The Federation of National Youth Organizations (FNYO) has elected a new council last June 17, which will assume office in October this year until 2015.
Five member-organizations got the vote from 14 out of 21-member participating organizations present during the election at the SYCAmore office in Don Bosco Technical Institute, Makati.
Newly elected member-organizations are the Salesian Youth Movement (SYM), Student Catholic Action of the Philippines (SCAP), Chiro Pilipinas, CFC-Youth for Christ (CFC-YFC), and CFC-Youth for Family and Life (CFC-YFL).
According to Maria Lea Dasigan, FNYO representative of the Salesian Youth Movement-FMA, the elected council members were active in programs initiated by the federation and by the youth ministry.
In an interview, Fr. Conegundo Garganta CBCP – Episcopal Commission on Youth Executive Secretary and Director of the National Secretariat for Youth Apostolate (NSYA) said the new council will help the Church in its role of evangelization.
Garganta also said the new council will work closely with the Church in confronting current issues that directly affect or influence the young such as the Reproductive Health (RH) bill.
He is hoping the group will intensify its efforts to trash the said bill.
The federation is currently being chaired by Chiro Pilipinas, represented by Badette Felix; the Assistant Chair Organization is the Student Catholic Action of the Philippines, represented by Frence Boiser; the Secretariat Organization is the Salesian Youth Movement, represented by Richard Tañada; the Treasurer Organization is the IT – Youth, represented by Lar Babia and lastly, the Liaison Organization is the Franciscan Youth, represented by Larry Manongnong.
