FOI Youth Ambassadors Camp - IloIlo Leg Highlights [27-29 Aug 2024]

𝐅𝐎𝐈 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡! 𝐅𝐎𝐈 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐲𝐚𝐬!
The Freedom of Information Program Management Office (FOI-PMO) of the Presidential Communications Office (PCO) successfully hosted the 𝐅𝐎𝐈 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐦𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐂𝐚𝐦𝐩 - 𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐲𝐚𝐬 leg from August 27 to 29, 2024, at the Grand Xing Imperial Hotel in Iloilo City.

Over 60 student leaders from government bodies and university publications, along with faculty members, from State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) across the Visayas region participated in the event.

Throughout the three days, these young leaders gained valuable insights into the Freedom of Information Program, including its conceptual, legal, and practical aspects. The program also included communication and youth mobilization training by Ms. Abigail Gonzales Amon from Team Dugong Bughaw, and a practical introduction to financial inclusion by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas - Financial Inclusion Office.

As an integral part of FOI-PMO's information, education, and communications campaign, the camp aimed to empower the youth in exercising their right to information and to forge strong relationships with key youth-mobilizing organizations.

The FOI-PMO team is excited for what's in store in the upcoming Mindanao and Luzon camps! Stay tuned for more updates.
