About Hangkat Kina-iya
Background
Hangkat Kina-iya (Hangkat) is a life skills development program designed for high school students
of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (Pantawid). Hangkat Kina-iya means One of a kind
skills in the local language of Antique, Kinaray-a. The program’s inception was in 2015 when a Peace
Corps Volunteer assigned to the Municipality of Valderrama collaborated with regionally assigned
municipal links of the Pantawid program to create a project which targets youth of the Valderrama
community. The team used focus group activities conducted for the Parent Leaders of the Pantawid
program in Valderrama to learn that youth engagement in vices was one of the largest areas of
concern in their community.
The programs slogan “To Empower Youth to Be Change Agents of their Communities” serves as the
overall guide for the program. The program aims to give youth whom are at a disadvantage, due to
their socio-economic status, an opportunity to engage in healthy developmental activity. By
empowering youth they can more effectively focus their attention toward the objective of finishing
school and being active members of their communities. By fostering positive youth developmen t
youth are less susceptive to engage in vices and can more adequately complete their studies.
The program is a year around program with a majority of the activity occurring during the summer
months when students are not in class. During the summer months youth gather numerous times
and engage in positive life skills session on topics that vary on the needs of the youth of the host
community at the time of implementation. During the school year, monthly meetings are held in
order to continue fostering the growth of the youth. The school year is a latent opportunity to
implement community service projects and special events for Hangkat youth.
Participants
The program is catered for high school students of the Pantawid program from the barangays of the
host community. The program size depends on the budget and number of youth of the community.
The suggested implementation is to get two students from each barangay where Pantawid youth are
residents of and have them be the representatives for their barangays in the program. In the past
groups of 30-50 students have been shown to be ideal for program implementation. Pantawid
students are the focus of the program as they are at a higher risk of early pregnancy, dropping out of
school and engaging in vices such as alcohol and drugs.
Criteria for the youth participants is as follows. Note the criteria can be modified depending on the
target group of students.
 Ability to attend all sessions

 Monitored beneficiary of a Pantawid family
 Enrolled or intend to enroll in high school in the following school yea; or have graduated
 13-16 years old.
PAGE 2
In the past Out of School Youth, non-pantawid students and students of slightly older/younger ages
have participated in the program. Students interested in the program whom would benefit from
being a part of the program are encouraged to participate.
Host
Since the program targets youth of the Pantawid program the most effective host is the Municipal
Social Welfare and Development Office. Given that the Municipal Links assigned at local MSWDOs
are responsible for monitoring high school beneficiaries and have access to the list of students
enrolled in school whom are Pantawid beneficiaries they are seen as important implementers of the
program. Given the program benefits youth of the local MSWDO offices it is suggested that the local
government unit support and approve the project prior to its implementation. The program works
best when various agents are invested in serving the youth. Local MSWDO staff, regionally assigned
DSWD employees, volunteers, teachers and Parent Leaders are human resources that when
optimized make for a successful program.
In the past funding for the project has come from local MSWDO offices, barangay LIGA, Provincial
Pantawid Offices, and external sources are additional areas of funding that can be tapped in order to
implement the project.

