YesPinoy celebrated 5 years of YES: programs for Young people, fighting for the cause of Education and Serving the country especially in times of need.
The anniversary was held in Angeles University Foundation and was co-sponsored by GMA Network. More than 2,000 young people attended and participated in the afternoon full of learning, fun and surprises.
Mike Enriquez gave a talk on New Media and how values is at the bedrock of any media personality or advocate. Ivan Mayrina followed that up with tips on Responsible Social Media use. Questions were raised by the students on both topics.
Gabby Eigenmann entertained the whole arena with his song number, and then the YesPinoy panel started.
YesPinoy gathered a panel of advocates and advocacies to encourage the youth to go out there and do something for those who need it most. Among the panelists were Dino Badilla, Executive Director of SeaOil Foundation; Mon Abrea, Chief Strategy Office of CSR Philippines; Doji Bringas, CEO of The Steps Project; Betty Romero, Deputy Director of Lifeline Foundation and Support Team; Kimmy Flaviano, Country Manager of Smile Train Philippines.
They were joined on stage by Dingdong Dantes, Chairman of YesPinoy and it was moderated by Inspirational Speaker and Author Michaelangelo Lobrin. They spoke on their advocacies which ranged from finances to education to health to active lifestyle, and they all challenged the young to go out there and be involved.
