Message: Youth Power 2005 was simply amazing because it
made great things possible. I hope I could you
guys more of the details but this space for
bulletin isn't enough to do so... Hope I could
follow it up the next post...

To tell you guys, you missed a big part of your
youth life if you weren't there. If i could
describe it in one word, it would be INSPIRING.
But a word isn't enough to describe it so i made
it into two words, OVERWHELMINGLY INSPIRING.

Voice of the Youth (VOTY) got a lot of volunteers
coming from different parts of the country and
different youth organizations. We have delegations
from as far as Cagayan Valley in the north, and
Tawi-tawi and Jolo, Sulu in the south. It's a
convergence. Hardwork, initiative and dedication
were all among the volunteers. They did that
in the name of youth service and advocacy to bring
positive change to the youth.

What's also amazing is that all the speakers such
as Senators Manny Villar and Richard Gordon,
Cong. Juan Miguel Zubiri, Businessman and Public
Speaker Mr. Francis Kong, PLDT Exec VP, Butch
Jimenez, GMA7's Arnold Clavio, NYC Commissioner Mark
Castrodes and all the Kapuso artists who
performed, like Dennis Trillo, Karylle, Jolina
Magdangal, Sherwin Ordonez and Biboy Ramirez, XY
Kids and Ghost 13 and Slapshock were there as
volunteers as well, for FREE. As what Emsie said,
a million thanks to Ms. Maybeline Dela Cruz for
making that possible. She's a VOTY member too.
They truly supported the cause, the youth.

More than 6,000 individuals came for the two day
event, truly the biggest and the premier youth
event of the year. Youth Power 2005 is only the
beginning of hopefully, a daily dedication and
commitment for all of us. See you in Youth Power
2006.

It all started with a dream of Pocholo Gonzales
with Ian Barcelona and Lloyd Luna as well. And
this coming into reality was made possible in
partnership with Ms. Anna Bacani-Lacsamana's Next
Step Events Planner... It is really a dream come
true...

Youth Power 05 was amazingly and
overwhelmingly successful. Hopefully we could tell
you guys more how it went this coming days thru
our posts.It was a dream realized that i'm sure
would inspire everyone, leaders and movers alike,
especially young people.

VOTY got enough volunteers to add those who
came from other organizations and we couldn't
have made it without their hard work, initiative and
dedication. VOTY, aside from members and
officers, got around 50 volunteers from different
orgs like UP FLIPP and Red Cross Youth.
Actually, the new volunteers got their assignments
on the afternoon before the event. Some of them
who came, either for a single day or the two-day
event, got their task before the program started. It
was quite spontaneous for the new volunteers but
overall, it went well. They got free food and Youth
Power T-shirt =). Committees were usherettes,
marshalls, registration, food, production, program,
media and documentation. Even the program
hosts/emcees were volunteers. What's also
amazing is that all the speakers such as Senators
Manny Villar and Richard Gordon, Cong. Juan
Miguel Zubiri, Businessman and Speaker Mr.
Francis Kong, Arnold Clavio, NYC Commissioner
Mark Castrodes and all the artists who performed,
like Jolina Magdangal and Slapshock
were there as volunteers as well, for FREE. A
million thanks to Ms. Maybelyn dela Cruz for
making that possible. They truly supported the
cause, the youth.

Overall, More than 6000 individuals came for the
two day event, truly the biggest and the premier
youth event of the year. I hope you were able to
join us.

Thank you very much for your support. Youth
Power 2005 is only the beginning of hopefully, a
daily dedication and commitment for all of us.
