Ateneo School of Government β 1st Youth Development Bootcamp 2026
The 1st Youth Development Bootcamp 2026 of the Ateneo School of Government highlighted the importance of championing the local youth, strengthening youth development programs, and understanding the current situation, challenges, and opportunities of young people across the different levels of governance: national, provincial, city/municipal, and barangay levels.
The bootcamp was attended by our Municipal Mayor, Hon. Joelle Mathea S. Panganiban, LYDO-OIC Joselito P. Lappay, and PESO Manager Mary Eileen Baracao.
During the bootcamp, Mayor Panganiban shared Angadananβs best practices and initiatives in youth development at the local executive level. Among the programs and initiatives presented were:
β’ Sports Medal Incentive Program for Local Athletes
β’ LGU Linggo ng Kabataan activities, including the Gakit Quiz Cup, Film Festival, Poster-Making Contest, Photography Contest, and Entrepreneurship activities
β’ Mobile Licensing Program for young people who need legal documents to drive motor vehicles
These initiatives reflect the LGUβs continuing efforts to create meaningful opportunities for the youth, support their talents and aspirations, and equip them with the knowledge, skills, and opportunities they need to actively participate in community development.
Investing in the youth means investing in the future of our communities.
