With the national elections merely six months away, we are all called upon to rise up to the challenge of contributing to genuine social change in our country.

Kabataan Partylist, the first and only youth representative in Congress, is a large network of energized and pro-active young people who are leaders in various organizations, formations and barkadas. Our members from across the regions represent diverse interests and backgrounds, tied by a common vision of a better future for the youth and for the nation. It supports youth and student-led organizations working for social, political, economic, cultural and environmental justice in the Philippines, and enjoins youth from all walks of life to foster active participation in nation-building, good governance and social change.

The National Convention of Kabataan Partylist is scheduled on November 18, 2009, Wednesday, 4:00pm at the Bahay ng Alumni, UP- Diliman, Quezon City. This National Convention with the theme “Panata 2010: Handa na Tayo” is the youth’s declaration that we are ready to step up, take the lead, and claim our rightful voice in the political process, and most importantly, change the way politics in the country is done. It will be participated in by different national organizations, student councils, student publications, young athletes, young celebrities, and youth leaders all over the country.

Mabuhay ang Kabataang Pilipino!
