City Dads to Tackle 26 Resolutions Passed by Youth Leaders

Cagayan De Oro City (PNA) -– The local august body here would tackle 26 resolutions of varied subjects endorsed by 34 youth leaders who took over the reign of the city government last week.

City Councilor Ramon Tabor, chair of the city council committee on laws, said Tuesday that the city council has started to review the proposed resolutions passed by the youth leaders under the “Rotary Youth 2015” program.

The 34 youth leaders, most of them coming from public secondary schools in some of the city’s hinterland villages, took over the reign of the city government in “mock governance” Thursday last week.

The local Rotary club selected the youth leaders who initiated a mock takeover of the affairs of the city’s executive, legislative, and judicial departments.

Aside from exposing the youth to the various workings of the city government, they also undertook disaster training under the auspices of the City Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council (CDRRMC).

City Councilor Edna Dahino, chair of the city council committee on women and family relations, said that the youth successfully completed the Basic First Aid and Basic Life Support Orientation Workshop of the CDRRMC.

Dahino also lauded the youth for passing resolutions, most of them intended to benefit the schools and the villages in the city’s rural and urban centers.

Rey Pauran, a student of Tuburan National High School -Pigsag-an Annex, outskirt village in Cagayan De Oro City, expressed the gratitude to the Rotary Club of Cagayan de Oro for sponsoring the program.

In a speech during the culmination of the program last Friday, Pauran said that despite the limited time of the “mock training,” he learned so many things and thanked the city government and the Department of Education for the joint project. (PNA) LAP/CD
