|The DOrSU University Peer Facilitators (UPF) proudly celebrates a meaningful recognition received during the Seal of Good Youth Governance (SGYG) Gabi ng Parangal held on September 26, 2026, at the Sambuokan Hall, City Hall Compound, City of Mati, Davao Oriental.

With grateful hearts, we received the Plaque of the Seal of Good Youth Governance in recognition and sincere appreciation of our organization’s sustained membership, institutional stability, and continued active participation in the City of Mati Youth Development Council from Calendar Year 2022 through 2026.

Having retained our membership across successive LYDC terms, this recognition reflects the organization’s longevity, commitment, and active involvement in youth governance, as we continue to contribute to meaningful youth participation, empowerment, and inclusive youth development in the City of Mati.

This milestone reminds us that service is not measured only by the years we have been present, but by the consistency with which we choose to serve, participate, and create spaces where young people are heard and empowered. The plaque was received on behalf of the organization by our UPF Vice President,Rieanne Angela Tugotan, whose presence represented the collective efforts and commitment of every UPF member.

To the City of Mati Youth Development Council and the Seal of Good Youth Governance, thank you for recognizing our continued journey in youth service. May this recognition inspire us to remain peers who care, serve with purpose, and continue making a difference.

Ka-Tata, we invite you to listen to the voices of your fellow peers in our first episode of “Kumusta Ka? Ka-Tata.” Their stories are personal. Their experiences are different. Their ways of coping are unique but together, they remind us of something important:

𝗞𝗨𝗠𝗨𝗦𝗧𝗔 𝗞𝗔, 𝗞𝗔-𝗧𝗔𝗧𝗔? | 𝗘𝗣𝗜𝗦𝗢𝗗𝗘 𝟭

In the middle of busy schedules, academic responsibilities, personal challenges, and everything in between, we often hear ourselves saying, “Okay lang ako.”

But what happens when we take a moment to ask, “𝘒𝘶𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘢 𝘬𝘢 𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘨𝘢?”

Introducing “𝗞𝘂𝗺𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮 𝗞𝗮? 𝗞𝗮-𝗧𝗮𝘁𝗮,” a special initiative brought to you by your University Peer Facilitators, created to check in with our fellow Ka-Tata, listen to their stories, and give them a safe and welcoming space to share their voices.

Through Kumusta Ka? Ka-Tata, we hope to discover these stories and create a space where our peers can openly share what helps them navigate life as students. More importantly, we hope that by sharing these experiences, one Ka-Tata can become a source of comfort for another. Maybe someone's story will remind you that you're not the only one struggling with deadlines, that someone's way of coping will give you an idea of something healthy you can try, and hearing someone talk about the person they consider their safe place will remind you to appreciate the people who are there for you.

This is why we believe that asking “Kumusta ka?” should not end with the question. Our experiences may be different, but there are feelings and struggles that connect us. And when we give each other the opportunity to speak, listen, and understand, we help build a community where no one has to feel like they have to face everything alone.

So, Ka-Tata, we invite you to listen to the voices of your fellow peers in our first episode of “Kumusta Ka? Ka-Tata.” Their stories are personal. Their experiences are different. Their ways of coping are unique but together, they remind us of something important:

𝘐𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘰𝘬𝘢𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘪𝘨𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘶𝘵.
𝘐𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘰𝘬𝘢𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘴𝘬 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵.
𝘐𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘰𝘬𝘢𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘢 𝘱𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘰𝘬𝘢𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘭𝘦𝘵 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭.

This Su***de Prevention Month, let us come together to create a community where compassion, understanding, and support are at the heart of how we care for one another.

Let us take the time to check in on our peers, listen without judgment, and offer our support. We may never fully know what someone else is going through, but we can choose to be present, to listen, and to remind them that they are valued. A simple “How are you?” can open the door to a meaningful conversation, while a kind word or a supportive presence can make someone feel less alone.

Let us foster an environment where asking for help is welcomed, conversations about mental health are met with compassion, and reaching out is never something to be ashamed of. We can help break the stigma by creating spaces where people feel safe to express what they are going through and seek the support they need.

May we continue to be advocates for kindness, empathy, and peer support. We may not always have the answers, and we do not have to solve everything. Sometimes, simply listening and being there can be the most meaningful form of support we can offer.

This month, and beyond, let us choose to look out for one another, listen with compassion, speak with kindness, and remind each other of our worth.

You are seen. You are heard. You are valued. You matter.
