As a platform for youth to increase awareness of fostering inclusivity in the political and economic system of our region, the summit serves as an opportunity for young leaders to be at the forefront of change in line with the region’s quest to autonomy.
In his opening remarks, College President Dr. Edgar G. Cue highlighted the importance of a higher level of comprehension among the constituents in order to push through with the dream of pursuing autonomy in the region.
He went on to elaborate on Dr. Jose Rizal's famous remark, “The Youth are the Hope of Our Country”, saying that it is critical to educate the students to become agents of change and champions for transformation in defining the future of the Cordillera region.
