Cadet Girl Scout Francheska MJ A. Jalando-on (Alternate Girl Representative) of HUMSS 12-2 and Cadet Girl Scout Princess Allea E. Alvarez (SCPB Chairman) of ASSH 11-Dimasalang represented the Iloilo Girl Scout Council at the Iloilo Provincial Youth Development Council (IPYDC) Training on Strategic Planning and Capacity Development 2026.

The training, held on September 9–10, 2026 at Camp Goducate, San Miguel, Iloilo, was conducted in partnership with the Office of the Local Youth Development Officer – Iloilo Province (OLYDO) and the Panlalawigang Pederasyon ng mga Sangguniang Kabataan (PPSK) – Iloilo Province.

Speakers included Charlene Claire B. Bernal of the National Youth Commission (NYC); George Estolloso and Cesar Ocson of the Youth Work Research and Training Center, Inc.; and Nove E. Oracion of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan.

Plenary sessions covered the Philippine Youth Development Plan (PYDP) Presentation, the Crafting of PYDP 2027–2030 with Strategic Planning, and Project Management for Sustainable Development: Importance of Project Proposal and Basic Project Design Crafting.

Reflecting on the experience, Alvarez shared: “Despite being already exposed to leadership roles that handle project proposals and designs, IPYDC has opened a new path and vision on how I should plan and secure a sustainable project. IPYDC, in partnership with Youth Work Research & Training Center and OLYDO, walked us alongside the other youth organizations present, on a step-by-step basis on how to form a concrete baseline plan that relies heavily on statistics.” “When planning for PPAs (Programs, Projects, and Activities), we must never forget our baseline—our root,” she added. “It is easy to get lost in the planning process, but if we come back to our ultimate purpose, we can achieve our goals with confidence and lead our projects to success.”

Jalando-on, for her part, emphasized: “With statistics, we were able to identify and visualize the needs of the communities that are necessary to be addressed. As youth leaders, we believe that a project should not side with the convenience of the organizers but rather give importance to the side of beneficiaries.”
