NEW LEADERS, SAME GOALS: RCYC General Meeting & Turn-Over Ceremony!
Our Red Cross Youth Council (RCYC) officially started a brand new chapter!
Today, June 19, 2026, at 3:00 PM, the RCYC family gathered at the Grade 12 HE Room of Pili National High School for a day full of big updates, exciting plans, and a lot of inspiration.
It was started by listening to the Red Cross Hymn and reviewing the core principles of the Red Cross. Here is a quick look at what we talked about:
✨ Duties & Responsibilities: Clearly defining roles so we can work smoothly as one team.
👕 Design Our New Polo Shirt! We are planning to change our official polo shirt layout, and every single RCYC member can submit their own design suggestion!
🏆 Upcoming Events: Planning ahead for big school events where our volunteers will be active and ready to help.
🎒 Turn Over Ceremony

We wrapped up the day proudly singing the Red Cross Song. Let’s give a big round of applause to both teams! Good luck to our new leaders, and thank you to everyone who joined us. Let’s make this an amazing year, RCYC! ❤️
The Officers thank their Adviser, Ms. Judy Ann Salubong, for her guidance, patience, and for teaching them that leadership means service. They also thank their Principal, Mrs. Maribel M. Alcantara for her trust and support, which made every RCYC project possible.
