Theme: “KABATAAN: ALAMIN, MAKIALAM, AT MAKIBAHAGI SA FULL DEVOLUTION” K.I.P: Youth's preparation for tomorrows world You and me, yes, we are the hope of our nation as Rizal said. Our minor actions can lead to a major change in our nation. Are you not excited about this full devolution implementation? This is the rainbow we have been asking for after a series of storms. We are aware that the gap between big cities to small provinces is undeniably increasing through the years. We, who live in provinces have fewer job opportunities, inadequate hospital facilities, less tourism industry, and less infrastructure. We suffered and we struggled to attain a sustainable life. But here's the good news, our government pursued an executive order 138 (full devolution) that supports provinces to maximize its budget. The objective of full devolution is to help us glide to a land of opportunities primarily for our youth. But what is our role in this implementation of full devolution? We youth are known for our creative force, our cognitive skills, and our oneness. We just need to start the change within ourselves. We can catalyze change by doing K.I.P. K, knowing your facts. Knowledge is power. In today's age, it is very easy to acquire knowledge and be shaken by different facts. Fact-checking is not commonly observed. Some of us are easy to deceive with lies. As a youth, it is our responsibility to digest facts and weigh them. Let us all be more eager to know the facts regarding the full devolution implementation and its impact on us, our nation, and the next generation. Indeed, facts are easy to acquire, we can utilize our phones to search online or even watch the news in our homes or attend webinars that our Lgu's provide. I, intervene. Intervening is an act of bravery and showing adherence to others and surroundings. Through intervening, we can discern the underlying crises in our nation that require attention. Certainly, we can intervene through our social media by approaching the respective assigned authorities. Besides, it is not hard for us to reach our leaders thanks to technology. P, participate. Even how great our leaders are, or even how promising a proposal is when no one is willing to take part everything is futile. Remember, knowledge without action is useless. Participating in our national programs/movements is a great way for us to gain more experience in leadership, communication, and team building. So, we youth must seize every opportunity that comes to us. One nation, one heart. A single step is okay, let’s take our first step together let us know more about the full devolution campaign, as we were eager to know our crushes, and let us help our dear leaders through innovations. Let us all be empowered. As the favorite tagline of the year “No one should be left behind". Let’s strive to uplift each other. Let us be united not divided. Let us be more vigilant to the needs of our nation. Let us never cease this momentum to make our nation great again. Remember, our today's actions are the future of tomorrow's world. Don't forget the K.I.P words for the betterment of all.
