By Minerva Newman CEBU CITY — A three-day “Barka­da Campout” for more than 100 Cebu youth leaders wrapped up Sunday at the Boy Scouts of the Philippines (BSP) Camp at Capitol Hills Cebu City. Barkada Campout (BARKADA CAMPOUT / MANILA BULLETIN) The event aims to foster interac­tion among the youth on leadership, empowerment and youth-oriented advocacies. The Cebuano Youth Ambassadors, Inc. (CYA) organized the campout in partnership with the Junior Chamber International (JCI)-Mandaue and vari­ous youth organizations in Cebu. CYA founder and Chairperson Paolo Martin Saberon said the activity is the second initiative of the organiza­tion. The first was the CYA Summit in 2017 attended by more than 300 youth leaders. Saberon said one of the major ob­jectives of the Barkada Campout is to impress on the participants their role in fulfilling the United Nations (UN) Sus­tainable Development Goals (SDGs). “We want to create a youth net­work with a shared agenda to support the delivery of SDGs in Cebu, and to document, declare, and disseminate the aspirations of Cebuano youth to local levels as recommendation for incorporations with local development policies,” he said. Nicholas Tura, University of San Jose – Recoletos (USJR) student council president who attended the campout told Manila Bulletin he joined the campout “to build connections with different student leaders in Cebu.”
