23 Students Interface with Senator, Labor Secretary at PH Model Congress
Twenty-three Silliman students joined over 400 outstanding Filipino youth leaders from around the country in the 7th Philippine Model Congress (PMC) held at the Senate of the Philippines from June 2 to 3.
They went through a two-day simulation of the operations of the legislative branch to expose them to the work and affairs of the Senate. They also had the opportunity to listen to and interface with this year’s PMC speakers: Senator Risa Hontiveros and Department of Labor and Employment Secretary Silvestre Bello III.
PMC aims to strengthen the voice of the Filipino Youth, instill political awareness and civic involvement among them, and build a community of young citizens positively invested in the country’s future.
