On March 21, 2026 (Saturday), the Goodlife Youth Movement Organization, Inc. (GYMO, Inc.) proudly participated in the CTRL+YOUTH ASEAN Consultations Forum 2026 held at the Tagum Theatre, Tagum City Historical & Cultural Center, Tagum City, Davao del Norte. A total of 29 delegates from GYMO, Inc., representing Local Organizations from UM Digos College (Goodlife Youth Movement Organization Inc. - UMDC) and the Municipality of Sulop (Goodlife Youth Movement Organization,Inc.-Sulop), actively took part in this significant regional engagement.
The forum provided a rich platform for learning and dialogue through insightful plenary sessions. Dr. Ronald Amorado delivered a compelling discussion on โFrom Innovation to Impact: Building Trust and Accountability in AI,โ emphasizing the responsibility of institutions and individuals in ensuring that technological advancements are grounded in ethics, transparency, and public trust.
Meanwhile, Prof. Crystal Eunice Dela Cruz shared valuable perspectives on โResponsible Use of Emerging Technologies and Digital Resilience for Inclusive ASEAN Communities,โ highlighting how digital transformation must remain inclusive, secure, and responsive to the needs of diverse communities.
These sessions deepened our understanding of the evolving digital landscape and strengthened our awareness of the youthโs role in shaping a responsible and future-ready ASEAN.
Participants were then grouped into Youth Consultation Circles, where ideas, experiences, and sectoral insights were consolidated toward the drafting of the Youth Manifesto for Mindanao. This document will serve as a vital contribution of the youth sector in the Philippinesโ ASEAN Chairmanship in 2026, particularly in advancing discussions on digital responsibility, inclusive innovation, and youth participation in governance and development.
We extend our sincere gratitude to the organizersโASEAN 2026 PH, Department of Social Welfare and Development - DSWD, Tayo ang Taya, and Youth Service Philippinesโfor creating a platform that empowers the voices of the youth across Mindanao.
Our heartfelt thanks as well to Goodlife Community Cares Foundation Inc. (GCCFI), especially Founding Chairman Albert C. Arroco and National President Karl Lyndon Sabio, CePG, for their continued support and for providing us the opportunity to represent and engage.
We also extend our appreciation to Sir Ibot for safely driving and assisting our delegation throughout the journey.
Through meaningful participation and collaboration, GYMO, Inc. continues to stand at the forefront of youth engagement; amplifying voices, shaping ideas, and contributing to a more inclusive and forward-looking ASEAN community.
