On August 20, the Reboot Philippines JETxNaga Team, representing the Environmental Sector for Naga City Council for Youth Development, attended Mother Earth Foundation’s (MEF) presentation to Mayor Leni Gerona Robredo, titled 'Zero Waste and Good Governance: a People-Centered Waste System.'

MEF highlighted how Zero Waste, rooted in proper implementation of RA 9003 and circular economy principles, helps communities reduce waste generation and achieve higher waste diversion rates by improving resource management, redesigning systems, and strengthening local participation. They also shared success stories from Barangay Potrero in Malabon City, the City of San Fernando in Pampanga, the island province of Siquijor, as well as Zero Waste communities in India, Indonesia, and Japan, showing that practical and community‑based solutions can work at different scales.

Present during the meeting were MEF pillars Sonia Mendoza, Sonia Roco, and Froilan Grate, together with Kyle Perez from Reboot Philippines.

We thank MEF for visiting Naga City and introducing as a meaningful direction for local sustainability efforts. This aligns with the principles of a Just Transition—ensuring that environmental shifts are inclusive, community‑centered, and supportive of people’s livelihoods.

As youth advocates, we look forward to supporting initiatives that help Naga move toward a cleaner, more sustainable, and more circular future.

Reboot Philippines joins in supporting efforts to strengthen climate literacy and meaningful youth participation in advancing clean energy and climate action.

We commend the Local Youth Development Office – LGU Daet, SK Municipal Federation, and Climate Action Network - Camarines Norte for organizing the SDG 7 & 13 Seminar held on August 7 at Daet Heritage Center. Gatherings such as this provide young people with opportunities to deepen their understanding of the interconnected issues of energy, climate change, and sustainable development.

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL YOUTH DAY!✊🏽🌎

Young people come from all walks of life, defined by different lived realities outlining how they see the world. We champion the youth in today's international celebration, as they have been at the forefront of significant change in their community.

Our communities, especially the marginalized sectors, bear the brunt of injustices on a daily basis. Young people from marginalized communities have been actively challenging the status quo in their quest to achieve social and societal justice. As we continue to wish for a better world, we continue to seek a better tomorrow by being the bridge to realize our collective dreams.

Our youth might be separated by seas and divided by land, but our wish for a climate-literate tomorrow and a fossil-free future transcends across borders!✊🏽✨

Once called the “largest dumpsite”, the Smokey Mountain is now known to be the “Paradise Heights” of Metro Manila as it houses thousands of families whose lives revolve around recycling and waste management. Now, communities are at risk of displacement due to the 100‑megawatt Waste‑to‑Energy (WTE) incinerator proposed in the area.

In Oxfam's "Whose energy, whose future? Building a just transition from the ground up in the Philippines", the steps towards community empowerment of the residents of Smokey Mountain were showcased, showing that grassroots efforts are key to change the lives of the community for the better.
