THE YOUTH:
THE CATALYST FOR
COMMUNITY RESILIENCE
ONLY THE YOUNG.
Young people are more than simply youths, they are engaged and
enthusiastic with contributing as well as serving their communities.
They take their individual roles for welfare, safety, and community
awareness. You can always count on the youth to stand together in
the event of a typhoon, flood, earthquake, landslide, drought, wildfire,
tsunami, or volcanic eruption to raise awareness and issue safety
advisories. Being aware of the social issues, campaigns, and other
local activities allows them to be a driving force and a catalyst for
community resilience. Once more, in the words of Dr. Jose Rizal,
"Kabataan ang Pag-asa ng Bayan". They embody the people, the
hope, and the future of the country.