Program Features
Summer Sessions
Each summer program should be themed appropriately. Themes can encompass life skills, gender
awareness and development, livelihood development, talent enhancement etc. Sessions are held in
the morning and facilitated by local staff, invited resource speakers or youth leaders.
**Once one batch of Hangkat has been held those youth can and should serve as facilitators for the
succeeding batches. Sample themes and session guides can be found in the appendix of this manual .
Sessions are typically held in the mornings from 8am-12pm. Depending on the summer schedul e
sessions can be held once weekly or various times in the same week ie. MWF or TTH schedule. It is
important to keep in mind holidays, enrollment periods and conflicts of youth before setting a
schedule. A minimum of 6 sessions is suggest to be hosted during the summer months in order to
maximize learning and ensure impact of the program on youth. Below are three example summer
themes
1. Talent: Talent enhancement is one feature where students thrive and enjoy most in the
program. For example, the morning sessions are divided into two parts. The first part is a
contemporary topic related to youth needs of today: Drug and Alcohol Awareness, Goal
Setting, Teamwork and Leadership. Then the second half students are divided into talent
groups such as singing, dancing, acting, arts, martial arts, sports. They work in talent groups
and prepare for a talent showcase held at the end of the summer program.
2. Life Skills: These sessions focus on building character and awareness for youth to be
successful students: Assets identification, Problem Solving, Decision Making, Responsibl e
Behavior, Healthy Lifestyles, Leadership.
3. Specialized Theme: This approach is an elaborate summer theme on a particular topic. For
example all sessions are related to HIV/AIDS. Active Citizenship, Environmental Awareness
or Sexual Education.
All session should begin with a recap from the previous session, end with a summary and a journaling
session for the youth to reflect on their learnings. It is advised that the first session have getting to
know you activities.
The summer program should start with a LAUNCH where students are invited, hear special messages
from local officials and are welcomed for being nominated to be apart of the project. The entire
summer program should end with a graduation where youth receive a certificate for their
participation and have a chance to give testimonies of their experiences.
Note: See Appendix for camp guide resources, Launch and graduation program samples.
Summer Youth Camp
The summer youth camp is typically held at the end of the summer program. The camp should be
themed around the needs of the students. Previous themes have been Project Design Management,
Volunteerism and Teambuilding. The camp is most effective when hosted overnight for at least one
night. Depending on budget, program needs, schedule the camp length can be extended. The camp
often acts as the cumulating activity for the youth and a celebration of their successes in the program.
PAGE 5
Earlier batches are encouraged to assist with camp sessions, registration, and other administrative
tasks.
Camps can be held at local elementary schools or venues that can comfortably accommodate the
number of program participants. All students should have a waiver for the camp and it is suggest
that medical staff be on hand to assist in the case of an emergency. The end of the camp can be a
reflection of the entire Hangkat Program and also host the graduation should that strategy best suit
the program implementation.
Please see the Things to keep in mind when hosting a youth camp section under the Implementation
Strategies section for more information on hosting a youth camp.
Note: Sample camp schedules, permission forms are located in the appendix.
Monthly Workshops
Once the summer program has concluded the monthly school workshops can be held to further assist
the youth with their leadership development. Monthly workshops take the form of additional life
skills sessions, planning sessions for summer implementation, barangay session for other youth or
community service projects. The goal of the summer workshops are to keep the youth engaged with
the Hangkat mission and allow a chance for them to practice the positive skills learned during the
summer program.
Please see Monthly Workshop ideas under the Implementation Strategies section for more
opportunities to meet with students during the school year.
PAGE 6
Office Board
Establishing an office board with annual elections that allow participants from all batches to
participate is an effective way to advance the leadership skills of the youth and keep students
engaged with the program. An officer board is a venue for the dissemination of information and
empowerment of students. Officer boards should take the following structure
President
Vice President
Public Information
Secretary Treasurer Committee Chairs
Officers (1/school)
Special Events
Educational
Community
Service
PAGE 7
Sessions
Sessions for summer or monthly workshops and the youth camp should take the form of
experimental learning. This means sessions are structured so that students learn by doing. Lecture is
strongly discouraged as a model for the Hangkat program. This is a life skills developmental program
and not a formal education activity. The following structure is suggested.
1. PERA: Prayer, Energizer, Review Activity: Start each session with an opening prayer and
encourage the Hangkat Youth to lead it. Then have an energizer to get the youth awake and
