From the countryโs fastest zipline to the breathtaking natural beauty of Pinzal Falls, it was the perfect venue to take a breather and understand the importance of nature beyond the screens๐ฑ
When Typhoon Kristine was set to fall in the province, an advisory was issued to halt all activities, and the officials and chaperones weighed options to ensure the safety and security of the participantsโ๏ธ. For Region VI, which opted to return immediately, the journey home included diverted flights and turbulent weather, leading to an unscheduled overnight in Manila and stopovers in Bacolod and Iloilo. Despite the challenges, all delegates returned safely, grateful for the unforgettable experience ๐ป
The spirit of YES-O remains strong, ready to drive change in their communities ๐๐ฑ
