Empowering Youth: Advocating for Peer Health Navigation at Leadership Summit 2025

RTR, Agusan del Norte — Jayson Patalinghug, the dynamic YOLO Coordinator of Agay National High School (Agay NHS), took center stage at the Youth Leadership Summit 2025, where he shared his expertise on *Peer Health Navigation*—a transformative approach to empowering young people as advocates for healthier communities. Organized by the 29th Infantry Battalion, RTR-LGU, and the Sangguniang Kabataan (SK), the summit brought together youth leaders from seven barangays of Remedios T.

Peer Navigators: Catalysts for Change

Patalinghug’s session, titled *“Peer Navigators as Influencers: Helping Teens and Young Adults Lead Healthier Lives Together,”* highlighted the critical role of youth in bridging gaps in health education and access. “When peers guide peers, trust is built naturally,” he explained. “Young people are more likely to listen to someone their own age, especially when discussing sensitive topics like mental health or reproductive rights.” His interactive presentation emphasized practical strategies for peer navigators, such as active listening, non-judgmental support, and leveraging social media to disseminate accurate health information.  

A Summit of Solutions

Patalinghug’s insights resonated deeply, aligning with the summit’s goal of fostering proactive, informed youth leaders. “Health navigation isn’t just about sharing knowledge—it’s about creating a culture of care,” he remarked.  

A Legacy of Youth Empowerment

His participation in the summit underscored the power of collaboration between schools, local government, and the military in shaping resilient communities.  

The event concluded with a renewed commitment from attendees to serve as peer influencers in their barangays. For Patalinghug, the message was clear: “When we empower one young person, we ignite a ripple effect. Together, we’re not just navigating health—we’re navigating change.”

Rising Above Adversity: The Journey of Warlyn Acao as an ALS SHS Student and Parent

Education has always been a force for transformation, and Warlyn Acao’s journey as an Alternative Learning System (ALS) Senior High School (SHS) student is a testament to that truth. As a mother of two, she made the courageous decision to return to school after years of dedicating herself to her family’s needs. Her path, however, has never been easy.

Warlyn grew up in the mountains, where life revolved around the land. She spent her days planting root crops and vegetables, relying on farming to support her family. Every morning, she would wake up before sunrise to tend to their small plot of land, carefully nurturing sweet potatoes, cassava, bananas, and leafy greens. The produce she harvested was her lifeline—she would carry heavy baskets down the rugged trails to sell them at the local school and in the nearby village. Teachers became some of her most loyal customers, purchasing fresh vegetables from her to feed their families. Despite the backbreaking labor, she remained grateful for the opportunity to provide for her children, even if it meant working tirelessly under the scorching sun and heavy rains.

Despite the hardships, Warlyn yearned for something more—a chance to break free from the cycle of poverty and secure a better future for her children. That desire led her to enroll in the Electrical Installation and Maintenance (EIM) program under ALS SHS. She saw it as an opportunity to gain a stable career and acquire skills that would allow her to stand on her own.

However, balancing academics and her responsibilities as a mother and provider proved to be an immense challenge. There were days when exhaustion threatened to consume her, as she had to divide her time between attending training sessions, completing coursework, selling vegetables, and ensuring her children’s well-being. Financial struggles added another layer of difficulty, making it hard to afford educational materials and other necessities. Yet, through sheer determination, she pressed on. She learned to manage her time efficiently, seeking support from family members and making the most of hands-on learning experiences to sharpen her skills.

Her dedication did not go unnoticed. As she progressed through the EIM program, Warlyn developed proficiency in electrical installation, maintenance, and troubleshooting. She took great pride in her ability to grasp technical concepts and apply them effectively, gaining recognition from her instructors for her hard work and eagerness to learn.

Her journey in ALS SHS reinforced her belief that education is a lifelong endeavor, not limited by age or circumstances. She developed a deep appreciation for accessible education, recognizing how it provides hope for individuals striving to improve their lives despite the odds.

More than just a personal achievement, Warlyn’s story is an inspiration—not only to her children but also to others facing similar challenges. She believes that with determination, perseverance, and access to opportunities, anyone can rise above hardships and work toward a brighter future. Her journey serves as a call to action for educators and stakeholders to strengthen support systems for students juggling multiple responsibilities, ensuring that no one is left behind in the pursuit of education and a better life.

Breaking Barriers, Building Dreams: The First Batch of ALS Senior High School at Agay NHS

In a remarkable journey of perseverance and hope, the first batch of the Alternative Learning System (ALS) Senior High School program at Agay National High School is set to graduate on April 14, 2025. This milestone is not just a testament to their hard work but also a beacon of inspiration for non-traditional learners who dare to dream despite life's many challenges.

A Diverse Group, One Goal

This pioneering group consists of working parents, single mothers, economically disadvantaged students, and those at risk of dropping out.

