4TH YOUTH POVERTY REDUCTION CHALLENGE 2021 WINNERS KINILALA

SA pagkilala sa kanilang pagpupursige na puksain ang kahirapan sa kabila ng hamon ng Covid pandemic, pinangunahan nina dating DPWH Secretary Mark Villar, Deputy Speaker Camille Villar, Vista Land President and Chief Executive Officer Mr. Paolo Villar at Sen. Cynthia Villar ang awarding ceremonies sa 4th Youth Poverty Reduction Challenge, at binati ang mga nagwagi rito.

“We know it is more challenging this year because of the situation we are all in, but you all rose to the occasion despite the challenges. We hope you will continue your winning ways in helping our fellow Filipinos beat poverty,” pahayag ni Sen. Villar sa mga nanalo.

Kinilala ni Rep. Villar ang ‘selfless act’ ng mga kabataan sa pagtulong sa kanilang komunidad at napiling beneficiaries para hanguin sila sa kahirapan ngayong pinakamahalaga ang self-preservation sa ating kinakaharap na health and economic crisis.

“This is youth empowerment. You have proven that despite your young age, you can maximize your potential to bring the much-need hope and joy to your communities,” ayon pa sa kanya.

Pahayag ni dating Sec. Villar sa mga kabataan, “Let this awarding remind you that we believe in you and in the causes of your social enterprises. ”

Sinabi niya na layunin ng programa na hindi lamang hikayatin ang mga kabataan na mag negosyo para sa kita o kabuhayan. “It goes beyond just lifting you and your family from the cycle of impoverished life. This is also about change,” sabi pa ng dating Cabinet official.

“Through the deeds and little causes you advocate with your social enterprises, you spark change for the betterment of our society,” dagdag pa niya.

Isang kumpetisyon ang Villar SIPAG Youth Poverty Reduction Challenge upang himukin ang mga kabataan sa social enterprises at palakasin ang youth organizations. Hangad nito na magkaroon ng mahalagang epekto ang social enterprises sa pagpapababa ng antas ng kahirapan sa mga komunidad.
