𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐖𝐚𝐞𝐥 𝐁. 𝐎𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐢, 𝐉𝐫.!

We are thrilled to celebrate Wael Orabi, a professional youth in Mati and a 𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐢 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐥, for successfully completing the 𝟒𝟗𝐭𝐡 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐀𝐬𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐉𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦 (𝐒𝐒𝐄𝐀𝐘𝐏)!

Wael was one of the 𝟏𝟕 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 representing the Philippines, joining fellow youth leaders from ASEAN Member States and Japan in this transformative journey held from January 15 to February 17, 2026.

Organized by the Cabinet Office of Japan in partnership with ASEAN countries, this year’s program marked a return to the iconic Ship Program, navigating through the beautiful waters of Singapore and Thailand. After years of virtual and hybrid formats due to the global pandemic, SSEAYP 2026 reignited the spirit of face-to-face engagement, fostering friendship, mutual understanding, and cultural exchange among young leaders in the region.

During the program, Wael and fellow participants engaged in courtesy visits and homestays, participated in group discussions and peer-learning seminars, joined local programs in Japan, took part in celebrations of the 50th Year of ASEAN-Japan Friendship and Cooperation, and engaged in various activities focused on leadership, social action, and addressing global issues. The discussion themes this year included quality education, economic growth and sustainable tourism, global environment and climate change, disaster risk reduction and recovery, social welfare and inclusion, and the digital society and AI.

Wael’s participation exemplifies the Philippine youth’s leadership, commitment to social impact, and global mindset. His experience in SSEAYP is not only a personal milestone but also a testament to the power of youth in shaping a more connected and compassionate ASEAN-Japan community.

Let’s give him a huge round of applause as he brings back the lessons, friendships, and inspirations from this incredible journey!