alert for the session. The Review Activity can be a game where losers answer questions on
the previous session or an activity that allows youth to recall the earlier sessions.
This normally takes roughly 20 minutes
2. Introduction of Topic: Take some time to introduce the topic to the youth. Ask them what
they think about when they hear the topic and why they think this is important. Give them
a brief overview of the day’s activities and what they should learn from the session.
10 minutes.
3. Activity One: Activity one should be a game or activity that allows students a chance to
participate and actively complete a tasks that is related to the topic. These can take anywhere
from 20-55 minutes. During activities encourage students to ask questions, participate.
4. Processing of Activity One: When the activity is over take some time to see what
happened. Ask youth the following types of questions in order to exert the learnings from
the youth.
What? – Ask the students what they did, what was their activity, was it challenging, why?.
This is more to make sure students did what they were supposed to do.
So What? - This is a deepening of the What question. Why did we do this activity, what was
it that they should have learned from the activity.
Now what? - Now that the activity is over what can they do with their new knowledge.
Roughly takes 10 minutes
5. Facilitator Comments: This is a chance for the facilitator to fill in gaps with what the
session objectives were. Review the comments from the processing and add any
information that is mission.
15 Minutes
6. Activity Two: Activity two should be a game or activity that allows students a chance to
participate and actively complete a tasks that is related to the topic. These can take anywhere
from 20-55 minutes. During activities encourage students to ask questions, participate. It
can be extension of the first activity now that they have that as foundation knowledge.
7. Processing of Activity Two: When the activity is over take some time to see what
happened. Ask youth the following types of questions in order to exert the learnings from
the youth. Relate them to the first activity where applicable.
What? – Ask the students what they did, what was their activity, was it challenging, why?
This is more to make sure students did what they were supposed to do.
So What? - This is a deepening of the What question. Why did we do this activity, what was
it that they should have learned from the activity.
Now what? - Now that the activity is over what can they do with their new knowledge?
PAGE 8
8. Facilitator Comments: This is a chance for the facilitator to fill in gaps with what the
session objectives were. Review the comments from the processing and add any information
that is mission.
15 minutes
9. Overall Summary Activity: Have an overall review game/activity that gives a chance for
the students to reflect on what they did and what they learned this day. Remind them of the
main objectives and see to it they learned what they should have.
10. Journaling Session: Have students take time after each session to write in a journal on their
experiences during the session. Pose a question related to the session topics. Example if the
topic is about leadership have the journal prompt be “What kind leader am I and what kind
of leader do I want to be?” This will not be shared or read by others and is for the sole usage
of the students reflection.
11. Announcements and Departure: Before the students give announcements are reminders
regarding the next sessions. It is ideal that all sessions end with a solidified date, time and
venue of the next Hangkat Activity.
Example session plans are found in the appendix.
PAGE 9
Youth as Resources
The program slogan “Empowering Youth to be Change Agents of their Communities” is best met
with youth are serving as resources. There are many strategies in which youth can serve as resources
in the Hangkat Program.
Facilitators: Students whom have graduated from the Hangkat program should serve as facilitators
during the next batch of Hangkat and/or to groups of students at the barangay level. These can be
held on the weekends or during holidays. In some instances after school sessions can be held. Youth
are encouraged to create and facilitate modules. This allows students to gain confidence and practice
teaching other youth. In turn youth as resources has personal and external benefits on the side of the
youth.
Support Staff: Hangkat Youth should take active roles in the program. During sessions and camps
they should be documenting, taking charge of attendance, setting up and ensuring the sessions are
going smoothly. By giving responsibility to students is a way for them to be invested in the program
and learn what it takes to work in implementing programs. Youth should also Emcee programs, give
testimonies, recruit other youth to join, plan events such, take inventory of materials, facilitate
opening prayers. Essentially make give the youth responsibility in the program and the program will
be more effective.
Officer Board: Serving on the officer board mentioned above is an official way for students to be
resources for the Hangkat Program. Allow them the chance to serve in a structured capacity because
that way they have experience to share to others, have a titled they can identify with and more
strongly implement the program. The officer board is also a strategy used by the local staff
implementing the project as they will have a point of contact when needing to plan programs and
disseminate information to other youth.

