Empowering the voices of the youth!
The Local Youth Development Office successfully conducted the Formulation of the Local Youth Development Plan 2026–2028 last April 27–28, 2026 at Loghouse 28 Mountain Resort, Barangay Lorega, Kitaotao, Bukidnon.
A meaningful step forward toward building a better future for the youth, the SK Chairpersons from 35 barangays and members of the Local Youth Development Council gathered for this significant activity.
With the full support of our Municipal Mayor, Hon. Edwin P. Abucayan, the program was warmly opened with a welcome message from the Barangay Captain of Lorega, Hon. Robert G. Bendanillo, Sr., followed by an inspiring message from the Municipal Vice Mayor, Hon. Mary Ann G. Angit-Ople, RPh., encouraging everyone to take an active role in shaping programs that truly respond to the needs of young people.
The activity was further enriched by the expertise of our resource speaker, Ms. Anavil C. Vilvestre, MLGOO, who provided valuable insights and guidance throughout the planning process.
Over the two-day activity, participants actively engaged in discussions, workshops, and planning sessions—identifying priority areas, addressing pressing youth concerns, and developing strategic programs that will guide youth development efforts.
Together, we continue to empower the youth, strengthen leadership, and build a brighter and more inclusive future for all. 💚🌱
