Secretary Joel Villanueva of the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) inspired the youths who participated in the activity to be productive and be participative in the different programs of the government. “Hindi lang kayo ang pag-asa ng bayan, kayo ang may-ari ng kinabukasan ng ating bayan. Kung kayo ang may-ari huwag na huwag kayong papayag na ang mamanahin nyong kinabukasan ay hindi para sa inyo at hindi sapat sa inyong pangangailangan.” he explained as he mentioned that these youth possess the blood of a hero.
