The inspired group led the production of improvised rain catchers in Subangdaku, Mandaue City and organized enhancement seminars to youths through the support of Y

oung Minds Academy of the Ramon Aboitiz Foundation, Inc. It also launched the Bb. Kalikasan pageant for youth’s active involvement on environmental conservation.

Today, YABE is a non-stock, campaigning youth organization that empowers, enlightens and engages young individuals in Mandaue City towards community development.