The EIM Journey: Wiring a Future of Possibilities

For the students in the EIM strand, the journey has been both technical and transformative. They have learned essential electrical skills—circuit installation, troubleshooting, and wiring systems—that prepare them for real-world applications. Despite the challenges of balancing responsibilities at home and school, they have demonstrated unwavering commitment to mastering their craft.

"At first, handling wires and tools seemed intimidating, but with hands-on training and encouragement from our instructors, we gained confidence," shares one of the students. "This program is giving us a chance to break free from financial struggles and aim for a stable job."

Their training also extends beyond technical skills. They have cultivated teamwork, patience, and critical thinking—skills essential for a successful career in the electrical industry.

Food Technology: Cooking Up Opportunities

Meanwhile, the Food Technology strand has been a delicious and empowering experience for its students. They have honed their culinary skills, learning everything from food preparation to kitchen management and entrepreneurship. For many single mothers in the program, this opportunity means not just acquiring skills but also securing a livelihood for their families.

"Before ALS, I only knew basic cooking. Now, I can bake, prepare full-course meals, and even plan a catering business," says Lorisjel Pongos excited about the future. "This is not just a certificate for us; it’s a ticket to a better life."

The strand also emphasizes food safety, cost efficiency, and innovation—crucial elements in the food industry. With practical training, they are prepared to enter the workforce or start small food businesses.

More Than Just a Diploma

For many in this batch, education is more than just a diploma—it is a second chance at life. Overcoming self-doubt, financial struggles, and societal expectations, these students have proven that determination and access to education can change lives.

Their journey is a reflection of the power of ALS in bridging educational gaps. It serves as a reminder that everyone deserves a chance to succeed, regardless of age or circumstances.

As they prepare to step onto the graduation stage, the excitement and pride in their eyes speak volumes. The first batch of ALS Senior High School at Agay NHS is not just graduating—they are breaking barriers, rewriting their futures, and inspiring countless others to follow their path.

Come April 14, 2025, they will not only receive their diplomas but also the confidence and skills to take on the world. And this is just the beginning.

PNP Conducts Anti-Drug and Anti-Terrorism Advocacy Campaign at Agay NHS

In a continuous effort to protect and educate the youth, the Philippine National Police (PNP) conducted an anti-drug and anti-terrorism advocacy campaign at Agay National High School. The initiative aimed to raise awareness among students about the dangers of illegal drugs and terrorism, encouraging them to make responsible life choices.

The campaign was led by PCPT Joel A. Ablan, Chief of Police, with PMSgt. Marife B. Uriarte as the resource speaker. She delivered a compelling discussion on the harmful effects of drug abuse, the tactics used by terrorist groups to recruit young individuals, and the importance of vigilance in maintaining a safe community. Her talk emphasized the role of students in preventing these threats and making informed decisions for their future.

This classroom-based advocacy campaign was facilitated by the Barkada Kontra Droga (BKD) officers, under the leadership of BKD President Mary Jane Mislos. Through interactive discussions and engaging activities, students gained a deeper understanding of how to resist peer pressure and recognize early signs of extremist influence.

The event was organized as part of the school’s intervention plan, spearheaded by YOLO Coordinator Jayson S. Patalinghug and BKD Adviser Rinalyn Dultra. Their dedication to promoting a safe and drug-free learning environment reflects the school’s commitment to shaping well-informed and responsible students.

Exploring Identity: Social Work Interns Facilitate FGD with Grade 11 Students

In an engaging and insightful session, Social Work interns from Caraga State University facilitated a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) with Grade 11 students to explore their personalities, aspirations, and self-awareness. The activity, initiated by Mr. Jayson Patalinghug, YOLO Coordinator of Agay NHS, in partnership with the Social Work interns, provided students with the opportunity to reflect on their individuality, strengths, and future goals while engaging in meaningful discussions with their peers.

The session aimed to guide students through self-discovery and personal growth, fostering an environment where they could openly express their thoughts and perspectives. With notebooks and study materials in hand, the students participated actively, sharing their experiences and learning from one another. The interns, acting as facilitators, encouraged self-reflection and discussion on various aspects of personality development, including values, motivations, and challenges.

"Understanding oneself is the first step toward making informed decisions about the future," shared one of the Social Work interns. "Through this discussion, we want to empower students to recognize their strengths and navigate their journey with confidence."

The activity was not only an academic exercise but also a means of promoting emotional intelligence and self-awareness among the students. The open-circle discussion format allowed for a comfortable exchange of ideas, making it easier for students to voice their thoughts and receive feedback from their peers and facilitators.

According to one of the participating students, the FGD was an eye-opening experience. "It helped me understand myself better and appreciate my peers’ perspectives. I realized that we all have different struggles, but we also have unique strengths that make us who we are."

The initiative by Caraga State University’s Social Work interns highlights the importance of holistic education that goes beyond traditional academics. By addressing self-awareness and personality development, the program contributes to the students’ overall well-being and readiness for future challenges.

