COTABATO CITY (October 13, 2022)—The Bangsamoro Youth Commission (BYC) through Commissioner Nasserudin Dunding served as a panelist during the Parliamentary Outreach Program of the United Voices for Peace Network (UVPN) on Wednesday, October 12, 2022 at University of Southern Mindanao (USM) Kabacan.
The said activity aims to raise awareness about the current legislative developments and successes in the Bangsamoro Parliament with in-school youth in BARMM.
It also sought to demonstrate the influence of those legislations in the current programming of the Bangsamoro government ministries
and offices, as well as the CSO sector.
Commissioner Dunding presented the Commission’s programs and initiatives centered on youth development.
“Hindi ibig sabihin na wala kayo sa area of jurisdiction ng BARMM ay wala ng pake ang Bangsamoro Government sa inyo. The BARMM Government through the BYC ensures our kabataang Bangsamoro in different areas to be involved with our programs. Meanwhile, your part as youth is to involve yourselves in the process,” Dunding said.
“We need the youth who can impart in strengthening, sustaining, and protecting the gains of the peace process,” he added.
Meanwhile, UVPN Program Manager Abqary A. Alon discussed BARMM Parliamentary System and Legislative Successes, especially in the Education/Youth Sector and Future Policy Directions in the Parliament.
Atty. Abdel Disangcopan, Director of Statutory Committee Support Services of the Bangsamoro Parliament presented the Legislative initiatives in the Parliament that address youth/students’ concerns and welfare.
UVPN Executive Director Jelfaad J. Salik, RN, discussed the Policy Direction of the CSO Sector that aligns with the Bangsamoro Government’s call for Moral Governance.
The outreach which seeks to inform the youth about the current successes and priorities of the Bangsamoro Parliament will also be conducted to identified areas of the region. (BYC PR Unit/AAA)
