According to Mr. Villasis, “Being chosen as one of the qualified participants during the Youth Proyekto Philippines application and selection processes is both an honor and a privilege. An honor to represent my campus, Capiz State University Burias Campus, and a privilege to attend a leadership training and gain new knowledge and experience.”

The leadership training included Soft Skill and Fundamental Sessions, as well as a leadership drill wherein the participating leaders were shaken through the twists and turns of the event programs, intentionally designed to test their adversity management behaviors.

“It is my sincere hope that the knowledge and experience we have gained in the training will not only benefit ourselves, but also our respective communities in order to do better and serve better,” Mr. Villasis added.

The training intends to equip the student-leaders to be true and ready Proyektropas and expects them to be victors above adversities.
