INTRODUCTION & RATIONALE
The Laoang Youth Summit (LYS) 2024 trumpets a resounding call to action! Organized
by the LGU-Laoang through the Sangguniang Kabataan Federation (SK Federation) and
Local Youth Development Office (LYDO), in collaboration with esteemed partners like
the Municipal Social Welfare and Development Office (MSWDO), PYAP Laoang Chapter,
Local Youth Development Council (LYDC), and Gios Kabataan, the LYS promises a week
brimming with empowerment, inspiration, and action.

We stand at a crossroads, a pivotal moment where the vibrant energy and clear vision
of Laoang's youth are paramount in shaping a brighter future for our beloved
community. This year's summit, aptly themed "Pakigbisug" (meaning struggle,
endurance, and strength in Waray), serves as a powerful catalyst to ignite the spirit of
collaboration and unwavering determination within our young leaders.

The world craves the unwavering spirit of Pakigbisug now more than ever. By bringing
together the brightest young minds from across Laoang, the LYS fosters a nurturing
platform for:

Shared Vision and Unity: Cultivating a profound sense of unity and purpose amongst
Laoang's youth. This is fostered through the collaborative efforts of LGU-Laoang, SK
Federation, LYDO, MSWDO, PYAP Laoang, LYDC, and Gios Kabataan. These
organizations come together to create a space where diverse perspectives can
converge, and a shared vision for Laoang's future can be sculpted.

Empowering Discussions: Engaging in critical dialogues on issues that hold

significant weight for both the youth and the broader Laoang community. Partner
organizations like MSWDO and PYAP Laoang will provide valuable guidance, ensuring
these discussions are not only insightful but also actionable.

Actionable Solutions: Developing practical solutions and strategies to address the

challenges faced by our community. The LYS empowers young leaders to translate
their ideas into tangible action plans, supported by the resources and expertise of
our partnering institutions.

Building a Network of Strength: Fostering connections and collaboration between

young leaders from diverse backgrounds. This summit aims to create a strong,
interconnected network, ensuring that the spirit of Pakigbisug continues to resonate
beyond the LYS week. This network will serve as the backbone for future youth-led
initiatives and a springboard for a more vibrant Laoang.

The Laoang Youth Summit is more than just a gathering; it's a movement. It's a
testament to the unwavering belief in the power of our youth to become active
participants in shaping a stronger, more vibrant Laoang. Through the collaborative
spirit of Pakigbisug, we, together with our dedicated network of partners, can propel
Laoang towards a brighter future. Let the LYS 2024 be the spark that ignites a fire of
change, fueled by the collective strength and vision of Laoang's youth!