As the session concluded, students expressed gratitude for the opportunity to engage in deep self-reflection. The Social Work interns, in turn, took pride in their role as mentors, helping guide young minds toward a more profound understanding of themselves.

This FGD is just one of the many steps toward shaping well-rounded individuals prepared for the journey ahead. With continuous efforts like this, Caraga State University is not only educating minds but also nurturing hearts and spirits, ensuring that students are equipped with the emotional and intellectual tools necessary for success in life.

Rising from the Ashes: Agay NHS Students Help Rebuild Their Future

In the wake of destruction, resilience takes center stage. After a devastating fire struck Agay National High School in 2023, students and teachers faced an uncertain future. Classrooms were lost, but the determination to continue learning remained strong.

Now, in S.Y. 2024, hope is being rebuilt—both literally and figuratively. With funding from the Department of Education (DepEd), a temporary learning center has been constructed to ensure that students still have access to quality education. And while they did not build the classrooms themselves, the students of Agay NHS played a crucial role in the process, lending their hands and hearts to the effort.

Students Lending a Hand in Recovery

As the framework of the temporary learning center took shape, Senior High School students from the Technical-Vocational-Livelihood (TVL) strand stepped in to assist. They helped move materials, supported construction workers, and worked together to prepare the space for learning. Their involvement was not just an act of service—it was a reflection of their dedication to their education and their school community.

“We wanted to do our part,” said one TVL student. “Even if we didn’t build the classrooms, helping in any way we could made us feel like we were contributing to something bigger.”

The newly built structure, with its sturdy wooden frames and fresh roofing, now stands as a testament to teamwork and perseverance.

Education Beyond the Classroom

For the TVL students, assisting in the rebuilding efforts was more than just a responsibility—it was a hands-on learning experience. They witnessed construction techniques, gained practical knowledge, and saw firsthand how teamwork and determination can create meaningful change.

“Our students didn’t just watch from the sidelines,” a teacher shared. “They became part of the process, showing that education isn’t just about what happens inside a classroom—it’s about how we apply what we learn in real life.”

A School United in Hope

Despite the challenges brought by last year’s fire, the students and faculty of Agay NHS have proven that adversity can be met with unity and action. Thanks to the swift response of DepEd and the collective effort of the school community, learning continues without interruption.

The temporary learning center may not be a permanent solution, but it is a powerful reminder that education persists even in the face of hardship. And for the students who helped bring it to life, it serves as a lasting lesson in resilience, teamwork, and the power of taking action for a better future.

Connecting and Engaging Young People: Implementing A School-Based Youth Program at Agay National High School

In 2017, Agay National High School was challenged by decreased enrolment, poor academic performance of students, and escalating dropout and failure rates. This reality prompted the school’s Supreme Student Government Adviser to establish the Youth Optimizing Life Opportunities (YOLO) supported by the Department of Education, in collaboration with the Commission on Population and Development in 2018. Primarily, the partnership moved to do a comprehensive inquiry to identify the root causes of these challenges. Comprehensive interviews found that 98% of at-risk behaviors of students stemmed from dysfunctional familial dynamics. Moreover, the training for teachers significantly affected how far students were assessed, which in turn affected academic growth and the decline in dropout rates. Widespread advocacy initiatives raised students' understanding and gave them the power to make wise decisions.

 

Seeing the potential of the YOLO Program in helping students and young people in general navigate through the problems identified, USAID has extended technical assistance in the early parts of the setting up the YOLO Program to further its promise. Particularly a Manual of Operations was developed that defined a system for the program to proceed with the conduct of its various initiatives. Moreover, to enable a comprehensive identification and analysis of various difficulties and risky behaviors students were facing and were exposed to, the YOLO program utilized the HEEADSS assessment tool by the time it was fully operational in 2019. The process allowed for early detection and deeper evaluation of the young people’s problems through the HEEADSS tool, define preventive measures, and a create strong referral network that identifies where young people are referred to in order to address their identified problems or issues such as romantic relationships, underage sex, alcohol consumption, and suicidal thoughts. The YOLO Program Team also found the need to set up an area in the school where students can go to for needed services. They repurposed an abandoned comfort room into a Teen Center, which is now a place where all essential health and counseling services may be accessed and availed of.

 

The outcomes of these interventions revealed the value of the program and demonstrated the utilization of such services by the students. From 2019-2020, the number of students who received one-on-one counseling using the HEEADSS tools increased from 145 to 1,315. Students’ assessments also increased from 1,623 in 2019-2020 to 1,850 from 2023-2024. The service providers comprising the team has also grown from two professionals to an addition of a professional nurse, two skilled teachers, a registered guidance counselor, and 40 qualified educators.

 

The YOLO Program stands as a potent intervention proven to help in connecting with the young people and engaging them to thresh out their issue and identify effective solutions for them. For Agay National High School, this is one way of showing the society’s commitment and compassion to caring for the students and young people in order to rise up and thrive academically, emotionally, and socially. Young people have great potential to develop resilient and empowered personalities despite adversities.
