“SABAY TAYO tungo sa 2015! Sama-sama, walang iwanan”
February 22, 2006
PUP’s part on the achievement of the MDGs
The Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP), College of Communication (CoC) in cooperation with the Voice of the Youth Network (VOTY) and Missionaries of the Child Jesus (MCJ) will be taking a simple step towards the success of the Millenium Development Goals.
Nine PUP students taking up Bachelor in Braodcast Communication namely Richardson Mojica, Envy Parubrob, AM Laurente, Mary Grace Andoque, Jesse Ruben Bibay, Abbie Cagasan, Christian Singuay and JP Carlos, took the initiatiative to hold the set of activities and programs for the target beneficiaries to cover up some of the MDGs respectively:
- Medical Mission and / or Dental Mission Reduce Child Mortality and Improve Maternal Health.
- This targets at least 60 patients (depending on the number of Doctors/ Dentists and Medicines) primarily the pregnant mothers and children below 5 y/o.
- Feeding Program Eradicate Extreme Poverty and Hunger.
- This targets to feed the Community Day Care Center with about 75 students
- Book Donation Achieve Universal Primary Education
- The group will donate pre- school and children’s books and other educational materials to the Community Day Care Center.
- Symposium regarding the MDGs
The communication campaign primarily aims to help the country and other organizations like VOTY to achieve the Eight MDGs that the United Nations have set in the year 2000. The title “Sabay Tayo tungo sa 2015!” was inspired by the song Tayo- tayo rin where in the group have given emphasis on the year 2015 to achieve the positive outlook towards the achievement of such. While the sub title inspires and reminds all that every one is a part of this goal. Camaraderie and unity will be a very powerful synergy towards the same goal.
This camaraderie and unity is much vissibe between PUP- CoC, MCJ nuns, and VOTY. All parties are working hand in hand to and taking the same road towards the accomplishment of the Millenium Development Goals.
EVOLUTION OF LAKAS KABATAAN – TINIG KABATAAN: RECHARGED!!!
February 16, 2006EVOLUTION OF LAKAS KABATAAN – TINIG KABATAAN: RECHARGED!!!
In 1997, Lakas Kabataan was first aired over DZME 1530 kHz, every Saturday for the purpose of giving young people a chance to voice out on radio. Through the years it has become a venue for debates and discussions on youth social issues. Topics ranged from teen relationships, family values, and education to political and national issues. Ms. Jenny Navata, now a resident DZME Broadcaster (Home Buddy, Beat Watch) first hosted the program. Then by Mr. Dennis Principe, news and sports anchor of IBC 13 and by Anthony Bendo, a former news anchor, and deejay and news editor. Lakas Kabataan eventually was taken over by Ms. Suzette Ledesma, the friendly Ilongga and a certified charmer, co-host of the daily on-air shopping program “Sale ng Bayan”, and DJ Emsie, a senior news writer and a segment anchor of DZME’s daily showbiz-oriented program, “Showbiz Tsikahan” that already established a huge listener following.
In July 2004, with the goal of creating a more invigorating program that would further reach out to young people and youth organizations, The Voice of the Youth (Tinig Kabataan) Network, was invited through it’s founder and president, Mr. Pocholo D. Gonzales, a voice talent and an internationally recognized youth advocate that has represented the Philippines in worldwide youth affairs. Because of VOTY Network’s success as a youth organization, in August, Lakas Kabataan formally merged with Tinig Kabataan to Recharge the Filipino youth spirit and evolved into LAKAS KABATAAN - TINIG KABATAAN: RECHARGED!!!
FEATURED YOUTH ORGANIZATIONS AND PARTNERS:

LISTENER IMPACT
The major challenge for the program is to get the attention of it’s target listeners, the young people, who are preoccupied with a lot of activities in school, in playing online games and going out during the weekends. It may not be usual for the youth to listen to AM Radio that has somehow become associated with older listeners. There is so much in store for LKTKR. Aside from the summary of each episode being documented and published in it’s website, soon, replays of the radio program would be uploaded in the Internet for young people could to hear anytime and anywhere in the world. The radio program would also conquer print, as we plan to link-up with youth publications and create our own one.
LKTKR face this challenge through the utilization of the Internet. Through Voice of the Youth Network’s official website, www.voty.org, and it’s e-mailing list of over a hundred thousand, information and promotion is just a click away. And as we feature several organizations with large youth membership, we see their enthusiasm for the program. We’ve been receiving text messages from NCR and nearby provinces giving positive feedback. The timeslot of LKTKR that is preceded by DZME’s ultimate Sports Program, Usapang Sports hosted by Ms. Beth Selis, is also considered an advantage.
We also make our fellow young people realize that the force and industry of radio broadcasting is still powerful in the midst of modern media and could still be a fruitful career in the future.
POSSIBILITIES
In our Bilib Kami Sa’yo segment we have been scouting for students and young achievers who make a difference. Soon, we would award all that we have invited in one major “recognition day” episode where all of them would meet and would get together. These young people from all walks of life and advocacies need the sincerest recognition as they inspire our fellow youth.
On-location coverage, more airtime, contests and promos for our listeners, more entertainment and more talented young people are just among the possibilities of LKTKR in the near future. Through your support, all of these would turn into reality.

Subject: An Organization that’s for me is "near perfection"
VOTY is an organization that caters to all. It is not exclusive, meaning it doesn’t make room for any barriers be it socio-cultural, political or religious barriers. Secondly, its aims are so noble and not consumed by self-interests that’s why it will never lead to fragmentations as well as isolation as what happened to other youth organizations that supposedly are founded on noble vision. VOTY’s brilliance to inspire, inform and involve the youth can be attested by the international community that’s why it garnered numerous awards both locally and internationally. In VOTY, you will meet people from all sectors of society and all of you are comfortable with one another because VOTY is non-traditional, meaning it doesn’t give the sense of having bosses to unleash terror on you. Lastly VOTY fuels the youth with self-esteem and allows for initiative to settle in because the playing field is leveled through opportunity equity. _________________________________