The youth are the future of our community and our country. They are our future
nurses, doctors, political figures, entrepreneurs, teachers, social workers etc. Having
positive life skills are the foundation to ensuring youth are capable to lead safe, healt hy
and successful lives. This program strives to increase the students understanding of
themselves, their values and their future.
During a Parent Leaders workshop conducted on November 4 th, 2014 at the

Day Care Center of Barangay Ubos it was discovered through various group activities
conducted by newly assigned United States Peace Corps Volunteer Ricardo Espitia
that the two major areas of improvement of Valderrama are the youth engagement in
vices and lack of employment. This is where the Hangkat Kina-iya vision was born: To
address what the community sees as areas of improvement.
The purpose of the project is to train 46 Youth Leaders on life skills and
facilitation skills in order for them to afterward train the youth of their respective
barangays monthly during the following school year. By empowering these youth to
take charge of their character they will have the skills and attitude to be positive
contributing members of society.

sessions and one training of trainers during the summer months of 2015
(April and May).
 To train Pantawid extended age coverage to facilitate one life skills
session monthly to youth in their barangay during the following school
year.
4. To create a spirit of employability which will increase their self confidence and

IV. Description of the Activity :
PAGE 15
The program will encompass 7 sessions of two hours each for a total of 14 hours
training over the course of seven weeks during the summer months of 2015 (April and
May). These seven trainings will be comprised of six life skills and one training of
trainers. The six life skills sessions will be goal setting, responsible behavior, critical
thinking, self-awareness, decision making and leadership. The training of trainers will
focus on effective facilitation skills to equip participants with the ability to host life skills
trainings to youth in their communities in the future.
The forty-six (46) participants will selected based on their nomination coming from
the Parent Leader of their respective barangay and approval coming from the 4Ps staff
of Valderrama Antique. Those prioritized will be chosen based on their intent, physical
and mental health condition to participate during the entire seven week program. The
participants ability to be able to arrive to the venue each week will also be taken into
consideration. Ideally there will be a fairly even number of males and females
participating. However, if it is not an even ratio the program will still continue.
Participating youth will be enrolled in school with intent to enroll in the following school
year.
The training is based in the poblacion of Valderrama, Antique. The venue should
be able to comfortably fit 46 participants and at least 2 trainers with space for activity.
The trainings are designed to be interactive, engaging and entertaining. After each
training the participants will give verbal and written feedback regarding the session in
hopes to improve them for weeks to follow. The participants will also keep a leadership
development journal where they will record their new learnings.
The program will conclude with a graduation at the last week of May in which they
will be promoted from trainees to Youth Leaders and facilitations. This will be the official
start of their monthly facilitation sessions.
After this graduation the Hangkat Kina-iya youth will meet monthly with the Peace
Corps Volunteers and 4Ps staff to prepare them for their monthly facilitation sessions.
In addition the Peace Corps Volunteer will continue to work with the YLs to meet their
needs and encourage them to continue being active in their communities.
Partnering with the Sustainable Livelihood Program, after the graduation these
youth will be invited every three months to listen to resources speakers in fields of
interest ranging from health, IT, education or political professions. This will allow for
them to being thinking about their futures and possibilities for their careers. In addition
to these sessions employability skills will be conducted for the Hangkat Kina-iya youth
until they graduate high school.

II. Rationale:
Last 2014, the National Office of the Department of Social Welfare and
Development expanded the age coverage of students monitored in the Pantawid
Pamiliang Pilipino Program to include students ages 15-18. The youth are the future of
our community and our country. They are our future nurses, doctors, political figures,
entrepreneurs, teachers, social workers etc. Having positive life skills are the foundation
to ensuring youth are capable to lead safe, healthy and successful lives. This program
strives to increase the students understanding of themselves, their values and their
future.
During a Parent Leaders workshop conducted on November 4th, 2014 at the Day
Care Center of Barangay Ubos it was discovered through various group activities
conducted by newly assigned United States Peace Corps Volunteer Ricardo Espitia that
the two major areas of improvement of Valderrama are the youth engagement in vices
and lack of employment. This is where the Hangkat Kina-iya vision was born: To address
what the community sees as areas of improvement.
The purpose of the project is to train 30 Youth Leaders on life skills as well as
enhance their talents and skills in order to teach how to translate their skills into
technical skills they can use for employment. By empowering these youth to take charge
of their character they will have the skills and attitude to be positive contributin g
members of society.
Batch one of Hangkat Kina-iya was executed with a large level of success. The
forty-two (42) youth in which graduated from the program were highly empowered by
their experiences in the program. During the evaluation of the program th e highest
PAGE 18
frequency item was that the program should be expanded to others. This is one objective
of the program-to train the EAC youth in Valderrama. Now, should we provide a new
batch the new and improved model of Hangkat Kina-iya, there will be a chance for batch
one to serve as facilitators for the second batch and allow for the second batch to gain
the level same level of empowerment. This achieves two goals to ensure that the
sustainability of the program is upheld by having youth facilitators run the sessions as
well as provide quality training sessions to the batch two youth.
III. Goals:
5. For the Pantawid youth to recognize their strengths and values by undergoing
skills training in order to be active and positive contributors to their families
and communities.
 To train Pantawid extended age coverage (EAC) youth on six life skills
sessions and one youth camp during the summer months of 2016 (April).
 To train Pantawid extended age coverage to facilitate one life skills session
monthly to youth in their barangay during the following school year
starting with one demo community based training during the course of the
program.
6. For Graduated Hangkat Youth Leaders to increase their facilitation and

