The National Youth Commission is the national government agency responsible for the development and promotion of the interests of the Filipino youth. Anchored in its vision, mission, and mandate, the NYC's core services are policy development, coordination of programs that promote youth participation, and provision of technical assistance to youth and youth-serving organizations.
The NYC and SCAP have continuously worked on numerous campaigns for the youth, such as the passage of the Reproductive Health Law, Students Rights and Welfare, Education Reform, Women and LGBT empowerment.
It is in this regard that the NYC endorses to student councils and student political parties from higher educational institutions the upcoming 9th National Congress of the Student Council Alliance of the Philippines (SCAP) which will be conducted on June 19-22, 2014 in Iloilo City.
