CARMEN, Agusan del Norte — In the call to uphold the spirit of volunteerism and youth empowerment, Propelling Our Inherited Nation Through our Youth (POINTY) Inc., Carmen conducted a youth assembly at the Covered Court of Barangay Cahayagan here on May 13. The event, entitled "SIBYA KALINAW: Refresher and Youth Empowerment Activity," was attended by 36 Youth Leadership Summit (YLS) and Non-YLS graduates from the eight barangays of the said municipality. It aims to re-establish the organization and reconnect its members in continually pursuing the implementation of the organization's advocacy. Executive Officer of 4th Civil-Military Operations Battalion, Major Jojo Mascariñas; Executive Officer (Ex-O) of 23rd Infantry Battalion's Alpha Company, 1LT Leonard Minas; Municipal Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) Federation President, Hon. Anne Marjorie M. Betio; SK Chairperson of Brgy. Cahayagan, Hon. Jaymark Malinao; and guests from Presidential Management Staff attended the said event. "It is not what you choose to be today that you will become 5-6 years from now," Maj Mascariñas said during the opening program. Meanwhile, Hon. Betio encouraged the attendees to be responsible and active citizens in promoting peace and development, not only in their respective barangays but also in the entire Municipality of Carmen. Aside from the lectures about the Communist Terrorist Group's (CTG) recruitment strategy on the youth, their roles in nation-building, and being servant leaders, the attendees also engaged in a team-building activity facilitated by the officers of POINTY Inc. Agusan del Norte Chapter. The activity concluded with the Election of New Officers, where Ericka Ross Acaac of Brgy. Tagcatong bags the position of POINTY Inc. Carmen President.
