The youth’s legacy is the world’s future.

International student-run organization AIESEC believes that the change envisioned by the young leaders of today can be actualized through self-leadership, community collaboration, and global generation movement. The organization trusts that the change that the youth creates today will be a legacy for future generations to celebrate.

On March 21, 2014 at the Samsung Hall, Taguig City, the first International Youth Leaders Conference (IYLC) will bring hundreds of college-level individuals from all over the world who pursue social change.

The youth conference will have talks, collaborative workshops, and awards that explore the leadership aspects of the self, community, and the world through the potentials of leadership and youth empowerment.

Delegates are introduced to introspective, collaborative, and proactive outlooks on the capacity of young individuals to instigate inspiration among members of their generation to mobilize global change through youth leadership.

Heart attack, stroke and cancer are the three top causes of death among Filipinos. These are chronic non-communicable lifestyle diseases brought about by our wrong choice of food, lack of exercise and other unhealthy daily habits. Though there is an increasing public awareness all over the Metro, only a few also consider preparing financially for their future to treat these lifestyle diseases if ever they are unfortunate victims of such.

Tabang Tambayan is a collaboration project between The Silver Lining Project, Primarch Entertainment, SparkMyIdeas and individual organizers, Kamilla Sumagui, Bryan Favorito as a spontaneous response in bringing aid to the typhoon Yolanda survivors. Volunteers Maria Ganal, Kris Garcia and Jansie Hernandez later joined the group in support of this cause.

Collectively, the group, in tying up with beneficiaries Air Juan and the Philippine Coast Guard Auxilliary Squadrons 401 and 406th Calamianes, have adopted a community of Sitio Maricaban in Coron, Palawan. Their vision is to provide Relief-Rehab-Rebuild missions for their adopted community and their mission is to bring together artists through a series of events in order to fundraise the provision needed for their vision to succeed.

Bagong Bukas, their second benefit event (January 31) targeted to fund their medical mission as part of their Relief initiative, was an immediate hit with the B-crowd. This event showcased a variation of performances-- the parkour stunts of the Philippine Parkour and Free Running Association (PPFA), the gravity-defying Pole Dolls, and the fire dancing Planet Zips wows the crowd with stunts performed with gusto for uplifting the Filipino spirit.
