DAVAO CITY, Philippines — In his first day as the youth representative to the Davao City Council, newly elected Sangguniang Kabataan Federation President Jaffar Marohomsalic took oath as the new committee head for Youth and Sports and Development which was previously headed by Councilor April Marie Dayap.
Marohamsalic, who hails from Barangay 23-C, promised to focus on youth scholarship program to deter gangsterism and violence in the streets.
He said the scholarship program will prioritize the growing number of youth indigents, not just those with good academic record.
“The SK Federation will focus on youth empowerment and student’s rights. We want to give chances to all the youth so that they can finish their studies,” said Marohomsalic.
During his first privileged speech, the councilor said he plans to organize a Youth Leaders’ Congress.
Recently, the federation assigned political district coordinators for SK council in the city. (davaotoday.com)
