Edukabayan: Educating the Nation their power and the role they can play in Nation Building

By Arjun Carolasdolasan | Posted on November 5, 2021

The establishment of the concept of Edukabayan stems from the aim to educate the nation and to pave the way for the participation of the youth in the process of nation building and progress. As a part of the rotaract club and being youths ourselves, we seek to continuously take part in the efforts to contribute to our society and take part in the development process of the country. We stand shoulder to shoulder with the government’s efforts to proceed with this significant endeavor. 

The Rotaract Club of Metro Zamboanga is a YORP based organization of the National Youth Commission, which has has provided a significant number of opportunities for us and with that we were invited to join the Local Youth Development Council of our city and  elected as the representative of the Active citizenship in our LYDC.

The Philippine government has adopted a comprehensive national policy on youth – the Philippine Youth Development Plan (PYDP) 2017-2022 which seeks to enable, promote and ensure the youth’s active, meaningful and holistic participation in society in furtherance of their rights and welfare.

 One of our members in Rotaract Club of Metro Zamboanga , CP.Dee Hajal is a staunch PYPD champion representing the International Programs Unit of NYC and we are truly privileged to have her who is steadfast and committed to the foundations of the PYDP and as a PYDP Champions ,it is their  purpose is to assure that the principles of the PYPD are efficiently reflected in our actions and frameworks.

One of our key beneficiaries are the indigenous youth in a remote island who have low access to resources from the government. We make it a point to spearhead developmental initiatives for their progress.They  took part in the discussion of significant issues such as the Philippine Youth Development Plan,  Food Security and the Safe space act.

As a Rotaractor, we are one with the Philippine Youth Development Plan (PYDP) 2017-2022, which aims to enable, promote and ensure the youth’s active, meaningful and holistic participation in society in furthering their rights and welfare.
