The Earth gives us everything. Now, it’s our time to give back.

This , let us pause and reflect on the land we walk on, the air we breathe and the water that sustains all life. These are not merely resources, they are entrusted to us, calling on each of us to become responsible stewards of our environment.

In a time when natural catastrophes are becoming a frequent reality, especially for developing countries like the Philippines, the role of the Filipino youth has never been more vital. We are challenged not only to care, but to act with purpose, discipline and a deep sense of stewardship over our natural heritage.

Together, let us rise as proactive stewards of the Earth empowered, informed, and united in safeguarding our environment. Let us lead with responsibility and take meaningful, collective action toward a greener, more climate-resilient future.

Because caring for the Earth is not just an advocacy, it is our duty to our communities, our nation and the generations yet to come.

𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 𝐋𝐘𝐃𝐂 𝐆𝐔𝐈𝐃𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐒 𝐍𝐎𝐖 𝐎𝐔𝐓!

The National Youth Commission (NYC) has approved the 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 𝐆𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐄𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐋𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐬 (𝐋𝐘𝐃𝐂𝐬). The updated guidelines set a clearer and more consistent framework for how LYDCs are organized and operate across LGUs, ensuring sustained and inclusive youth participation in local governance.

With more defined roles, processes and coordination mechanisms, LYDCs are better positioned to support Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) officials in delivering youth programs aligned with national priorities, while also strengthening compliance and institutionalization at the local level.
