Kabatanonan sa Barangay 35 engages on Reproductive Heatlh

The Kabatanonan sa Barangay 35 conducted its first youth forum on reproductive health. Speakers came from the Population Commission, which gave basic life coaching, and skills input. The City Health also gave an input on reproductive health with a clear focus on Sexually transmitted diseases.

The forum, conducted inside the Barangay Hall session, was participated by the youth leaders of Barangay 35. The barangay council has expressed deep concern in the growing trend of teenage pregnancy in the barangay.

The youth officers shared that this is just the first of a series of forums that would focus on reproductive health. They are aiming to raise the level of education and awareness among the young so they can better understand the consequences of their actions.

The People's Council of Cagayan de Oro

The OYDC attended the consultation entitled: "Providing social accountability intervention to foster constructive engagement of stakeholders in local government affairs of Cagayan de Oro City" funded by the Asian Development Bank. 

Its main objective is to create  a multi-sectoral, citizen-led People’s Council that will sit in the different committees and special bodies of the local government unit. The representation in these bodies are the entry points for social accountability for the attainment of the people’s agenda.

In the OYDC is enthusiastic in being part of this engagement as a member of the youth sector.

In the discussion to further hone the People's Agenda,  we have manifested three areas that the council should explore. One of which is an ordinance that shall facilitate crowd-sourcing. In this ordinance, public hearings are extended to social media platforms such as facebook, twitter and whatnot. The opinions, comments, thoughts, and manifestations of the Kagayanons will be in the legislative records and will be put into consideration before passing an ordinance. Second, we told the body to push for a "stigma-reduction" on HIV-AIDS considering that the city has become a hotbed nation-wide for HIV-AIDS. We have to stir more discussions on this issue and educate the barangays. And third, pass an ordinance that shall regulate the selling of liquors to minors. Since it is already evident that our minors are being accommodated by scrupulous vendors.

We hope that this long term engagement will facilitate political change in our locality particularly the poor's access to political power.

Sooner or later, that passion, coupled with skill and opportunity will bear good fruits that do not only empower others but improve the lives of our less-fortunate brothers and sisters.
