MANILA, Philippines â?? For the fourth consecutive year, the First Pacific Leadership Academy (FPLA), a corporate university affiliated with the MVP Group of Companies, trained young individuals as they aspire to be the countryâ??s future forerunners for progress and sustainable development.
From January 27 to 30, FPLA hosted the MVP Future Thought Leaders Summit for 77 youth delegates from the following schools:آ*
Bataan National High School
Department of Education Division of Lipa, Batangas
Department of Education Division of San Pablo, Laguna
Don Bosco Technical Institute of Tarlacآ*
Inosloban Marawoy Integrated National High School, Batangas
Our Lady of Lourdes Parish â?? Camarin, Caloocan
Southville 8C National High School, Rizal
Tanauan City College, Batangas
With few formalized courses on leadership among schools, FPLA finds purpose in producing better leaders in the country by teaching and training the youth. The summit also seeks to achieve Chairman Manuel V. Pangilinanâ??s vision of empowering the youth to take a greater role in nation building.

With the theme â??Leadership inآ*Social Innovation,â?* the summit encouraged the young attendees to create grassroots level of change for their communities.
The Academy also held talks to enhance knowledge, skills and attitudesâ??all hinged on FPLAâ??s five pillars in the leadership development framework, a series of competencies that truly awaken the leadership spirit.
Workshops were supplemented with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) (https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/), an ambitious plan that imagines a world rid of hunger and poverty, and safe from the worst effects of climate change.
Vince Visey, Grade 11 of San Pablo City Science High School, said, â??Itâ??s a privilege na makapunta sa summit na ito dahil marami kaming natututunan about leadership. Since weâ??re guided by the 17آ*Sustainable Development Goals, nalaman ko kung paano magawang mag-utilize ng resources at paano gumawa ng actions as leaders.â?*
The young Visey would also take this important message home, â??Na-move ako noong sinabi sa amin na â??You must be a leader of yourself, before you can be leader of others. If you are a follower with a vision, then youâ??re a leader; but if youâ??re a leader without a vision, youâ??re just a follower.â??â?*
Responsible for inspiring these delegates with their nuggets of leadership wisdom are none other than the speakers who are well-versed inآ*each of the FPLA Student Leadership Development Framework Pillars:
Jose Mari Oquinenaآ*
John Paulo Delas Nievesآ*
UP Genetics Research and Agricultural Innovators Society (UP Grains)
Fiona Faulknerآ*
FPLA Teamآ*

In her welcoming speech, Kay Biason, head of Executive Educationآ*and officer-in-charge for FPLA, said, “No matter the title or the position, everyone is a Leader in his or her own right, and weâ??re here to guide you in developing that leader in you to allow you to lead yourself and eventually lead others.”
For her part, Cheska Avenido, a Grade 10 student who was also a delegate from San Pablo City Science High School, said, â??We are honored to be trained in a facility that really helps student leaders lead in the future. Dumami ang kaalaman namin dahil â??yung mga resource speakers help us be inclined doon sa framework na binigay.â?*
On what she learned the most, Avenido answered, â??That â??We the youth is what the world needs.’ Na-realize ko na talagang kailangang mag-step up ng youth, kailangan kami yung mag-initiate ng actions na makakatulong sa future natin bilang isang bansa.â?*
The MVP Future Thought Leaders Summit was sponsored by FPLA and its partners, CignalTV, Mayniladآ*and PLDT-Smart Foundation.
Since, 2011 the First Pacific Leadership Academy (FPLA) has been a premier training and development center with its duality and integrative nature of providing the best of both worlds: leadership programs and world-class facilities.
