Report on Youth Development
“In my vision I saw many things that I love. I
was very grateful that people were united to
do good things. I saw my family very happy
because they have a good life. It is because
of my dreams that I fulfill. I saw Philippines is
now a better place. There are no poor
people, no crimes, no corruption in the
government, no shortage problems.
I wish that what I saw today is real one day”
