Inspiring Change Through Leadership at YOUth CAN DOn IT Year 2
Leadership is not just about holding a positionโit is about creating positive change, inspiring others, and leading with purpose. With this in mind, the Supreme Secondary Learners Government (SSLG), together with the YES-O and BKD of Candon City High School, proudly attended the YOUth CAN DOn IT: Leadership Symposium Year 2, held at the Schools Division Office of Candon City annex building 4th floor on June 13, 2026.
Two outstanding guest speakers graced the symposium. One of them was Atty. Connie Joy Omaeong Manzano, who discussed the topic "Safe Spaces Act" and emphasized the importance of creating respectful, inclusive, and secure environments for everyone. The other speaker was ASDD Mar Go of JCI Philippines Visayas, who shared valuable insights on "Leadership in the Digital Age," inspiring student leaders to adapt, innovate, and lead responsibly in an increasingly digital world.
After the symposium, our Vice Mayor, Kristelle Singson, awarded the Young Leaders Excellence Award (YLEA) to 15 student leaders. Among the awardees were Elmira Jane D. Gagto, SSLG President of Candon City High School, and Vic M. Oliveros, YES-O President of Candon City High School.
Congratulations to all the awardees and participants for continuously embodying excellence, leadership, and service. Together, let us continue proving that YOUth CAN DOn IT!
