VII. RATIONALE:

The youth is one of the important segments of our society. Usually, they
engage in social transformation of our country and they involve themselves in addressing
various issues such as: student’s rights, human rights, graft and corruption, and change of
governance. They have responded to these issues through different ways. Thus, range
from approaches that are more conservative like changing the system from within through
peaceful means and seeking to overthrow the system by joining the armed struggle.

These reasons vary from lack of proper attention or sensitivity to the youth’s
needs. Among these are internal and external distractions to cause confusion to create
crisis such as: socio-economic and political issues, environmental-health issues,
employment and labor issues, degradation of morality and values, proliferation of sex and
violence in the social media. Also, the continuous disintegration of the family structure due
to constant migration aggravates this situation. Given these social maladies, hopelessness
has been the foremost concern that true leadership and good governance must address; or
worst, our youth will continue to be vulnerable to the false hopes and empty promises of the
left movement. We can include them to worthwhile change and development by tapping
their potentials. These are feasible if they form part in the governance through timely and
significant programs and advocacies.

 This summit uses the approach of Transformational Leadership. This
leadership is based on values and principles that focus on holistic individual to societal
development. Let us help them find opportunity to help themselves. Only by developing the
leaders within them can we bring out the best in them. Only by investing with them can we
see the reality of our hopes and aspirations for a better society. They are the catalyst of
change, the most powerful force and sector to reckon with – the youth.

VIII. OBJECTIVES

General

The Youth Leadership Summit is designed to provide the building blocks for
additional components of leadership in the way of peace. The YLS is designed to awaken

responsibilities and accountabilities in the society.

2. To develop leadership potential and interpersonal relationship.

3. To enhance understanding on the insurgency problem.

4. To develop awareness on the security situation and its

implications to national development.

IX. CONCEPT:

A. Activity and Composition

The Youth Leadership Summit is a 3-day, stay-in activity where

participants will billet in a sports complex or any appropriate facilities. There will be series of
lectures and interactive discussions focusing on leadership and the role of the youth in
nation building. The youth will also be educated on how they can help promote peace and
development initiative of the government.

Resource speakers are to present PowerPoint lectures for no more

than one-hour, leaving ample time for interaction of participants. Team Building Activities,

2
Healthy Competitions, Small Group Discussions, Taebo Exercise, Campfire, and Youth
Night will also be conducted for the youth to achieve the objectives of this activity.

Participants are organized by teams upon registration with a

designated ate or kuya (ARMY, DILG facilitators) to act as guides. Competitions are not for
the participants to become award-driven but to foster camaraderie among them and to
invigorate their individual intellect and leadership potentials. The series of activities
correspond to a team ‘point system’ and the team that garners the highest possible score
will be acknowledged and awarded accordingly. Each team has team ‘guidon’ or flag that
their team leader and his/her buddy always carry.

On the last day of the summit, they will select their officers and craft
constitution and by-laws to be assisted by Municipal Youth Department. Municipal Youth
Leaders will help the LGU promote peace and development programs including programs
for the empowerment of the youth.

Furthermore, the success of this activity is greatly dependent on the support
to be provided by the officials of barangays, municipalities, other government agencies and
other stakeholders. This does not only mean material, water and food support but also by
