LNK Culminating Activity | August 29, 2026

For one whole month, we watched Laoag’s youth gather, compete, create, serve, and—most importantly—show what happens when young people are given the space to dream a little bigger.

Just like a kite, this year’s Linggo ng Kabataan was never about simply getting off the ground. It was about finding the wind, holding on to the string, and having the courage to see how far we can go. 🪁

Under our theme, “Naraniag a Panagasenso ni Agtutubo a Laoagueño: Soaring High Towards New Horizons,” we celebrated young people from different schools, barangays, organizations, interests, and backgrounds —Different Contexts, Common Aspirations.

Different contexts, but one shared aspiration: to see our city and our generation move forward.

The culminating program was graced by the National SK Federation President and Ex-Officio Commissioner of the National Youth Commission, Hon. CJ Dalipe, making the celebration even more meaningful as our very own Asec. Michael Christophe R. Agustin, Commissioner Representing Luzon of NYC delivered a heartwarming and inspiring message to all Agtutubo a Laoagueño who took part as we closed a month dedicated to the youth's voices, talents, and aspirations.

We were also joined by City Mayor Hon. James Bryan Q. Alcid; PPSK Ilocos Norte President Eldritz Viernes; Hon. Jaybee G. Baquiran; Hon. Bjorn T. Lao; Hon. John Michael Farinas; and PPSK Laoag President Rionell Jan P. Respicio, along with the many partners, youth leaders, organizations, and young Laoagueños who made this celebration possible.

And, of course, we did not end the month without answering the ultimate question: who takes home the trophy? 😄

The event concluded with the awarding of winners across various sports and academic competitions—recognizing not only those on top of the podium, but every young person who showed up, competed, cheered, learned, and gave their best.

A kite does not soar simply because it is the biggest or the strongest; sometimes, it just knows how to catch the wind.

And perhaps that is what this month was truly about.

We may come from different places, carry different stories, and chase different dreams—but when the wind is right, we all rise together.

🪁 Naraniag a panagasenso, Agtutubo a Laoagueño. Our horizon is wider. Our dreams are higher. And this is only the beginning.
