A Date with Student-Leaders

MANILA: 20 November 2008 -- The Commission on Youth Ministry (CYM) together with the Commission for Social Communications (SoCom) of the Salesian Philippine North Province (FIN) gathered, for the first time, the student-leaders of different public and private high schools in the Greater Manila Area for an encounter and a forum on Servant-Leadership dubbed as "D8 Tau Liders [read: Date Tayo Leaders; tr. Let's have a date, Leaders.]". The event took place on 14th November.
    The Philippine Trade Training Center (PTTC), in Pasay City was filled with not less than 180 student-leaders eager to know more about servant-leadership and ever-willing to share their own genius.
    Fr Eligio Cruz, SDB, Provincial Superior - FIN, gave the opening talk that challenged the participants to be heroes and saints of today. A series of talks, discussions and workshops that enabled the student-leaders to understand better the character of a true servant-leader run through the whole day. Seasoned and well-respected Catholic lay-preachers, Mr Arun Gogna and Mr Vic Pestaño, enlightened the student-leaders about the topic through their well-animated and substantive talks. The aspirants and prenovices of the Don Bosco Seminary - Canlubang, Laguna (South of Manila), facilitated the discussion and workshops of the student-leaders. Meanwhile the lively young people of Don Bosco Youth Center - Tondo kept the youthful spirit of the student-leaders through their dance and song animations.
