Empowering 4Ps Youth of Madalag for Future Generation

MADALAG, Aklan- The DSWD6-4Ps, through the Municipal Operations Office (MOO) of Madalag, in strategic partnership with Pag-asa Youth Association of the Philippines (PYAP) joined forces to conduct a Youth Development Session (YDS) among 38 youth at Guadalupe Farm, Brgy. Balactasan here on Tuesday.

The initiative gathered young participants, comprising both 4Ps beneficiaries and non-4Ps youth, to foster holistic development and facilitate open dialogue on key social and health issues.

Throughout the day, attendees engaged in comprehensive discussions starting with an introduction to YDS, followed by vital topics such as mental health, sex education, and HIV/AIDS awareness.

The event was enriched by insights from esteemed public and private sector resource speakers, including Fritz P. Pahilagao, RN from Aklan POO, Raffy T. Relator from the Aklan Provincial Population and Gender Office, and Lionel Laurente from Butterfly Brigade Inc.

This successful gathering is the beginning of continuous collaborations aimed driving youth development, empowerment, and strong community representation for future activities across the municipality./
