“I have so much confidence and trust in all of you. I encourage you to be like farmers. Plant good things so the younger generations can harvest good things also. Because what we plant today is what you, the youth, will reap in the future.”
This was the inspiring message of Mayor Edwin “EdSa” Santiago to the city youth officials as he, together with the Rotary club of San Fernando, officially concluded the youth week celebration on November 08.
Santiago firmly believes in the potentials of the youth sector reiterating the importance of their role in nation building and development. Thus, he challenged the youth officials to share their knowledge to their co-equal as they part ways.
