DAVAO CITY — A number of slogans came to mind if one found his/her way to the third floor of the Parish Pastoral Council inside the Redemptorist Compound along J. P. Laurel St., Bajada, Davao City last Saturday and Sunday, September 17-18, 1922. These include: “Walk the Talk”, “Think Globally, but Act Locally”; “The Future is Now!”; and Youth – Hope of the Motherland!”
Fifty youth leaders representing public high schools in the Buhangin District, Brokenshire College, Assumption College of Davao, Assumption Polytechnic College of Southern Mindanao, Ateneo de Davao University, John Paul College, University of Southeastern Philippines and Davao City National High School participated in this two-day event. They were chosen on the basis of potential leadership skills that could be mobilized for ecological engagements.
To lead them towards being convinced that they play a very important role in advancing Davao City’s ecological movement – that had began as a nascent movement only after the beginning of the present millennium – but which has considerably advanced in the last two decades owing to the heroic efforts of civil society organizations, various topics were discussed.
To make sure that the discussions lead to concrete possible actions in the future, there were workshops soliciting the participants’ suggestions on how concretely they can act locally and walk the talk! One immediate follow-up of this Youth Congress as presented by PEN’s Executive Secretary, Christian Lloyd Espinoza, is a training workshop in short video productions that can easily be posted in social media platforms such as YouTube, FaceBook and Tiktok.
