There's another side to the seeming
carefree attitude of Bohol's youth. Beneath the frolicking and fun- nature was
the commitment and the concern for the community and we saw this last night.
Habitat Youth BUILD, a movement that
engages young people to raise funds for, and awareness of, the poverty housing
situation in the Asia- pacific region, was launched at the Holy Name University
Oval last night
When YouthLEADPhilippines ' John Maraguinot, a former student of mine sent
me a text invitation to the event , I couldn't say no. John has been one of the
most hardworking leaders of Bohol and he truly inspires
Happy to see Thea
Ivory Parras my former Grade Six advisory pupil and now the HNU
Central Student Government Council President as she welcomed participants to
the kick- off event

More
than a thousand pledges of commitment from the youth to help build 8000+ houses
in all 17 municipalities were gathered.

It
was heartwarming to see everyone forget political affiliations and work toward
one goal.
Former
rivals in the election, Cesar Montano and Gov. Edgar Chatto were seen in a
playful banter with Habitat for Humanity's CEO Charlie Ayco during the press
conference held earlier.
