“Nowadays, our most important resource is being left out: the young people who want to make a change. Young people can change the world. Sometimes, establishments don’t work. It’s up to us to find a way to do what we want.” -ID

ReplyDeleteI agree with this quote by Mr. Illac.
As cliché as his declaration may sound, the words of our national hero Dr. Jose Rizal still resonate up to this day: “Ang kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan.”
More than awards and recognition are the responsibility that comes with it.
Gone are the days of just nodding or shaking heads. The youth of today are now more vocal and expressive of what they think and feel.
