CAPITOL NEWS
Lingayen – PROVINCIAL officials present during the 2nd Youth Leadership Summit held at the Narciso Ramos Sports and Civic Center (NRSCC) gymnasium on November 10 exhorted about 4,000 youth leaders from various schools in Lingayen to “instil among themselves the vital virtues of discipline, love and respect as foundations of their life.”
In his keynote speech as guest of honor and speaker, Governor Amado T. Espino, Jr., emphasized to the participants that discipline must be learned and preserved to harmonize with four factors that shape the well-being of an individual which include the family, the community, schools and the church.
The youth leadership summit conducted by the Lingayen District Hospital (LDH) led by Chief of Hospital Athena Marie Merrera served as an avenue for the youth to learn insights on the leadership styles undertaken by present-day leaders which they can emulate as youth leaders in their respective schools.
Vice Governor Jose Ferdinand Z. Calimlim, Jr., on the other hand, reiterated to the young Pangasinenses “to love their respective communities and the province of Pangasinan, value education, and refrain from the ill-ways of living, including peer pressure for illegal drugs.”
Meanwhile, Board Member and Liga ng mga Barangay Provincial President Amado ‘Pogi’ Espino, III, asked the students to give due respect to the efforts and sacrifices of their parents and relatives, and teachers who help them develop a good character, and live with self-respect.
The young Espino, who has been a public servant for 14 years, likewise urged the youth “not to rush on things which might lead them to the wrong direction.”
Participating youth leaders were from Pangasinan State University Lingayen Campus, Pangasinan School of Arts and Trades, Pangasinan National High School, Lingayen 1 Central School, Magsaysay Elementary School, Adelphi College and Lingayen Technological Institute. /Mark Gerry Naval Oblanca