leadership skills.
 For batch 1 Hangkat Youth to attend a training of trainers in order to

prepare them to implement the Hangkat program for the new batches of
youth.
 For batch 1 Hangkat youth will design and facilitate session plans to batch
two youth and serve in numerous leadership capacities during the
implementation of the summer program.
IV. Description of the Activity :
The program will encompass six sessions of four hours each for a total of 24 hours
training over the course of three weeks during the month of April 2016. In addition, the
two day youth camp will be the closing feature of the program in order to provide the
youth with technical skills that they can translate to avenues of productivity. This will
provide another 22 hours of training. During the youth camp the formal graduation and
closing of the entire program will be celebrated. After the official launch event, the
program will start with six sessions. During these sessions the batch one youth will be
the main facilitators with the Pantawid staff as support. These sessions will focus on life
skills and talent enhancement strategies. Following the six sessions will be the two day
youth camp where the youth will be exposed to and introduced to professional skills.
The closing of the youth camp will serve as the graduation of the program.
PAGE 19
The thirty participants will selected based on their nomination coming from the
Parent Leader of their respective barangay and approval coming from the Pantawid staff
of Valderrama, Antique. Those prioritized will be chosen based on their intent, physical
and health condition to participate during the entire summer program. The participant’s
ability to be able to arrive to the venue for each session will be taken into consideration.
Participating youth will be enrolled in school with intent to enroll in the following school
year unless otherwise graduated.
The training is based in the poblacion of Valderrama, Antique. The venue will be
able to comfortably fit 30 participants and at least five trainers with space for activity.
The trainings are designed to be interactive, engaging and entertaining. After each
training the participants will have a reflection session where they will write and
document their experiences in a journal to be used to track their progress during the
program.

To whom it may concern:
Before you are the Hangkat Kina-iya Youth Leaders. These youth have been trained in life
skills, project design management as well as facilitation skills. They have undergone a very selective
summer program in which they were challenged to set themselves on a track of personal
development. This program was established, funded and executed with the support of the
Municipal Social Welfare and Development Office.
These youth were empowered by their experience that they strive to share their
experiences to other youth in their community. These youth are determined to advance their skills,
share their knowledge and give back to their communities.
Thank you for your support in these youth and their efforts. Your capacity to serve them in
your barangay is a model to what the true meaning of community support is. Your contribution to
their programing is supporting not only the safety and healthy lifestyles of the youth in your
barangay but also attributes to these youth leader’s ability to advance themselves on their journey
of self-development. Should you have specific questions for me I invite you to contact me directly
in order to best discuss the manner in which we can promote the well being of the youth in
Valderrama.
Sincerely,
Ricardo Espitia

DearHon. RichelPagayonan:
In preparation for the official launching of the special project Hangkat Kina-iya life skills
development program to occur on Tuesday the 14 th day of April 2015 at 9am we are finalizing the
resources for the initiation of this program. This program will train and empower 46 youth monitored
under the Pantawid Pamiliang Pilipino Program (4Ps) to be active and positive contributors to their
families and communities.
Sponsors make this program possible. They not only serve as the forces behind making the
event possible but they model the strong commitment and support for the program. Should you be
willing and able to contribute a promotional tarpaulin toward the project it would most appreciated.
This contribution would provide an addition level of prestige and recognition for the selected youth
leaders that will be participating in the program. Attached is the template for your convince.
Thank you for your consideration in support of Valderrama’s youth. By contributing to this
project you are a part of campaign that will ensure all Pantawid youth in Valderrama have the
opportunity to engage and be exposed to positive lifestyle habits.
With warm regards,
Municipal Link Pantawid Municipal Link Pantawid
