Foundations and Rationale of BMYO

SECTION 1. Title - This Act shall be known as the " Youth in Nation-

Building Act".

SECTION 2. Policy - The State recognizes its responsibility to enable

the youth to fulfill their vital role in nation-building and hereby

establishes the National Comprehensive and Coordinated Program on

Youth Development, creates the structures to implement the same

and appropriate adequate funds to provide support for the program

and implementing structures on a continuing sustained basis.

The State hereby declares that "Youth" is the critical period in a

person’s growth and development from the onset of adolescence towards

the peak of mature, self-reliant and responsible adulthood comprising the

considerable sector of the population from the age of fifteen (15) to thirty

(30) years.

The State further declares the National Comprehensive and Coordinated Program

on Youth Development shall be based on the following principles:

(a) Promotion and protection of the physical, moral, spiritual, intellectual and social well-

being of the youth to the end that the youth realize their potential for improving the quality

of life;

(b) Inculcation in the youth of patriotism, nationalism and other basic desirable values to

infuse in them faith in the Creator, belief in the sanctity of life and dignity of the human

person, conviction for the strength and unity of the family and adherence to truth and

justice;

(c) Encouragement of youth involvement in character-building and development activities

for civic-efficiency, stewardship of natural resources, agricultural and industrial productivity,

and an understanding of world economic commitments on tariffs an trade and participation

in structures for policy-making and program implementation to reduce the incidence of

poverty and accelerate socioeconomic development; and

(d) Mobilization of youth’s abilities, talents and skills and redirecting their creativity,

inventive genius and wellspring of enthusiasm and hope for the freedom of our people from

organization: it is actually the same mission and concern, only that it

is directed towards a special sector of our town and carried out in a

special kind of strategy and style.
