WOOHOO FOR ANOTHER MILESTONE!

Congratulations, Lester Dellosa from Batch Magindara!

We proudly celebrate the remarkable accomplishment of Lester Dellosa in the 2026 National Footwear Design Competition and the 15th International Footwear Design Competition in Guangzhou, China, under the Lady’s Boot Category.

Your creative piece, “Sayaw ng Butanding at ni Mayon,” beautifully captures the spirit, identity, and artistry of Bicol, bringing together the grace of the butanding and the majesty of Mayon Volcano in a powerful expression of culture, movement, and design.

This achievement is not only a personal milestone but also a proud moment for Bicolano creativity and Filipino craftsmanship on the international stage. Your work reminds us that design can tell stories, honor heritage, and inspire communities.

Congratulations once again, Lester! May this accomplishment open more doors for your talent and continue to bring pride to our region and our country. Mabuhay ang galing, Bicolano!

OPISYAL NA PAHAYAG NG BICOLANO YOUNG LEADERS ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
PARA SA TRILLION PESO MARCH AT ARAW NI ANDRES BONIFACIO
30 November 2025, Bicol Region

Sa araw na ito atin tinatahak ang isang landas bilang isang sambayanang pinagbuklod ng adhikaing may pananagutan, bukas na pamamahala, at nanawagan ng hustisya para sa bansang lubog sa katiwalian at kawalan ng integridad sa pamamahala. Atin rin inaalala ang kabayanihan at mga ambag sa pambansang nasyonalismo ni G*t Andres Bonifacio.

Ang lantarang pagnanakaw sa bayan ang siyang ugat ng mga paghihirap lalo na ang mga ordinaryong mamamayan. Ang buwis na dapat inilalaan sa mga serbisyo ng pamahalaan ay ipinagkait sa mga nangangailangan. Ang tiwalang ipinagkaloob ng mamamayan ay ginagamit sa pang-aabuso sa kaban ng bayan. Ito ay dapat wakasan!

Sa ating pagbabalik sa mga lansangan bitbit natin ang iba’t-ibang panawagan lulan ng ating mga adbokasiya, mga karanasan sa komunidad, at pangarap ng isang magandang bukas. Hindi tayo papayag na patuloy tayong pagnakawan ng mga inihalal natin sa pamahalaan. Hindi katanggap-tanggap ang mabagal at sarswelang proseso ng paglalahad ng mga katiwalian sa pamahalaan. Hindi tayo magpapatinag sa anumang ingay upang ilihis ang usapin ng pananagutan.

Sa pagbaklas ng korapsyon at pagwawaksi ng mga Political Dynasties. Ang buong pwersa ng Bicolano Young Leaders Alumni Associations ay nakikiisa sa sambayanang Pilipino sa pagpapanday ng isang pambansang panawagan; Ilantad ang mga sangkot sa korapsyon, Ibalik ang pera ng bayan, Ikulong ang mga Kurakot, at Igalang ang Konstitusyon.

IKULONG NA YAN MGA KURAKOT!

“Leadership is not about how long we live, but how deeply we touch the lives of others.” 🕊️
⠀

Today, we look back and honor a Bicolano Young Leader whose leadership story, passion to serve the community, and dedication to teach as an educator, though brief, shone with purpose. An individual that embodied leading beyond, and found a greater purpose— a life dedicated to service, courage, and impact— one that inspired, felt, and radiated.
⠀
Rest in power, Sir Jeremy! 🤍

We will continue to ignite the arab-adab you left with us!

† JEREMY SANCHEZ, LPT 🕊️

𝗕𝗬𝗟𝗖 𝗗𝗔𝗬 𝟭 𝗛𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗟𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧𝗦
(Throwback to where it all started)

Day 1 of the Bicolano Young Leaders Congress 2025 ignited a journey of purpose and self-discovery as Christian Jake Tabara, Youth Campaigns Officer of Alyansa Tigil Mina, opened Leadership Session #1: Leadership of the Self under the theme “Rooted and Ready: Cultivating Personal Values for Sustainable and Purposeful Leadership.”

The energy extended well beyond the session hall. As the day progressed, leadership shifted from reflection to interaction, with delegates from different provinces across the Bicol Region diving into team-building activities that fueled cooperation, trust, camaraderie, and new connections.

Day 1 was the spark, the groundwork, and the beginning of something bigger—a growing community of Bicolano changemakers ready to move as one. 🌱

This is only the start. The leadership journey is taking root, and we’re just getting started.

Stay tuned for more moments, more movement, and more impact. 💙
