Hundreds of youth advocates and partners from different sectors gathered on October 26, 2019 at the second SDG Bayanihan Summit (SBS), the biggest “bayanihan” #fortheGlobalGoals! Four (4) projects, dubbed as “Bayanihan” Initiatives, were selected by a multi-sector panel from the “Bayanihan” Sessions. The multi-sector panel, composed of various industry experts, have pledged to support these “Bayanihan” Initiatives into fruition through funding, mentorship, promotions, endorsements, among other forms of support. These serve as the main outputs of the summit. The “Bayanihan” Initiatives were designed by the delegates to address the following key issues, respectively: “Fake News” and Disinformation; Sustainable and Responsible Consumerism; Livable and Human-Centered Cities; and Language and Culture as Tools in Shaping Filipino Consciousness Other highlights of the summit include the Plenary Session, which featured keynote speeches from Hon. Sarah Elago, Kabataan Party-List Representative; Ms. MaryAnne Darauay, National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) Director for Social Development Staff; Mr. Beniam Gebrezghi, United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Bangkok Regional Hub Program Specialist; Ms. Farah Ghodsinia, Children of Mindanao Founder; and USec. Ryan Enriquez, National Youth Commission (NYC) Chairperson and CEO. About 30 institutions and organizations also gathered to showcase their endeavors for sustainable development at the SDG Expo: Global Goals Fair, which started the program. SBS 2019 concluded with the Oath Taking and Turnover Ceremony of the national leadership of YFPH, during which the National Council for the term 2019-2021 was launched to the public. YFPH is now under the leadership of its new National Convenor, Erycce Althea Antonio. The National Organizing Committee (NOC) of SBS 2019 extends its deepest gratitude to the partners and sponsors who helped ensure the success of the summit!
