The Parliament serves as a venue where policy recommendations are drafted to address youth issues. Outcomes of discussions also guide government in further strengthening its youth development program.

Both Bulangis and Ladero are members of the Silliman University Debate Society, and have recently represented Silliman last month in the Philippine Inter-Collegiate Debate Championship and the Great ASEAN Eco-Debates.
