NOURISHING THE FILIPINO YOUTH

                        "Science is a beautiful gift to humanity; we should not distort it" 

                                             -Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam

      National Science Celebration was themed: "Metabolize: Nourishing the Filipino Youth Towards National Well-being".

      There are too much evidences everywhere that science is working every second in our lives. Science is not as complicated as what we always imagine. It is everywhere and it is happening every second: the way we make decisions, the way we think of hypotheses, the way we solve problems and even when we are sleeping. Science must not be taken for granted or must not be abused for own gains and selfish agendas. It is for people. It is to improve our lives. Science is a beautiful gift to humanity; we should not distort it. To twist and mislead people is a great crime. It is to make us alive and grateful, not dead and disgraceful.

      Nourishing the Filipino youth can appear so superficial when you consider a person’s basic needs. It can be about ensuring the availability of enough food in their home. A person cannot accomplish tasks mindfully and effectively when he/she lacks a basic need - food!

        On the other hand, it means that we need to search for possible solutions for giving the needs for everyone, inventing science-based experiment that could help our nature even on society, inventing technologies that could help the planet, so if this will be administer to well-being, we would see great future ahead of us. 

      Creating an interactive and collaborative environment that includes healthy competitions will challenge the youth to be a better version of themselves. Competing with an approach to better themselves and learn new things about concepts, experiments, socialization, and interaction, will encourage the youth to always think of solutions. This will lead to innovations through science and technology. The involvement of the youth to these activities will not only develop their critical-thinking and science-related skills and abilities but will also create a collaborative environment among the Filipino youth.

      By providing a safe and healthy environment, we allow the nourishing of the Filipino youth. Their involvement in these activities will then lead towards national well-being.
