Young Public Servants

12/06/2026

As we commemorate the 128th Philippine Independence Day, we are reminded that independence is not complete when accountability is delayed, truth is distorted, and public power is used to protect the powerful.

This Independence Day, we remember that democracy must be defended not only from foreign rule, but from corruption, impunity, historical revisionism, and institutions that fail to act with integrity.

We call for public officials to uphold accountability, for greater transparency in flood control projects, for the Senate to act with integrity, and for justice to remain fair, independent, and responsive to the people.

Young people deserve a country where history is remembered, public office is treated as public trust, and freedom is felt in the lives of ordinary Filipinos.

For an independence rooted in accountability. For a generation that refuses to forget. For a country that deserves better.

YPS & Angat Taytay: Building Stronger Pathways for Youth Participation

Young Public Servants (YPS) and Angat Taytay formalized their partnership through a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) signing during KAMALAYAN III: Makialam, Makilahok, Magtagumpay, Atin Ang Bukas, held on May 27 at the One Cainta Auditorium.

Through this partnership, YPS and Angat Taytay will work together on initiatives that strengthen youth leadership, community engagement, and democratic participation. The MOA also provides a framework for future collaboration in programs that encourage young people to understand public issues, participate in governance, and contribute to responsive local action.

Kamalayan III gathered youth leaders, student representatives, and aspiring public servants from Rizal for a leadership conference centered on transparent, accountable, participatory, and future-ready governance. The event reflected the kind of youth engagement that both organizations seek to sustain through this partnership: informed, grounded, and connected to the realities of communities.

This collaboration affirms the shared commitment of YPS and Angat Taytay to support young people as active citizens and partners in building more inclusive and democratic communities.

𝐘𝐏𝐒 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: 𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞’𝐬 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭

The recent Senate incident was not just a breakdown of order. It was a reminder that our vote shapes the kind of leadership we get in moments of crisis.

Sa panahon ng krisis o kaguluhan, mas malinaw kung sino ang dapat nating pagkatiwalaan. We should choose leaders who stay calm, give clear answers, and put the safety and welfare of workers, public servants, and ordinary people first.

We deserve leaders who prioritize people over publicity. Leaders with actual work, not just image. Leaders who offer solutions, not endless allegations. Leaders who respect institutions, not use them to escape accountability.

Young Filipinos are angry because we see the double standard. Ordinary people are expected to follow the law and carry the burden of broken systems. But when the powerful are questioned, accountability becomes negotiable.

𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐯𝐨𝐭𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬. 𝐏𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐞 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐬. It must be used to protect people, uphold justice, and serve the common good, not to shield the powerful or protect political interests.

Tandaan: tayo ang nagbigay ng tiwala at kapangyarihan sa mga nahalal. Tayo rin ang maaaring bumawi ng kapangyarihang iyon kapag ang tiwala ay inabuso.

Kung gusto natin ng mga pinunong deserve natin, may tatlong hakbang: 𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫. 𝐂𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐠𝐧. 𝐕𝐨𝐭𝐞.

Kung hindi ka pa registered, huwag mo nang hintayin ang 𝐌𝐚𝐲 𝟏𝟖, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 𝐯𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞. Magtungo sa inyong local COMELEC office or designated satellite registration site. 𝐌𝐚𝐠𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨 𝐧𝐚. 𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐦. 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐚. 𝐁𝐮𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐨.

Sa susunod na halalan, piliin natin ang mga pinunong inuuna ang tao, nagbibigay ng linaw at katiyakan, may tunay na solusyon, at hindi ginagawang panangga ang kapangyarihan laban sa pananagutan.

As the campaign reached Mindanao, the activity created a space for young people to engage in discussions on democratic participation, voter registration, and the role of the youth in shaping national and local decisions. Through conversations led by COMELEC, youth leaders, and partner organizations, participants were encouraged to see voting not only as a right, but as an active responsibility in building stronger communities.

This leg was implemented by Young Public Servants (YPS), with support from the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom (FNF), in coordination with the Commission on Elections (COMELEC). It was organized in partnership with MSU-GenSan, the MSU-GenSan Supreme Student Council, and Leaders United for Progressive Advocacies of Davao-SOCCSKSARGEN (LUPAD).
