SK, Provincial Scholars to convene for Doypuay Kalangweran

LINGAYEN --- Some 600 Sangguniang Kabataan officers and members together with Provincial Government scholars from the nine campus components of Pangasinan State University are expected to join in the province-wide youth camp dubbed as Doypuay Kalangweran on April 30 to May 1 at the Lingayen beachfront in line with the Pistay Dayat celebration.

          This youth development program is aimed at illuminating the youth on environmental consciousness and on the essence of knowing their province’s history and cultural heritage for social awareness.

          Lectures on Environmental Conservation and Protection are included in the youth camp as a means of reawakening the environmental consciousness among the participants and also to rekindle the significant roles they play as members of the society.

          To bring the campers closer to one another in the midst of comradeship and socialization, various team building games to be played in the beach are also included along with a bonfire and fellowship activity with Governor Amado T. Espino Jr., on the eve of April 30.

          As an opening salvo of the second day, the campers will attend the Thanksgiving Mass at the Pangasinan Training and Development Center; and right after, they will get a chance to see colorful and artistically designed bancas as they join the fluvial parade dubbed as Banca Parada which will commence at Sitio Bantayan, Pangapisan North, Lingayen to Banaga Bridge in Bugallon.

          With this activity, the provincial government urges the scholars and the SK members to give their best shots as Governor Espino vows to prioritize various youth development programs for the benefit of young Pangasinenses who will soon become future leaders of the province.

          Registration of the participants will start from 8-10 am on April 30 while the briefing on House Rules and Schedule of Activities and Distribution of materials for outdoor activities will follow afterwards. The food and accommodation shall be shouldered by the provincial government.
