“The YLS has a big impact in areas having numerous New Peoples Army (NPA) mass supporters and it is also an activity that contributes much in the development of Brgy Olave,” said Felix Balansag, Municipal Administrator of Buenavista, representing Municipal Mayor Norbert B. Pagaspas.
"You can create goodwill and unity amongst yourselves, YLS focuses on your holistic development," Balansag told the youth participants.
