Dear Friends, 

On October 23, 2016 the 62nd Infantry Battalion (IB) of the Philippine Army organized the Youth for Peace Workers Association (YFPWA) at the Battalion Headquarters in Barangay Bato, Sagay City, Negros Occidental. The organization is the first of its kind within the Philippine Army and has the following objectives: 




1) to improve the standard of living of every member; 

2) to protect the environment; 

3) to seek assistance/funds from the Government and other agencies where necessary; 

4) to connect with the Government on matters beneficial to its members; and 

5) to increase its income through alternative livelihood. 




It is through Objectives 1 and 5 that the Youth for Peace Association was attracted to the Eco-Kalan Project's livelihood program. From my perspective as owner of the Eco-Kalan Project, Youth for Peace associations, as offshoots of the Youth Leadership Summit (YLS) program of the Philippine Army, have the potential to benefit poor communities throughout the Philippines. 




The Filipino youth comprise 28% of the population in the Philippines. Some of them drop out of school; are involved in criminalities and vices; and are recruited by insurgents against the Philippine government. Through the YLS training/seminars, youths are nurtured to become responsible leaders of character, responsible citizens and advocates of the government's peace and development initiatives. 




The youths in this video are enthusiastic, highly motivated and happy in what they are doing. I believe they will find their niche not only in cooking, baking and marketing of its products but also in the production and marketing of efficient cookstoves, ovens and fuels; in emergency response; and in protecting the environment. 




Sincerely, 

Rebecca A. Vermeer 

Eco-Kalan Project in the Philippines
