of becoming young leaders in action! 💙🇵🇭
