Greetings!
We are the National Youth Congress (NYC) Organizing Body, a partnership between two of the
prime student organizations in the University of the Philippines Diliman - the UP Economics
Society (UP Ecosoc), and the UP School of Economics Student Council (UP SESC). As two of the
University’s leading student organizations, we have embodied the values of honor and excellence
as we join our forces to amplify our collective vision of an empowered youth.
NYC believes in the holistic upbringing of the youth nationwide. It is our mission to introduce
them to fundamental economic concepts and deepen their understanding of the socio-political
environment they belong to. That is why NYC has become one of the country’s biggest forums for
high school students, catering to up to 300 students from around 60 public and private high
schools from all over the Philippines. After three successful years of online activations, NYC is
finally ready to bring everyone back onsite for its 20th iteration.
This year, NYC celebrates twenty years of creating spaces for fruitful discussion and engaging
members of the youth from all corners of the nation through the event’s long-awaited return to a
face-to-face setup. With the theme Milestones into Momentum: Twenty Years and Beyond of
Fostering an Equitable Nation, NYC 20 sets its focus on economic history as a tool in pursuing
progress and highlights the vital role of the youth in accelerating economic equity.
This iteration of NYC highlights the need for us as a society to retrospectively examine
significant economic and social transformations to become well-equipped in addressing
persisting economic disparities and social inequalities. The theme, casting light on the dynamic,
persistent, and conscientious efforts of the youth, seeks to spark empowerment and guidance in
mapping out the path to a sustainable and inclusive development–encompassing the past twenty
years, the present, and onward.
NYC 20 also sees the revival of the field trip, a tradition serving as the culmination of the event.
On the third day of NYC 20, we offer delegates the chance to be brought to a highly esteemed
institution to learn more about development as it comes into fruition in the real world.
In line with this, we would like to invite your school to be a part of this year’s congress. Attached
is the invitation for your school with all the relevant information about our event and registration
process. For any questions or concerns, you may contact the School Relations department at
schoolrelations.nyc20@gmail.com.
We look forward to receiving your favorable confirmation in forming a new generation of
economists and leaders who are well-equipped to work in the best interest of our country.
Thank you!

ABOUT
NATIONAL YOUTH CONGRESS
The National Youth Congress is the Philippines’ premier economics forum for top
high school students. The central goal of NYC is to annually convene students from
all over the Philippines and provide an avenue for the youth to engage in critical
discourse on pressing issues through an economic perspective. The core thrust of
the National Youth Congress is to foster ideas and to inspire progress for its yearly
influx of delegates through competitions, talks, and collaborative activities seeking
to cultivate camaraderie amongst a diverse set of participants.
Over the years, NYC has become a widely anticipated event. Tackling highly relevant
problems such as data and information, digitalization, and globalization, NYC has
grown in prestige nationwide through its continuous expansion, accreditation, and
hosting of several distinguished speakers.
VISION AND MISSION
The National Youth Congress is committed to be at the forefront of instilling
knowledge and social awareness in students from all over the Philippines, primarily
through the study of Economics and other social sciences. As NYC celebrates 20
years of fostering ideas and inspiring progress, it shall bring together members of
the youth who possess a common passion for nation-building and creating a lasting
impact, while returning to a face-to-face setup. Delving deep into historical
milestones, the 20th National Youth Congress aims to impart to the youth relevant
and thought-provoking information while promoting critical thinking by means of
insightful talks, interactive workshops, and collaborative competitions amongst
delegates.
Beyond the formation of collective thought, NYC 20 strives to mobilize the youth
towards collective action for the country’s sustainable development. Ultimately, NYC
strives to provide an avenue where students from all over the country can come
together to discuss, and learn about the pressing issues of Philippine society.
NYC 20 THEME
Milestones into
Momentum:
Twenty Years and Beyond of Fostering an Equitable Nation
In the National Youth Congress’s vicennial celebration, we reflect on the last twenty
years of opportunities, challenges, and unceasing change. Through a retrospective
analysis of significant economic and social transformations, we get to know our
society better–and beyond this, we are illuminated in our efforts to address the
persisting economic disparities and social inequalities we come to face. During this
process, we must also recognize the energy, dynamism, and conscientiousness of the
youth and understand the importance of their involvement in driving positive social
change. To create a more equitable society, it is crucial to adopt a forward-looking
approach that harnesses the potential of the younger generation.
With the theme Milestones into Momentum: Twenty Years and Beyond of Fostering
an Equitable Nation, the 20th National Youth Congress explores various issues and
social movements, aiming to promote a clear understanding of our nation as a whole,
a vision of 20/20. Informing the youth and steering them clear of disparities and
distortions, we empower them to take on a more active role in society. Ultimately,
NYC’s goal is to be a spark of guidance in mapping out the path to equity,
encompassing the past twenty years, the present, and onward–all the while seeking
to champion the youth and enkindle a passionate commitment to a sustainable,
collaborative, and inclusive development.

Should a student or teacher become unable to attend the conference, their registration and
delegate slot may be transferred to another participant or canceled by notifying any of the
School Relations Directors not later than October 18, Wednesday. You may do so by emailing
schoolrelations.nyc20@gmail.com or texting Mr. Blaine Cosico (0947 578 4349) or Ms. Via Dela
Peña (0956 801 1403) through their respective numbers. All substitution requests are subject to
the approval of the NYC 20 School Relations Team. Failure to request for substitution on or
before the deadline will forfeit the delegate slot.
Liability and Insurance
With paid registration, the participant acknowledges that they have no right to lodge claims
against the congress organizers should the event be altered, hindered, or prevented by
unexpected political or economic events, unpredictable forces of nature, speaker cancellations,
or other unforeseeable events.
The organizers do not accept any responsibility for individual medical, travel, or personal
insurance. Delegates are strongly advised to have their own travel insurance policies to cover
risks including, but not limited to, loss, cancellation, medical costs, and injury. The NYC 20
Organizing Body will not accept any responsibility for any delegate failing to take adequate
insurance.
Registration Fee Packages and Late Payments
All delegates are required to pay a registration fee for the congress. Please note that both
teacher and student delegates from the same school must avail of the same package. Failure to
pay the registration fee entails that the delegate will be barred from joining the event, and the
specifics of their stay are subject to the decision of the organizers.
Note that late payments, or payments made from October 26 - November 18 (NYC 20 Day 1), will
be subject to a penalty fee. Furthermore, if your school is officially part of this year’s congress
but is yet to pay past October 26, you will be required to pay a downpayment of Php 1,000 per
delegate (deductible from the chosen registration fee) that will serve as a security deposit.
Competition Entries
Competitions guidelines will be sent by October to schools who accomplished the Registration
Form. However, entries will only be officially recognized or acknowledged if the school
completed all Primary Requirements for registration. The NYC 20 Organizing Body will NOT
accept any entries from schools that are NOT officially registered. Please take note of the strict
deadline for Primary Requirements, which is on October 18, Wednesday.
OVERVIEW OF
REGISTRATION FORM
Please refer to the Registration Process section of this document for more
information. You may register through here: http://bit.ly/NYC20RegistrationForm
Aside from school and delegate information, the registration form will ask you to
confirm the list of participating delegates for the individual competitions. This
list is FINAL and changing participants is strictly not allowed, unless the delegate
cancels their slot or is substituted out of the congress.
Note that registered student delegates can join multiple competitions. However,
representatives for BLAZE and INK must not be the same because they will occur
at the same time. We highly encourage assigning different delegates for different
competitions to diversify their experience.
