        Kient Jerwin V. Tungala, former president of the Future Leaders of the Philippines Burias Chapter, with Dr. Archile C. Abogadie, Student Affairs and Services (SAS) Chairperson, of Capiz State University (CAPSU) Burias Campus joined 2022 Philippine Young Leader’s Convergence (PYLC) on Oct. 12-15 at General Santos City.

        As a response to the post-pandemic setting challenge and to serve as an avenue for young leaders to realize the various aspects of social issues and create sustainable solutions, the Global Institute for Youth Development, Inc. hosted 2022 PYLC, which was attended by leaders from different parts of the country.

         The program primer of the 2022 PYLC states that: “The program is intended for young leaders to take up space and create a diverse network where they can share and align ideas and solutions together. Further, it also aims to craft the 2022 Philippine Youth Agenda for Sustainable Development, to be proposed as a policy recommendation to various UN offices and national government agencies, in its effort of helping advance the 2030 Agenda in the Philippines, and of promoting the involvement of the youth in helping realize the Sustainable Development Goals.”

         The two Capsunian representatives got involved in the discussion and provision of solutions to address the different challenges of the post-pandemic setting as the student-leader and a faculty member from CAPSU Burias partook in the aforementioned event.

        “CAPSU does not only produce globally competitive students, but also leaders who could create a huge impact to the community,” Tungala commented.
