THE speakers at The Manila Times’ Student Empowerment Forum on Friday called on young people to use their skills to “write their own future” and make a difference in a connected world.
Students braved a heavy downpour to hear the speakers talk on the theme “moving up, step up, and level up.”In her speech, Department of Education Assistant Secretary Cilette Liboro-Co said that Generation Z is growing up in a world where success can be defined by their digital footprint, their startup idea, or their creativity that goes viral overnight.“Education gives you the skills to write your own future. It teaches you not just how to follow stories but how to shape them.
Times Columnist and Carl Balita Review Center chairman Dr. Carl Balita shared the story of the individual who hacked his social media accounts, which he later employed to make his websites hack-proof.“If you want to level up, if you want to rise up, don’t forget your values,” he said.Content creator Mona Magno-Veluz, also known as “Mighty Magulang,” urged the young students to espouse research and fact-checking amid the rise of misinformation and disinformation.
