Federation of Payatas Youth Leaders
History
The Federation of Payatas Youth Leaders represents a new generation of empowered and visionary youth, born from the historic 1st Payatas Youth Parliament—a transformative three-day initiative led by the award-winning Sangguniang Kabataan of Barangay Payatas. Concluding on April 13, 2025, this groundbreaking event marked a pivotal moment for the youth sector of the community, laying the groundwork for sustained civic engagement and participatory governance.
Over the course of the program, participants—young leaders from diverse backgrounds—demonstrated exceptional passion and discipline. They immersed themselves in the intricacies of parliamentary procedures, embraced the responsibilities of legislative work, and honed their skills through rigorous debate, policy-making simulations, and hands-on drafting of proposed resolutions and ordinances that address real issues affecting the youth and the broader community.
What emerged from this experience was more than a training ground, it was the birth of a unified voice for the youth of Payatas. The newly formed Federation is now guided by the principles of ethical leadership, transparency, inclusivity, and civic responsibility. These young parliamentarians have committed themselves to being champions of youth empowerment, advocates for social justice, and catalysts for lasting, community-driven change. With courage, conviction, and a strong foundation of democratic practice, they are poised to become an influential force—shaping a brighter, more equitable future for the youth of Barangay Payatas and beyond.
