In a groundbreaking initiative, Luis Gabriel Lapuz of Gapan City College, the Editor in Chief of The Shepherdess and Vice President for External Affairs of Junior ALCU Philippines, participated in the Episode 3 of Act Now! Para sa Kabataan, Karapatan at Kalikasan of Woke D’Talk 2024 of the Task Force Detainees of the Philippines (TFDP) on February 10.
The conversation aims to amplify the voices of the younger generation, particularly those deeply involved in advocating for human rights and addressing climate-related challenges.
“May character. May kakayahan. May kakaibang kinalalagayan ‘yong henerasyon ng mga kabataan ngayon. Actually, noong panahon na kami ang kabataan, kami naman ‘yong may kakayahan, ‘yong mga masisigla, mga creative. Hanggang ngayon, ganun pa rin syempre. Bawat henerasyon ng mga kabataan, kayo po ay significant. Lalo’t lalo na po (para sa) kinubukasan niyo, sa pinaghahandaan ng lahat. ” Mr. Edgar Cabalitan, the TFDP Advocacy Staff, said.
Joining Lapuz were Shy Saligan Ali Enolilang, Tri-People Youth Adviser ng CMEM and SK Secretary ng Poblacion, Columbio, Sultan Kudarat, and Enrique Beren, Secretary-General of Young Bean.
“Para po sa ating mga kabataan, minsan po maliit man ang dating sa’tin o mahina man ang tinig na naririnig [mula] sa’tin ng mga nasa kapangyarihan o ng ibang tao- minamaliit man nila tayo. Huwag po tayong sumuko o tumigil [na] kahit anong porma ay ipaglaban natin ang ating kalikasan. Kasi, tayo bilang parte ng lipunan ang siyang magmamana ng mga aksyon, at ang mga bagay po na gagawin natin ang siyang magiging susi,” said Lapuz in his closing message.
