More attention is given to youth under new laws: solon.

Three new laws that will support the growth of young Filipinos as future leaders and useful members of society have been passed, and senator Sonny Angara is grateful for them.

He claimed on Thursday that the government can now implement more programs for the youth and give them the attention they deserve as a result of the recent passage into law of Republic Acts (RA) 11913, or the National Youth Day Act, RA 11915, or the National Music Competitions for Young Artists, and RA 11910, or the Summer Youth Camp Act.

“Our nation’s overall growth and development depend on us making investments in our youth. In contrast, failing to do so will result in several issues that will undo all of our previous progress, according to a statement from Angara.

The National Youth Commission (NYC), the Department of Education, the Commission on Higher Education, and the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority are urged to discuss career paths, the Sustainable Development Goals, the preservation of the environment, gender equality, and mental health on August 12 of every year, concurrent with the International Youth Day that was declared by the United Nations under RA 11913.

While the provincial and local youth development offices are encouraged to prepare annual programs and activities that offer holistic development and enrichment of the youth in their respective communities, these government offices are also encouraged to come up with activities such as leadership training, youth empowerment, workshops, basic mass integration, and community immersion.

However, RA 11915 designates the National Music Competitions for Young Artists (NAMCYA) as the Philippine National Youth Development Program for Music, which will act as a conduit for the identification of the nation’s most outstanding musical talents, the training of musicians, the preservation, development, and promotion of Philippine music as an art form, and the implementation of an ongoing program of research, documentation, and publication of Philippine music.

By institutionalizing the annual Summer Youth Camps program, RA 11910 hopes to foster in young people a sense of civic duty, patriotism, altruism, and leadership by giving the Sangguniang Kabataan the responsibility of organizing, carrying out, overseeing, and evaluating youth camps in their localities.

They are also tasked with creating modules for classes on topics like current affairs and issues affecting youth, teamwork and communication, conflict resolution, creating an inclusive environment, leadership, and parliamentary procedure, as well as writing, research, editing, illustration, and publication. They are also expected to develop modules for courses on public speaking, sports and fitness, mental wellness, including training for youth pregnancies, digital skill development, entrepreneurship and livelihood skills training, and cultural awareness with the local community.
