MANILA — Senator Bong Go has joined the celebration of Filipino Youth Day, citing the importance of the occasion to provide opportunities for the youth to reach their “full potential.”
“Ito ay isang mahalagang okasyon upang bigyang halaga ang sektor ng kabataan at tiyaking mabigyan sila ng sapat na oportunidad upang maabot ang kanilang buong potensyal,” Go said.
“Ang selebrasyong ito ay kasabay ng kapanganakan ni Dr. Jose Rizal, na kilala sa kanyang pagkilala sa potensyal ng mga kabataan bilang pag-asa ng ating bayan.”
Go continues to support various initiatives that strengthen the potential of the youth.
In January, the senator pushed an increase in funding for the 2024 National Youth Commission budget.
“Our youth are not just the future of our nation but are also its present strength. By empowering them through the Philippine Youth Development Plan Advocacy Project, we are ensuring that they have the tools and opportunities they need to contribute meaningfully to our society,” he said.
