MAGALLANES YOUTHWISE

A day filled with learning, connection, and genuine care.

We extend our sincere appreciation to everyone who took part in today’s Capacity Building Seminar: “Gets Kita Bagets”—a meaningful gathering that brought together parents and frontliners, united by one goal: to better understand, support, and care for our adolescents.

Through shared stories, guided conversations, and compassionate teaching, we were reminded that behind every young person is a community willing to listen, guide, and love.

Maraming salamat sa ating facilitators and partners for sharing your time, wisdom, and heart. Together, we continue to build safer spaces and stronger relationships for the next generation.
