After a series of productive and engaging activities, the UPV Sibika Hub ended its year-long advocacy with a public service discussion last May 27, 2023 at the GCEB Training room, where the student leaders coming from different high schools participated.
Participants included students from U.P. High School in Iloilo (UPHSI) and six DepEd schools namely: Iloilo City National High School (ICNHS), Jalandoni National High School (JNHS), Jaro National High School (JNHS), Lapaz National High School (LPNHS), Mandurriao National High School (MNHS), and Ramon Magsaysay National High School (RANHS).
The discourse aims for the participants mentioned above to have a social interaction that would engage them in the idea of volunteerism through a string of workshops prepared by Prof. Donne Jone Sodusta, who is a member of the UPV-Sibika Hub Committee and the resource speaker. He highlighted the importance of youth leaders in citizenship and civic engagement through his talk “(Re)imaging Youth-Driven Service Learning: Identifying our Resources and Filling in the Gaps,” which focused on service- learning.
Mr. Candido M. Golez lll, Project Development Officer and Youth Formation from the Division of Iloilo City along with several Supreme Student Government (SSG) advisers of the partaker schools, were also present in the initiative.
The members of the UPV Sibika Hub committee would like to extend their gratitude to the sponsors and the entrants for making the recent undertaking successful and meaningful.
