Filipino Young People

Get support for the K-12 program wherever we can get them. 

Thankfully, some Taiwanese are still kind not to condemn and attack innocent migrant Filipino workers amid the political crisis of Taiwan and the Philippines

What if our youth camps were not only about "Spiritual" feeding and training and more about reaching out to others? What if we can make an impact in the community, not in the usual "evangelistic / preaching" kind of thing? 

Baka mas maramdaman ang Christian witness ng mga tao sa paligid natin. Watchatink? 

British young people are increasingly becoming not-Christians.

I wonder if Islam will fill in Christianity's shoes should the latter become a minority religion by 2018. 

"For the first time, the proportion of under-25s who don’t describe themselves as even nominal Christians has risen above 50 per cent. Also, the new breakdown shows that the rate of decline in British Christianity has been masked by the presence of 1.2 million foreign believers in this country."

Mga tropa, are you still learning?

According to some studies, a lot of young people are no longer learning beyond the age of 17.

Alarming naman yan.

For me, it's fulfilling to learn something new, unlearn bad habits, get new skills and do something new. It brings excitement and a worthy use of my time. 

Siempre, learning is not just about reading books or attending classes. It means understanding a little bit more about our world and finding our place in it.

Ahmmm.. For some, yeah, it figures. Hahah

Can this present system deal with the rampant unemployment of young people? 

"The global economic and social crisis urgently requires collective action from public policy, the private sector, trade unions and other actors. Globally, we need a coordinated macroeconomic response that puts jobs first, especially for young people. Growth does not happen without people working."

Haaay, marami talagang social costs ang OFW phenomenon.

Everywhere around the world, young people do not find agriculture a good career prospect. They would rather go to the cities and crowd it out with other job seekers.

We, young people need to be more concerned with the environment. 

Thanks Manny Pacquiao for supporting the advocacy of the Visayan Forum in helping young people rescue Filipino Youth from human traffickers.

This isn't really a surprise. I'm still young (30 flat. heheh) and I prefer reading on a screen now than on good ol'd paper. It's easier to read and find information I need. 

In the Philippines, since we're dealing with the digital divide, do you think this will ever come true?

Whether the studies are conclusive or not, we should probably reduce time spent in front of screens and spend more time with people "offline"

Hmmm.. Does history repeat itself? 

Themes of alienation among young people seems to be present everywhere. 

“Populations of young adults…are especially explosive when combined with the revolution in communication technology,” he warned in his book, Strategic Vision. “Often educated but unemployed, their resulting frustration and alienation” leaves them “susceptible to ideological agitation and revolutionary mobilization.”

For a lot of young Filipinos, going to the US seems like the ticket to a good life. Well, this US envoy encourages young people to take the high road and do something better. 

One day, Jesus was surrounded by adults asking questions about how to be a super-important person in God’s kingdom. And Jesus answered by patting a kid on the head and telling those adults that they needed to become more like him—the youngest in their midst.

What if not only young people, but also adults, are smitten by the bombastic campaign lines of the not-so-learned youth endorsers or campaign leaders? Can these fans’ multimillion votes mirror the victory of the best or the most qualitative among the candidates?
