KALIPI Hold Youth Leadership Camp in Ilocos Sur

By Arlene Concepcion

The Kabataang Liberal ng Pilipinas (KALIPI) held a three-day Youth Leadership Camp from November 17-19, 2006 at the Marina Resort in Santiago, Ilocos Sur with the theme, “KALIPI: Spreading the Flame of its Legacy” for the students of University of Northern Philippines (UNP) which was organized by the KALIPI-UNP chapter in coordination with the KALIPI National Headquarters.

It was a jam-packed feat as it gathers eighty (80) students from the different colleges of UNP and was facilitated by Arlene Concepcion, Glorivy-Nysa Tolentino, Fidel Esteban, Jeff Reyes, Unico Bautista, Ivy Ganadillo, Maridel Ferrer, Mhaezee Platero, Arrant Lee Arroyo, Rachel Ann Bersamera, Julie Ann Turqueza, Jepoy Ragragio and Franz Robert dela Vega.

Camp activities were headed by the KALIPI-NCR Chairman, Mr. Eric Caliboso. The KALIPI Secretary General, Prof. Jan Argy Tolentino, gave an inspirational discussion about leadership.

“It was a tremendous experience! At the beginning of the camp it was as if we were in the reality game show ‘Amazing Race’, and we had to accomplish tasks before we can go to the next activity”, Arrianne Aggarao, this year’s best camper said.

“The sun was beating while we were doing the Obstacle race, Who’s behind, and Treasure hunting but it was all worth the sweat and energy we lost since we had a lot of fun”, Jilmar Villalun added.

“It was far different from what we expected in a usual leadership camp that involves a lot of talks and workshops and sit the whole day”, KALIPI-UNP Chapter president Janice Fabre said, “It helped strengthen our relationships with other members which is very important for us to have better coordination in the organization”.


“This activity aims to develop and build leaders who will continue to apply the thoughts and lessons of a young liberal”, Ilocos Sur Board Member Zuriel Zaragoza, KALIPI Executive Vice-President said. “The participants had undergone different activities that would strengthen their talents and abilities as well as their cooperation within the group” he said further.
