On September 25, 2026, the DSWD Region I Regional Program Management Office (RPMO) reconvened with 12 YVFL leaders and 7 barangay-level 4Ps youth leader facilitators, with the participation of the LYDO and the Municipal Action Team (MAT) Leader of the 4Ps Municipal Links.

The session began with the presentation of the findings from the Youth Group Functionality Assessment Tool conducted the previous day. Youth volunteers were also given the opportunity to share their feedback and provide additional information about YVFL.

A benchmarking session followed, where YVFL President Dione Rosario, Vice President JC Pascual, and former President Reina Candelaria Veses presented the organization’s founding, activities, best practices, and upcoming projects.

The activity concluded with discussions on how YVFL can continue developing and strengthen its partnership with DSWD in supporting the priorities of the 4Ps program.

YVFL sincerely thanks DSWD Region I and RPMO for the valuable learning, feedback, and opportunities for collaboration. We look forward to more training, mentorship, and meaningful partnerships in empowering more 4Ps youth through community leadership and skills development.

A big thank you as well to the Lingayen Municipal Public Library! YVFL and DSWD could not have held our event without your support in opening the library for us even on a Friday.

On September 24, 2026, the Youth Volunteer Facilitators of Lingayen (YVFL) had the honor of assisting the DSWD Region I Regional Program Management Office (RPMO) in conducting the Pilot Test of the Youth Group Functionality Assessment Tool for 4Ps community action groups.

The 4Ps Municipal Links of Lingayen, the Local Youth Development Office-Lingayen(LYDO), and YVFL leaders warmly welcomed the RPMO delegation. A courtesy call was also held with Municipal Mayor Hon. Josefina V. Castañeda, where both teams expressed their enthusiasm for the pilot test and continued partnership.

Following the courtesy call, RPMO officials and 4Ps Municipal Links visited selected barangays in Lingayen to interview 4Ps youth leaders who had participated in YDS facilitation training through MSWD Lingayen and YVFL.

YVFL President Dione Rosario and Vice President JC Pascual were also interviewed using the new assessment tool, sharing the organization’s advocacies, projects, membership, mentorship, and sources of support.

Through this activity, YVFL gained valuable insights into strengthening our data monitoring, assessment practices, and engagement with barangay-level 4Ps youth leaders. We are grateful to DSWD Region I and RPMO for including us in this meaningful initiative.

The Local Government Unit of Lingayen, under the leadership of Mayor Josefina V. Castañeda, together with the Sangguniang Bayan led by Vice Mayor JM Crisostomo, spearheaded a Coastal Clean-Up Drive at the Lingayen Baywalk on September 26, 2026, in celebration of the International Coastal Clean-Up and Tourism Month this September.

The activity brought together various municipal offices, organizations, schools, and tourism stakeholders in a collective effort to protect Lingayen’s coastal environment and promote responsible tourism.

Among those who participated were the Municipal Environment and Natural Resources Office (MENRO), Local Tourism and Cultural Affairs Office (LTCAO), Local Youth Development Office (LYDO), Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (LDRRMO), Young Environmental Advocates of Lingayen (YEAL), Pangasinan School of Arts and Trades (PSAT), Philippine Guardians, Lingayen Police Station, and members of the Pangasinan Fishery Allied Workers, Fishermen, Environmentalists, Livestock Raisers, Urban & Coconut Farmers Association.

The Lingayen Tourism Enterprises and Tourism Stakeholders Governing Organization (LETSGO) also joined the initiative, highlighting the important role of tourism enterprises and stakeholders in maintaining a clean, safe, and sustainable destination.

Beyond removing waste from the shoreline, the coastal clean-up served as a reminder that tourism and environmental protection go hand in hand. A clean and healthy coastline not only benefits local communities and marine ecosystems but also strengthens Lingayen’s potential as a sustainable tourism destination.

The LGU Lingayen continues to encourage government offices, communities, organizations, businesses, and visitors to take part in protecting the municipality’s natural resources. (MVR)

On September 21, 2026, Pangasinan State University – Lingayen Campus officially welcomed its incoming first-year and transferee students during the General Orientation Program 2026 at the campus covered court.

A special highlight of the program was the feature presentation by the 𝙔𝙤𝙪𝙩𝙝 𝙑𝙤𝙡𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙚𝙧 𝙁𝙖𝙘𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙇𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙖𝙮𝙚𝙣 (𝙔𝙑𝙁𝙇)! We encouraged our freshies to look beyond the classroom, embrace active volunteerism, and become part of a community that works together to create meaningful impact in Lingayen.

As they begin their college journey, may they find opportunities not only to learn, but also to connect, serve, and inspire others along the way. 🌱✨

Here’s to new beginnings and meaningful experiences ahead! 💜
