The city of Dipolog, province of Zamboanga Del Norte, standing out among Mindanao’s provinces, has been selected through aspiring student leaders to represent the Philippine Youth Leadership Program (PYLP), visioning to be the beacon of inspiration in the community.

This achievement fills us with immense pride and honor.

Aynsley C. Tagulob, a resident of Cogon, Dipolog City, a Grade 11 student from the Philippine Science High School in Cogon, Dipolog City, proudly represents the Philippines at PYLP 2024. Carrying the Philippine flag with pride, she journeys to the United States of America, standing among the selected few Filipino youth participants.

The PYLP is a program funded by the U.S. Department of State that empowers aspiring young student leaders from diverse communities across Mindanao. Through a series of immersed trainings and team-building experiences, it capacitates them to pioneer innovative solutions for community development and advocate social justice within their respective regions and provinces.

Additionally, the said program is supported by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs youth exchange programs, aiming to develop enduring connections between the United States and the Philippines. Collaborating with Northern Illinois University in Dekalb, Illinois, USA, the program cherishes meaningful partnerships and exchanges to nurture mutual relations.

Upon their return to the Philippines following a month-long intensive training, Aynsley and the other participants will put their self-led projects into action, fostering social progress.
