UNESCO-Philippine National Commission

UNESCO-Philippine National Commission By the 1970s, this further evolved to include a role in the formulation of policy feedback.

The UNESCO National Commission of the Philippines (UNACOM) is the primary enabling agency in maximizing Philippine engagement in UNESCO and in advancing UNESCO programs in the country. The Philippine National Commission for UNESCO (PH NatCom) was established by law (R.A 621 in 1951, amended by R.A. 892 in 1953 and R.A. 3849 in 1964) to honor the Philippines’ international commitment to UNESCO. PH

NatCom’s original mandate was to serve as an advisory and liaison body bridging the work of relevant Philippine partners to UNESCO’s own work in educational, scientific and cultural matters and concerns. Over the years and in view of the ever-changing contexts of national, regional and international affairs, the role of the PH NatCom has expanded to meet new and increasingly complex needs and challenges. Hence, beyond the advisory and liaison functions crafted in the 1950s, the tasks of PH NatCom grew to include a more active role in the dissemination of public information on UNESCO’s work by the 1960s. The 1990s eventually saw UNESCO’s thrusts begin to decentralize altogether, so that national commissions became active organizational partners, responsible for defining and expanding their roles in their respective countries.

Ngayong ika-12 ng Agosto 2026, nakikiisa ang Pambansang Komisyon ng Pilipinas sa UNESCO (UNACOM) sa pagdiriwang ng Pandaigdigang Araw ng Kabataan! Isang pagpupugay ito sa mga kabataang walang-sawang kumikilos para sa likas-kayang kaunlaran sa mga pook ng UNESCO sa bansa na tinatawag nilang tahanan.

Higit pa sa pagiging bahagi ng lipunan, kinikilala ng UNACOM ang kabataang Pilipino bilang mga lider, katuwang, at tagapagmana ng ating kinabukasan. Ang kabataan ay may mahalagang papel sa paglinang ng kultura ng kapayapaan at pagtuklas ng mga makabagong solusyon sa mga isyung panlipunan.

Nawa'y patuloy na dumaloy ang inspirasyon na makilahok: mula sa pagsusulong ng pagkakapantay-pantay ng kasarian at makatarungang pagtugon sa krisis sa klima, hanggang sa pagpapalakas ng inyong pamumuno sa mga programa o adbokasiyang mangangalaga ng ating mga kinikilalang pook at pamana (UNESCO designations and inscriptions).

Sa pamamagitan ng makabuluhang pakikipag-ugnayan, sa kapwa man kabataan o sa iba't ibang henerasyon, sabay-sabay nating tutuparin ang ating iisang adhikain.

Ikaw, kabataan: paano mo isinasabuhay ang iyong adhikain? Ano ang kwentong UNESCO mo?
