The Legazpi City Local Youth Development Plan (LYDP) 2026–2028 has been officially adopted and approved by the 17th Sangguniang Panlungsod of the City of Legazpi through Resolution No. 17-0130-2026.

This milestone marks the culmination of a series of consultations and collaborative efforts led by the City Youth Development Office, in close coordination with the Local Youth Development Council and SK Federation of Legazpi, and with the review and endorsement of the City Development Council. The process ensured that the plan reflects the needs, priorities, and aspirations of the Legazpeño youth.

With its approval, the LYDP 2026–2028 now serves as the official guiding document of the City Government in implementing programs, projects, and activities that are responsive to the needs of the city’s young people. It is further endorsed for integration into the city's Comprehensive Development Plan, Local Development Investment Program, and the Annual Investment Program.

The City Youth Development Office expresses its sincere appreciation to the esteemed members of the Sangguniang Panlungsod, headed by Vice Mayor Luis Felipe L. Gutierrez, and to City Mayor Hisham B. Ismail for their support and approval of this important policy milestone.

The CYDO remains committed to advancing strategic, inclusive, and youth-responsive initiatives that empower the youth and strengthen their role in local development. Together, we continue to build a more enabling and youth-centered Legazpi City. 💙

"What started as a small chance became a life-changing path." — John Cayman Dungog, Founder, Brew Box Coffee & USAID Opportunity 2.0 Participant, Philippines

John was an out-of-school youth in the Philippines when he joined our workforce development program with USAID. He described recently the opportunity as feeling like a "0.2 chance" but he took it anyway.

With the support he received, John planned carefully and launched a motorcycle coffee cart with just a few thousands in Philippine Pesos in capital. Today, his business, Brew Box Coffee, employs 17 people including staff, managers, a marketing team, and a board of directors, and generates millions in annual revenue.

But John doesn't measure success only in numbers. In his own words recently from a letter to our staff: "Your support did not just help me — it helped create jobs and opportunities for others in our community." This is the ripple effect of investing in young people.

Congratulations, John. Your story is an inspiration.
