A Day to Remember for Every Balogueño Youth
June 28, 2026
We are truly grateful to our East District City Councilor, Hon. Les Lubiano, for his “BiLes Aksyon” and for taking the time to be part of the release of the Balogueño Tote Bags to the students who were able to register during our three-day Google Form access.
At first, we simply wanted to invite Hon. Les Lubiano to give a short message to our students. To inspire them and remind them of how far a Balogueño youth can go when we choose to focus on education, work hard, and believe in our own potential. We honestly did not expect the day to become something much more meaningful.
What made the day truly special was the opportunity to bond and have fun with our youth through different parlor games. We laughed, played, cheered for one another, and enjoyed the simple moments together. It was heartwarming to see our youth having fun not only with their fellow young Balogueños and the SK Council, but also with Hon. Les Lubiano and Hon. Eugene Mateo.
For a while, it did not feel like we were simply attending an official activity. It felt like everyone was just there to enjoy, laugh, and make memories together.
One of our youth even shared that the experience made them feel like “kids all over again.” And perhaps that was the most beautiful part of the day. Beyond the tote bags and the activity itself, our youth were given a chance to simply be young. To laugh, participate, and enjoy the company of people who genuinely support them.
We would also like to express our heartfelt appreciation to our Balogueño Barangay Kagawad, Hon. Eugene Mateo, for continuously being there for the SK Council and for the youth of Balogo East. Your constant presence and support mean a lot to us.
And once again, thank you, Hon. Les Lubiano, for always being there whenever we reach out to you and for consistently showing your generosity and support to our youth. We are grateful not only for your support, but also for the time you spent with our young Balogueños and for joining us in creating memories that they will surely remember.
This day reminded us that being a leader is not always about standing in front and giving speeches. Sometimes, it is about sitting with the youth, playing parlor games with them, laughing with them, and making them feel that they matter.
This is what we hope to continue building in Balogo East, a community where our youth feel supported, valued, and inspired to dream bigger.
Because this is what a Balogueño can do: we come together, we support one another, we make memories, and we help our youth believe that they can go farther than they ever imagined.
Padayon, Balogueño youth! 💙
From the SK Council of Balogo East, thank you for making June 28 a day worth remembering.
